I want to go back to Disney World. Maybe not, but I do… I want to go somewhere. I want to go on a trip. Somewhere that my wife and I can hang out and relax and let the cares of the world go away for a few days… and I can take a lot of pictures on film.
Yeah. That’s the ticket. Let’s go on a trip!
Who are your current most favorite people
Daily writing prompt
Anyone who has spent five seconds on this page knows the answer to this question.
My favorite people are my wife Jen:
…and my step kids, Harry and Bellana:
They are the three people I care about the most. My three fav’s, by far.
That’s it. They are the sun my world revolves around. I love them all, more than I ever imagined I could love anyone. They make everything better.
The pics are from our trip to Disney World back in January. The two of Jen by herself are on film, the rest are digital. You know, just in case you were curious.
I am not ready for xmas to take over all aspects of our daily American lives. Every year I go through this. It takes me until maybe December 21st or 22nd before I start feeling the holiday spirit. Up until then it’s bordering on loathing. We as a culture over do it so much that it’s painful to me. I just want a normal December and then a few days of holiday excitement and then New Years and then it’s over again. Why is that too much to ask? Why did I have to hear awful, awful xmas music blaring at me at the grocery store on Sunday November 26th at 8:10am? It’s just gross.
I would like to go back to Disney World though, so here’s some xmas decorations from Magic Kingdom. Granted these were taken a couple of weeks after New Years last January which is equally as gross as xmas music in November but… whatever.
I only took a few digital pictures at our one day in Disney World last week. When can we go back so I can take some more?
Next time we go to Epcot I want to buy a t-shirt in every country in the World Showcase. You heard it here first.
Okay, so what happened with the Disney World trip? Put simple, it ended. One of us woke up feeling sick this morning. I won’t say which one, but there are only two of us here, me and my wife, so your chances of guessing correctly are pretty freakin’ good.
Anyway, one of us woke up sick and we debated what to do about it. Stay at Disney World and see if we felt better, then fly home on Sunday. What if we feel worse and we’re just completely miserable in a hotel room for three days and then go through the hellish torture that is flying while under the weather? If you’ve never been on a plane before while you are sick then you might not know how awful an experience it can be. I’ve done it. I never want to do it again.
Also, what if whatever bug we caught turns out to be Covid-19? We can’t fly knowing we have the ‘rona. I’m sure people do it every day, but I won’t be one of them. I am not putting other people at risk that way. No, I put my foot down. I made the call. We’re driving home now. We already had a rental car to get to and from the Orlando airport. Jen called the agency and changed our drop off point to Logan Airport in Boston and off we went. We stopped to pick up some Covid tests just to be sure and they were negative. We’ll probably test again before we get home, and I am willing to bet we’ll still be negative then.
Right now it’s about 9:30pm and we’re in a hotel room somewhere in the middle of South Carolina. We will wake up early in the morning and head out again. I doubt we’ll make it all the way home tomorrow, but we’ll chew up a good chunk of route 95 North and see how far we can get. We’re about 900 miles from home right now. It’s going to be a long day tomorrow, but we’ll be together and that is literally all that matters to me.
We spent the day at Epcot Center today. In the afternoon we had a visit with a couple of New Hampshire transplant friends who now work in the parks. It was a really nice visit that ended up in one of the restaurants in the Mexico pavilion where we had a fantastic dinner.
It was a very good day. I did not take many pictures though, film or digital. Here are a few rando’s though. The light was pretty bad all day and in the evening it was total cloud cover and a major rain storm. Here’s hoping for better sun-luck at Magic Kingdom tomorrow.
I’m not going to tell you how insanely long I waited to get a shot of the monorail.
