I am up and I am getting everything ready. We’re less than an hour away from the start of our journey.
Florida or bust, babie!
I am up and I am getting everything ready. We’re less than an hour away from the start of our journey.
Florida or bust, babie!
It is 9:30pm on Saturday night. The car that is taking us to the airport will be here at 4:45am. My alarm is set for 3:30. Here’s hoping I get at least a little sleep tonight.
We’re 95% packed. All that is left is last minute things like this laptop I’m typing this post on, and some chargers, and things like that. Harry is here and he’s doing some laundry, so he has to finish that tonight too.
One thing that isn’t here is the new/ancient film camera that I bought off of ebay last week. The USPS delivery date/time was today at 9:00pm. It was set for that for almost a whole week. At 9:00 tonight the estimate changed to Monday at 9:00pm. Fucking post office. I’m so pissed off. Now my new/old camera is going to sit on the steps for almost a whole week while I’m off visiting Mickey in Florida. Fucking post office.
I’m going to try and get some sleep soon. Here’s hoping for a smooth journey tomorrow, a successful week’s vacation with the family, and a safe and easy trip home next weekend. It’s going to be a great week… despite the fucking post office.
I just packed up two suitcases and a backpack.
Who’s ready to fly to Florida to see The Mouse?
We are, that’s who. All we need is for Harry to get here. Well… that and for it to be tomorrow when the flight is scheduled. That too.
Did I take advantage of the perfect Spring weather to go out and take a shit load of photos today? No. No I did not. I suck. To make up for it, here’s another bunch of pics taken with my father’s Pentax K1000.
Note the matching t-shirts.
Not a horse’s ass, but…
If you had asked me two days ago whether or not I was planning on bringing a film camera on our next Florida vacation in June I think I would have said no.
Then yesterday I got a bunch of film developed and now I think the answer will probably be yes. I am so easily manipulated.
Seven rolls of film. All downloaded, sorted, cleaned up, and uploaded to Flickr. Here are a few randoms from the haul.
From Burlington, VT. I don’t remember the name of the bookstore.
From the Atlantic Ocean in Hampton Beach, NH. Splash.
From the happiest place on Earth.
From Animal Kingdom… unless it’s from The Last of Us.
From the lake surrounded by the Beach Club, the Yacht Club, and the Boardwalk hotels in Disney World.
With Kylo Ren at Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios.
From Rockefeller Center in New York, NY.
And in closing, my new favorite photograph.
Sundays are supposed to be band practice day. Are we on today or not?
As of yesterday, we are on but we don’t know when yet. Late afternoon? I hope so.
Change of subject, we’re going to Disney World again in June. In the interest of finding the silver lining, is it possible that with the nazis in washington trying to ass fuck all of our allies that enough countries will put travel warnings in place for citizens visiting the usa that we’ll have small crowds in the Disney parks? Bad for Disney, bad for america, bad for the economy…. good for our vacation? Look at me being all positive and shit.
Change of subject again, the Red Sox have now lost two in a row after winning their season opener. They play Texas again today. Opening the season with a four game series… yeah, I am ready to move on. As for the Bruins… they lost their fifth straight last night. They’ve lost eight of their last 10. Are they actively tanking? Sure feels like it. Suffice to say, it has not been a good stretch for Boston sports fans.
Yeah… I need a band practice to straighten my head out a little. Yeah.
Duck and cover, kids… there are going to be a lot of pics in this one.
Disney World. January 2025. Me, my wife, my step daughter, and my mother in law. It was a great week.
We are home. I am sitting up in bed. There was drama at the baggage claim and more drama, of the weather related sort, at the end of our driveway when we got here. I might write about those dramatic events at some later date, but I also might not.
Suffice to say that we are home at last. It is almost 11:00pm and I plan on having a sugar free snack, watching Friday’s episode of Severance, and then falling asleep.
Ah, Massachusetts. Our trip to Florida was outstanding, but I am so glad to be back where I belong.
Crazy. We were only here for one week!
