~Saturday~ We had planned to eat breakfast at The Maltby Cafe this morning, but had a change of plans rescheduling it for Tuesday morning. Kevin and I ate at Julia’s on Broadway instead. I had their Spicy Baja Omelet, and it was pretty damn good. Due to a calculation error, our waitress got about a 38% … Read more
~Friday~ A couple of years back, I changed my airline seat preference from window to aisle. So, looking at my seat assignment for this morning’s flight from Raleigh to Cincinnati, I was a little nonplussed to see, “17A.” Well, as it turned out, 17A was both a window and an aisle seat. It was one … Read more
~Saturday~ I met my friend Will at the Hardee’s at Gorman and Avent Ferry at just before 10:30, where he handed off to me a DVD set of the first season of The Wire. I’ve heard great things about this show from my fellow salon member, and friend, Etta. I said jokingly to Will as … Read more
~Saturday~ We were up at 9:00 in time to have the hotel’s complimentary breakfast, which ended at 10:00.

Life is … Read more
~Friday~ A glorious vacation day from work for both of us. We were up at a little after 8:00, and on the road to the beach at just a couple of minutes after 10:00.

Today we started our day at Animal Kingdom, where our first destination was to the Expedition Everest attraction. This roller coaster was closed when I was here in January of 2008, so I was excited about riding something new. We had about a 40-minute wait for this ride, as we decided not to do the … Read more
We got up at 4:45 this morning and set off for the airport at about 5:20. A ways up the road, I realized I’d forgotten my camera, so we looped back to pick it up. Out AirTran flight to Atlanta was on time and uneventful. In the airport restroom, I went into a stall, and … Read more

We had breakfast again at the poolside bar and restaurant. I had the “Caribbean French Toast” today, Very yummy. We had a lazy day, just hanging around the resort, so I’m going to capture something in today’s entry that actually happened on Friday. If I were home, this would be much like a buscapade. We were … Read more
