Booked our fast passes for Disney today. That's always such a stressful process, but we got everything we wanted. I'm most looking forward to the new Slinky Dog coaster at Toy Story Land and the Flight of Passage ride in Pandora. Though even with all the new stuff, the highlights of the trip are always the classic in Magic Kingdom (the three mountains/Haunted Mansion/Pirates) and Star Tours.

If you're ever travelling in Spain, the A7 from Granada to Guadix is an amazing stretch of ever-changing wonderful landsacpes. While you're there, make the drive to Cabo de Gata.

When we go back to Spain, I'd like to visit the south.

Correction, it's the A-92, and you take it all the way down to where it meets the A7 near Almeria.
Preferably in spring!

Travel packing hack: I was looking for a way to pack a single day's worth of shaving gel or similar products for a short trip rather than having to pack the entire tubes/bottles. I found a screw-top contact-lens case does the trick. Put a shot of shaving gel in one side and a shot of Brylcreem in the other and leave the big tubes/bottles at home.

Noticed a "special offer" on Disney's website the other day for a significant percentage off on certain resorts. Our resort for July happened to be one of them but we booked before the offer was available. I just got off the phone with Disney and after about an 8 minute conversation, they refunded my account for the full offer - close to $600. Possibly the most pleasant call I've ever had with any form of customer service.

well ****.Could not agree more. Zero culture, a bunch of Colts fan fat humps (@slappybrown will get that reference), and mediocre food.Indianapolis is a pretty boring town.
Heading through there in June for an extended weekend. Was hoping to see something better than boring, zero culture, and fat humps from Colts fans.
Leaving Pittsburgh Friday, crashing somewhere in Kentucky on Friday night. Running through a cave/underground storage facility on Saturday morning and then driving up to Indy right after to golf at Brickyard Crossing. Until a few weeks ago, I never knew there were 4 holes ranging from 155 yards to 370 inside of the Speedway. https://www.brickyardcrossing.com/-/med ... kyard.ashx.
Sunday? Not sure what I'm doing. Probably just a straight shot east back to Pittsburgh and rest.

We are at the Salvatore's Garden Place Hotel outside of Buffalo this morning. Slappy would love this place...it looks like it was owned by mobsters in the 50s and 60s.
We rented a house in Niagara on the Lake for the weekend, and have a whole slate of activities in the Niagara Falls area today. Weather thankfully will be fantastic the next two days

Tomorrow we are just going to be in the NOTL area. LITT, thanks for the suggestion. I think we wine tasted there last time. We are eating at Ravine tonight.

Possibly the prettiest sunset I've ever seen last night over Lake Ontario. Rare that you get a complete lack of clouds on the immediate horizon.
