... concert was beginning -- there are two everyday (at 1pm and 3pm). It was a program of Patriotic Music (as today is Veteran's Day), so I decided to begin instead at the Visitor's Center, watching the brief and fairly cheesy video. It did provide some background about the gardens and tower. Then, I started up the path to the top of the hill. The gardens definitely reflect local plants -- and paths wander through the palms and flowering shrubs as one climbs the hill ...

... Disney World and Epcot Center. I asked that guard, and found out that, if we got to another section of the park, down by the dock on the lake, we can see the Epcot fireworks (or most of them).

Not enough going on here to take any pictures, so just a map pin to say we've been here!

... way out!

Halloween night itself is so festive with all the neighbors (American spelling for effect) are out and about and all the neighborhood kidds meet as a house and go around trick or treating together...again, going all out with outfits they look great!

We had such a wonderful week of quality time with the fan-dam but all too soon 1 November rolled around and our amazing trip was over! We sadly made the trip back to the airport for the real final trip home...

... was loose from the shoe, which I knew about back at home. What I didn't realize was that this condition went all the way to the middle of the shoe. So, at some point, in Paris I believe, we found some neoprene glue to try to glue them back together. This sort of worked, but not really. After a day of walking around, they pulled apart again at the top. So, cheap me, I just filled the gap with the glue and let it dry overnight. It worked like a ...

Saturday we take ...

... crossing the Atlantic on a flight headed for Dublin.

I’m flying Aer Lingus, and the quality of the flight has surprisingly impressed me. Not that my expectations were too high, as I purchased my roundtrip ticket from Tampa to Dublin for the price of a large Coach tote bag. The seats are spacious and comfortable with TVs in the headrest (in place of the pay phones that nobody ever used) that allow you to select your own movies, pre-recorded shows ...

Sara Groves visited my friends recently and I had the unique opportunity to hear her heart for the world. I have to admit, I wasn't a big fan of the few songs of hers played often on the radio, but hearing her live that morning changed my mind completely. Sara has an amazing passion that easily transcends from her music to spirits of those listening... I suppose I just never ...

The catchphrase of DisneyWorld, in particular, Magic Kingdom, which is where we went today. As with the other Disney parks, the emphasis is on shows and experiences, rather than actual rides. Having said this, there are still a few rides worth going on, such as Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain and Space Mountain. Also, the Jungle Cruise, which is a silly safari boat tour, and my favourite - The Many Adventures of Winnie the ...

... and Sign cards in hand. We were then instructed to wait in the boarding area in a large room with at least 1000 other guests. The room was kept cool and there were plenty of drinks and snacks available if you wanted them. We kept ourselves amused and in no time our group number was called to board the ship.

When we made it on board, the first thing I wanted to do was see my ...
