To infinity and beyond. Sometimes touristic: Sometimes creative.

So, out for an Indian the other night with son and his family, when talk got round to "When do you want to go Florida again". We were last there, the five of us April 2023, easter, the worst possible time. The parks were rammed. 2025, my travelling year is shortened, unable to go anywhere until May, dirty trips already planned.

  • We agreed on 2026, a momentous year, a good way to celebrate.
  • Convinced them we should venture down to the Keys, 25 years since I last visited, be good to see that sunset over Key West again.
  • That's taken care of then.
  • BUT! Not easter

Let's put the plan into action. Let's see what happens

I never uploaded all the last trip just never got round to it, so here we go throwing it back.

Disney's Hollywood Studios, Bay Lake.

Toy Story Land, an 11-acre area is based on Andy's backyard.

"Whaddya mean who is Andy?"

Is there anyone who hasn't seen the Pixar movies of Andy and his toys? Seriously?

I told you it was really fucking rammed, if ya don't like crowds then maybe the magic is not for you.

Think this guy enjoys his job too much, happy in the knowledge that he is heaping 2 hrs 10 mins pain on folk as they queue for a 3 minute ride.

Wow snow ☃️☃️ hahaha that’s rare…
Crawl back in and keep warm. It will be a mess.
I got this morning already snowy photos from friends and family… hahaha
It does look pretty.

Here we get this week over 50 cm more snow. Will measure how much the weekend.
I put up some Christmas lights yesterday on the outside of the cabin. My feet and hands almost froze 🥶🥶🥶

PIZZA!

$PIZZA slices delivered:
@littlebee4(1/10) tipped @grindle (x2)

I been to Orlando a few times but never down to the Keys, heard its very nice. You gonna recreate photos from 25 years ago? That would be fun

Yeah the keys are different from orlando, laid back and chilled, well worth the drive

If I had some I would!!! I shall speak to son, see what he has got album wise.

Who is Andy? hahaha, believe it or not some people still ask.... Wow, going to this iconic place at Easter, sounds badass yet fun hahaha, glad you made it. All these pictures have brightened up my morning and I hope one day you can share a little more here on #tbt Thursdays, always welcome Grindle 🙏

cheers @jesuslnrs thanks for dropping in and your kind words and comments, see you soon!

What a photo and a slight smile can tell us is incredible. Lol. The slinky dog is a marvel of semiotics.
Be well. And if you go to Orlando look for my sister, she looks a lot like me.

My eyes are wide open! Have you never thought of migrating there?

Well... if emigrating means putting my life in danger, I won't do it that way. But yes, I have been thinking about emigrating someday. Maybe it's too late, I don't know.

oof , dont put your life in danger, guess we have to play with the hand of cards that have been dealt us

Yep. Something is there in the next round, when the new cards will be dealt.

i want a full house!!

It was truly a fascinating adventure. I loved the photographs; they are great, with excellent angles. You managed to convey what each of your words meant. Especially the photos with all the people, the palm trees, and the sky: those images are postcard-worthy. All the photos you took with the people are really like postcards; they are very well done and convey so much. I loved the attraction itself and how you managed to capture it through your images. Congratulations! 😊

cheers @esperanzalandia thank you for enjoying my efforts, what amazing comments, they make it all worth while and are inspirational I thank you
