... the oak grove to look at the view and enjoy the breeze. The sun dial also includes a carved graph that provides information about how to convert what you see on the dial to Eastern Standard Time ... not sure I've ever seen one of those before.

After viewing the gardens, I walked the Pine Ridge Preserve Trail -- it begins at the "Window by the Pond" -- a viewing shack for bird watching. As I entered, I thought, "It's like those viewing stations in African ...

Taking advantage of our Thousand Trails Membership to kick back for a week at the "Orlando Preserve", which is really in nearby Clermont. Unfortunately, the pool is too cold to swim in, but we used the hot tub one day. Every night, at 9 and 9:45 p.m., we can hear the "boom" of firewords ...

... the airport to your resort at Disney World. After checking your luggage before departure, you won’t see it again until it magically appears in your room at the resort. This is another hassle Disney gets rid of so you can start enjoying your vacation. Sadly, when your vacation is over Disney transports you and your luggage back to the airport.

Sunday we go back to Hannover and head down to Heidelburg and/or Kaiserslautern. The next few days are kind of flexible.

... stories, at random, so you really don't know what is going to happen, as each time seems to be different. A quick trip to the toilet and I was feeling braver, and back in the queue we went, and I even made it on to the ride this time. What I didn't realise, is that it's quite obvious when you are going to drop, as I find the not knowing the worst part of the ride. Anyway, let me tell you, after the first go, I was hooked. The ride is amazing, one of the best ones I have been on, and I'm ...

tomorrow i'm leaving. 5 weeks in the deep blue, samoa, new zealand, vanuatu. this time i'll take the kava and Fineaso in moderation. desert islands, active volcanoes, flying foxes, tapping tattoos, black sand beaches, vailima in green bottles, rainbows at night, dances under the moon, seasnakes in stripes, church in big hats, waterfalls in the jungle, spiders in showers, the bright stripe of the milky way, dark ...

... so we were glad we'd fast-tracked it and hadn't queued for an hour. We returned to Main Street to claim a patch of pavement for the second parade and the fireworks.
