Taking Sly for a birthday trip to Aulani. We’re at YVR in one of their lounges relaxing before our flight. Looking forward to a week in the sun.
I’ll report as we go.
MidLife Crisis… Now with More Seg Faults!

I’m in the air at the moment, enjoying an upgraded Aeroplan reward flight in what’s called Rouge Premium. It’s business class on a no frills airline. That last sentence is almost unintelligible.
…
Didn’t actually finish this post. I was interrupted by the air host (?) offering me a lunch tray, which was unexpected. The meal was outstanding for airplane food. I was quite happy with it
I landed in LAS and grabbed my bags, rushed up to the transit stop only to find that there was a line of people waiting for the bus, which is strange. this is the first time in 4 or 5 solo trips that there’s been more than myself interested in taking the bus. Hellua way to get around, if you can figure it out.
Made my way to the Hertz to pickup my car, a nice, new Impala. As I was making my way to the suncoast, I remembered I wanted to visit the stratosphere (or the Strat as they are trying to rebrand) to visit The Hat Shop. Made my way over there and bought a new hat! I’ll be sure to do a write up soon.
The drive out to the west side of the city was laborious. Lots of traffic and much distance to cover. Arrived in one piece, checked in and was greeted with this view.
Low floor but I’m not bothered as it’s not costing me a thing.
I’m always amazed with the beauty of this valley. The mountains and the color pallette are striking and not to be ignored.
After a bit of recovery time I went down to secure some dinner. It took the form of a pan roast, as mentioned in this space two weeks ago.
It was amazing and it’s taking all my willpower not to have it for dinner tonight. More on that later.
After dinner I realized how tired I was, returned to the room and passed out until 0300 but that’s another story.
Just wanted to drop some more pictures on to the website to share with others.
I’ve had some people ask questions about the cruise and how to go about getting the best value possible. There might be a post made in the coming days that could enlighten the reader to the best way to go about it.
Getting near the gate for the fast pass lane to the Hollywood Tower Hotel, and they announce it going down again. At least we weren’t on it this time.
But we’ve been sitting on the tarmac of MCO for the past hour and a half. Too much rain and lightning to safely get us to the gate apparently. Though I understand the need for safety my patience is wearing thin.
Sly and I at the Magic Kingdom. A great picture for an overcast day. I like it because my beautiful wife is smiling and I’m tolerating getting my picture taken.
Another from our vacation last year.
You may not know that Disney Cruise Lines has it’s own private island, as most Caribbean cruise lines do. Usually at the end of your 4 – 7 day cruise, the last stop is at this island, Castaway Cay.
Great place to relax and recharge after… well pretty much anything. Last year we did the cruise after we did Disney World and I really enjoyed the timing. Got a chance to really relax and spend as little time as possible concerned with regular life. So here you see me enjoying the sun, sand and serenity of Serenity Bay. Yes, it’s actually called that since only adults are allowed on that side of the island and it’s so quiet as a result.
This one is my favourite picture from last year; my wife enjoying a frozen Mickey and looking wistfully skyward!
Sly and I were going through some of our previous vacation photos and laughed a lot. Thought I would post a picture a day until we leave next week.
Here’s me being a drunken pirate on our Disney Cruise.
