Disney 2010: Day 5

Yesterday was another sleep-in day.  We didn’t get out of here until around 9am.  We rode a bus to Hollywood Studios to catch a bus to the Swan and Dolphin resorts so that we could play a round of mini-golf at Fantasia Gardens.  (Pictures of every hole are in the gallery.)  John was beating me [...]

Disney 2010: Day 4

We slept in some yesterday morning.  It was my birthday and we were going to spend it at Magic Kingdom with dinner at my favorite place in Epcot to top it off.  I think it was close to 10am by the time we got to the park gates, and the first thing we did was [...]

Disney 2010: Day 3

This post should be subtitled “Characters, Characters Everywhere!”.  It rained. All. Day. Long.  It wasn’t cold, but it was definitely wet.  Animal Kingdom has never been our favorite park; there are a couple things we like to do, but it’s not an all day thing for us.
You’re probably wondering how we managed to get to [...]

Disney 2010: Day 1

First things first:  I’m posting vacation photos on my photo gallery daily!!
Yes, we’re back.  Yesterday was quite the adventure.  There was snow coming into the Mid-Atlantic region (closing airports along the way), and the mystery of what a Deluxe resort room (did I say FREE!) upgrade looks like.
We got up at 3:30am to make the [...]

Norway Wrap-Up

So, finally getting to my Norway wrap-up.
After the conference ended on Thursday, I walked around Tromso checking things out (about 6 miles, according to my pedometer).  In the process, I visited the Polaria (aquarium) where they have Bearded Seals, the Polar Museet (museum), shopped for a few souvenirs, and bumped into conference attendees from other [...]

Norway Pictures

All of my pictures from Norway are up now at : http://photos.nothingnoteworthy.com/v/travel/2009_norway. I’ll probably post an update tomorrow about my sight-seeing on Thursday afternoon and the trip home.
