What a Great Vacation

We tend to travel all over the map, but typically it’s in connection with conventions. So last month we decided to keep driving south after Farpoint Convention in Maryland and wound up in Florida. We spent a week in Orlando, staying in a cabin at Fort Wilderness and then moving on to Disney’s Caribbean Beach where our room was done up like a pirate ship. We also spent a day at Universal so that I was able to see the new Harry Potter section, and I also visited the Hulk ride at Islands of Adventure where my name was posted up on a list of officers who were connected with the gamma ride: a list that included J. Buscema, J. Romita and S. Lee. I was a lowly Corporal, but hey, it’s an honor just to be remembered. I traveled the lengths of the Magic Kingdom and Disney Hollywood, and Kath and Caroline later ran around Epcot while I just hung out and collapsed at our room. We also had dinner at my favorite pizza place, Giordanos, with several of our Disney friends (including one guy who was there the evening I proposed to Kath at the late, lamented Adventurers Club.) It was overall a great time and if I ever retire, I’ll probably move down to Orlando and get a job at the park.
