Day 5 = Zombie Day

We Came. We Saw. We Conquered. Then we collapsed into a heap.

That's what happens after a Disney Vacation. I may go once a year (or so), but I still believe I have to have every moment planned out. Which is great...on paper. In practice...it's just hard.

Saturday, February 12th at Hollywood Studios - 8a-12n

The day started the same as the last few. Up early, breakfast of champions, to the park. We had to get there early to go to Toy Story Mania. Cause the lines are crazy. We moved like gazelles and got in line for the ride. 15 minute wait and Fastpasses for later in the day and we were good to go. I'm happy to say I was victorious in both games!! Yes, pictures were taken. No, Scott didn't take the news well.

We had decided to go to Lights, Motors, Action and then head out for lunch. It wasn't quite time for the show, so we went to see the Muppets. Bad idea. We were both so very exhausted, so a dark theatre was bad. We didn't completely fall asleep, but we came close.

After Lights, Motors, Action, we went to ESPN Zone to meet up with Elvir. We didn't expect to have another rep lunch, but we had to get a check for the Universal tickets. Plus, it was nice to see Elvir a second time.

Before we knew it, the trip was over. We were a bit battered (my nerve-damaged leg and the cold that hit on the flight home, Scott's wooziness) and completely ready to drop, but I don't think either of us could imagine another way for our trip to end. I mean, I've been saying for weeks that it'll take a few days to recover from the vacation. It's just difficult when it's all actually happened. But as always, the planning for the next trip is underway (Feb/13 - Keys to the Kingdom Tour!!). The planning is always underway. I just need a good night's sleep first.

Nun Cookies of Madrid

Image
September 1st, 2015 Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a religious person.  I'm not going to crap all over anyone's religion, because to each their own.  It's just something that for me is not a thing.  But there was something in Madrid that caught my eye from the beginning. Nun Cookies. So picture this, cloistered Nuns bake cookies and people buy them.  But you don't actually see the Nuns.  You hit a button on a random door and hope they let you in.  Then, you buy the cookies by saying which one you want (or getting the ones you are given) and pay by way of a Lazy Susan. Something about this whole thing intrigued me from the start.  We knew this was on our list. We tried in the morning to find the cookies.  Directions are a bit sketchy, but the actual address is Calle del Codo 3.  Once you find the Mercado de San Miguel (that is a story for another day...when I get the time to write it up), walk on the street running parallel to the rig...

The Epic Summer Road Trip - Dorney Park and a British Pub: Day 4

Image
Wednesday, July 8th It is well known that Elias and I are amusement park people.  We may not go on the super thrilling rides, but we like going on twirly rides and eating all of the funnel cake.  So when we were planning out our trip in Philadelphia, we knew we'd have to make a visit to Dorney Park. Dorney Park is located just outside of Allentown, PA, less than an hour from Philadelphia.  It opened in the late 1800's when Solomon Dorney would fish for trout on his property.  Trout was abundant on his property, so he began selling his catch to people who were passing through.  As the years went on, people would come from far and wide to buy Dorney's trout and make a day of it.  Dorney began updating his property to give visitors something else to do.  By the 1880's, Dorney's park had added a small zoo, mechanical rides, and a park.  I don't know if it was the first amusement park, but it had to be one of them. We left Philadelphia a l...

A Mighty Big Deal in Panama - The Panama Canal

Image
Friday, June 2nd "Are you going to the canal??" That was the first question anyone asked when we announced we were going to Panama.  It makes sense, really.  Panama is really known for the canal. Except for me.  I knew the Panama Canal was a thing .  But I didn't entirely understand what kind of a thing it actually was. The day before our cruise, we spent a day in Panama City.  It rained and we honestly didn't get a full feel for the city.  As much as I will say we can have a great day despite the rain, it's always a lie.  Rain changes everything and makes you hate the world.  But you put on a brave face as long as you can and you try to duck into buildings and take long lunches to wait out mother nature. You might also have to wear a poncho. We ducked out of the rain and into the Panama Canal Museum in the Old Town district of San Felipe of Panama City.  Adele and I had scoped this out a few days earlier as we Ubered it to m...
