Overheard outside my door at 7:30am: QUAAAAAAACK! QUAAAAAAAAAAAACK! Apparently Hitchcock is staying directly above us and was feeding the ducks again. Now the ducks are camping out on our patio…waiting. Yesterday we went to Disney/MGM studios. We rode the usual…
Cloudy but magical!
We travelled well despite the 30 minute delay in taking off. Thor and I slept most of the flight. We arrived at the Polynesian at 11:30ish. My dinner was a piece of chocolate cake and some chocolate milk. I love…

USAirways is the suck, continued
I didn’t win at Bingo. But I did try the drink of the day, a Yellow Bird, which consisted of rum, creme de banana, Galliano, orange juice and pineapple juice. Yup…just juices. Because it’d be really bad to drink at…
