Nap
How did you spend your first couple of hours on vacation?
After getting very little sleep last night, shortly after checking into the Disney World Resort I took a 90 minute nap…
…and somehow feel more exhausted than I did before.
It’s good to be traveling.
Let’s Go
I’m ready, you ready Mr Airplane?
Almost Go Time
In less than 10 hours we will be heading to the airport. Florida is so close. The bags are packed and ready to go. The only thing left on today’s to do list, apart from sleeping, is my daughter Bellana is not here yet. Once she gets here, all of the preparations will be complete.
Disney Bound.
Getting Stuff Done
The first day of vacation is the last day before we fly to Florida. Lots of stuff going on. My suitcase is packed by my carry on bag and my back pack are not.
We have to run out to do a bunch of errands, then go to pick up my mother in law, then come back and meet up with my step daughter and get something to eat, then finish the packing, then hopefully go to bed early because the plane leaves Logan Airport at about four days before dawn, or something like that.
We also have to plan our Disney World park visits and what our ride preferences are.
Busy day!
It is Time
Yup. It’s time. What time? Too-close-to-vacation-to-concentrate-on-anything-else time.
One work day left. At 5:30pm tomorrow (about 21 hours from now) I will punch out of work and be on vacation for more than a week. I’m on PTO all of next week and the following Monday. Six business days.
I just have to get through that one final work day and then I will be out out out and I can’t wait. Also, I can’t focus on anything else. The flight to Florida is Sunday before dawn. At this moment in time, on Thursday night, I am literally watching Disney travel videos on YouTube. This one is about finding hidden perks when staying at the resorts.
Let’s go now. I mean, the hell with responsibilities, let’s just leave now!
So Close Now
One work day after today. Two days until the first full day of vacation. Three days until we fly to Florida. It is getting harder and harder to focus on anything else. I still need to pack. I still need to decide which film camera and how many rolls of film to bring.
I probably won’t bring any black and white film, unless there is already a roll in whichever camera comes along. Dad’s Pentax is empty at the moment. I’m thinking of bringing that one. We’ll see.
This water fountain is in the hotel we stayed in last time. I just can’t remember which one (we stayed in two last time). It is either Coronado or Saratoga Springs. My beloved bride, Jen, says this was in Coronado. She’s always right.
Getting Close
It is Wednesday. Vacation starts on Saturday, three days from now. The Florida trip starts on Sunday, four days from now. The temperature gauge in my car told me that it was -3 degrees out as I was driving through Wilmington, MA a couple of hours ago. Florida can’t get here soon enough, know what I mean?
This photo is inside a Disney Resort Hotel. That’s why it applies to the topic of this post. It’s not obvious so I figured I’d explain. Maybe I’ll post another Disney on film thing later just to be more obvious. We’ll see.
Making Plans
Five days until the first full day of vacation. Six days until we fly to Florida. We’re starting to finalize our plans for our week at Disney World. There is an after hours thing at Hollywood Studios one night, and another at Magic Kingdom on a different night. The after hours things are fantastic. It feels like you have the entire park to yourself.
One Week from Today
One week from today we will be in Disney World again.
Five work days to go…
Six days until we’re on vacation…
Seven days until we’re in Florida.
Oh yeah, and it’s snowing out and we could get eight inches of the shit tonight. Yippee. It’s gonna be a loooong week.
