Yoo Hoo, Disney EchoEars!
Continuing with a series of WDW trip reports from my friend Bruce Metcalf...
Metcalfs @ WDW day 10 w/OT job offer
Today was only a half day--second half first:
Late lunch at the Yacht Club Galley.  Nice.  SWMBO says WDW is the only
place she's ever had New England Clam Chowder with clams big enough to
chew--she loves it.  I had an old New England specialty: a spicy chicken
burrito, yum.
It still being stinking hot, we tried to walk *through* the Yacht & Beach
Club resorts to get as close to Epcot's International Gateway as possible
before leaving the air conditioning.  The guidebooks say this dual resort
is over a mile from one end to the other.  I think it's only about half
that, but you make so many wrong turns wandering through the buildings that
it just *seems* twice as long.  We did actually find our way to the door
just six feet from the bridge--only had to ask directions once, too.
Because of the mosquito trouble and consequent curtailment of waterway
activities, we have changed the theme of our planned photo essay from "The
Disney Navy" to "The Fountains of Paradise" (with apologies to Sir Arthur).
I hope to include shots of all of the fountains at WDW, and I got a
two-roll start on it.  I'll post an announcement when the web site goes up,
probably in a month or so.
Dinner at Askershus at Norway.  Yummy herring!  Then again, where else
*can* you get herring in this country?  Our server was shocked to find it
was our fifth visit with them--she said they almost never see anyone twice
there.  Maybe if they offered fries?
After three failed attempts at finding a decent spot on previous trips, we
planted ourselves in front of Canada and got a quite decent view of
Illuminations for a change.  I still say that Fantasy in the Sky over the
MK is a better show.  Malts at Beaches and Cream, and it's off to bed
(well, off to EMuck, but that seems to lack the same poetry).
        >>> OFF-TOPIC ALERT <<<
The reason the morning got off to a slow start was a job interview in
Orblando.  After 15 minutes, the vice president of the college asked if I
could start next Monday!  We tentatively agreed to wait until the end of
the semester.  Full-time work, a four-day work week and only 40 minutes
from WDW.  WOO HOO!!!
Pray for me gang, or at least send me bad news so my sneakers can get some
traction--I'm floating!
