Tuck yourselves in, pour yourselves a Halloween cocktail, and get ready to go on a crazy little trip with a couple of loons in just about an hour. That's right, I stayed home on Halloween to write a freaking trip report. Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
I blame a giant mouse that took a giant straw and sucked every dollar out of my bank account last week. Oh well, I knew it was gonna be beans and rice city before and after this trip, and at least payday is just a few days away. Back to you with Part One very soon.

FINALLY, we are on a plane, and no plane trip is complete without the Beauty and the Beast and the Vodka and the Cranberry.

Ha, I knew I was going to like this trip report!

From my 11 hour(!) flight to LA from the UK earlier this year :joyfull: (not pictured are the very many vodka orange/rum & cokes consumed by this point- so much so I had happy tears declaring this the best flight ever! :D)

So, it is hard to believe that next week at this time, I will be on my last night of my Disney vacation, LOL.

Thanks for all the pre-trip love. The fact that this is actually happening is kind of a miracle.

In the meantime, last night, I saw THE FLORIDA PROJECT, a new movie that has a ton of Oscar buzz and is 96% positive on Rotten Tomatoes -

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_florida_project

It was AMAZING. It is about people living at the poverty level in a run down motel just outside Walt Disney World. It is rated R, and it is a hard R because of the language and situations, but if you don't end up in a puddle of tears under your chair by the end of this movie, check your pulse. Expect Oscar nominations for Willem Dafoe, Brooklynn Prince, and possibly Bria Vinaite, as well as Best Picture. Movies like this do not come around every day:

Here is the official trailer:

Just now diving into this report, but had to comment and say I'm jealous! It's playing in Memphis, but I haven't had a chance to go see it. Tangerine was one of my top 10 a couple of years ago, and I'm so anxious to see more from Sean Baker!

STUMBLING ON SAFARI - PART TWO - Let's go already!

Yeah okay, so here we go. Alarms went off. This cat (Jett) gave us dirty looks because he knew what was coming. He hates his cat sitter:

Jett kind of looks like he hates everyone in that picture!

I'm just projecting on the poor thing--my brother (Big fan of Joan), had a cat years ago, also named Jett who looked very much like yours and did hate everyone. I never met such an unfriendly feline. I'm sure your Jett has some tender moments. At least I hope so. :)

But wait....what's this in the JetBlue terminal at JFK??? Is our nightmare of security rewarded??? Yes!!! It is!!! Somehow, they are doing a free whiskey tasting at 10:30 in the morning!

"Would you like to do a whiskey tasting sir?"

"Err....Don't mind if I do! It goes with Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cheerios!"

Hey, don't blame me! I'm not the one who set up a whiskey tasting station in the middle of an airport in the middle of a morning.

Ooh, and they were serving up the good stuff, too. The Macallan is nice any time of day. :)

More debauchery will follow in the next chapter, which I hope to get to tomorrow. ;)

When you start out with a whiskey tasting, it really can't go any other way, can it? :cool:

I liked your room video--very nicely appointed room. I loved the tiles in the shower, as well as the African-inspired design of the shower curtain. (I think it's been well over 10 years since II stayed there, and the interior design has been updated a bit.)

By the way, regarding the photo of you standing by the sliding doors to the porch -- I was just wondering if you forgot your shoes on the plane? :p

Hey, Phil looks very happy on this trip! :)

STUMBLING ON SAFARI - PART FOUR - Two loons arrive at a lodge

Sorry for the delay here, I had a work thing last night. So where were we?

Oh yes, we just arrived at WDW, and we were being whisked to Animal Kingdom Lodge.

And, here we are!

I mean, that's just spectacular.

Now remember, we are here on a "conference" rate of $235 a night. So I could only imagine that we were going to get the biggest parking lot view that was ever handed out. I was expecting to smell the gas fumes from cars all week (week? ha! we were there two and a half days!) But when we checked in, our great cast member asked us if we had any special requests, and I got cheeky, and said "Savannah view???"

It must have been my movie star looks (LOL) or at least turkey neck, but she did all sorts of clicking and then said "I think I have a room you will love."

YES!

SO anyway, without further delay, let's see the room.

Now listen. I'm sorry, but I filmed this thing straight up instead of landscape view, but what do you expect from someone who started his day with Peanut Butter Cheerios and a Macallan tasting??? So it's a bad video, and it also contains me singing at a bottle of cranberry juice. So, err, best to just skip this, call the men in the white suits to come pick me up, and move on.



So, what do you do when you get an unexpected Savannah View? A terrible photo shoot, of course!
