 |
|
Thursday morning, I was at work in beautiful downtown Glendale, when my bosses came in with an emergency. They needed someone to fly to Orlando to assist on a project that was of the utmost importance. The work wasn't difficult, but there was no one to do it. I volunteered, and thus got a completely free trip to Orlando for the weekend.
What ensues is the craziness that happened over the 40 hours I was in O-Town, and how I conquered it and became it's master.

Ok, so I decided to spend my last 6 hours or so in Orlando at Islands Of Adventure. Normally I take stupid pictures and make lame jokes, but I decided to try something different. Now I would shoot video with my Sony Digicam in Movie Mode and make lame jokes ON CAMERA. I shot all this today, edited it in the terminal at MCO with iMovie, and now it's uploaded here for you to see.

I am in awe. There is so much amazement here, that most humans cannot begin to comprehend it all. Wes is a god among men. Read this Photo TR or regret it forever!

I stayed at the Boardwalk a few years back, but the damn ship's mast slide was out of commission.

Ouch! Imagine the reaction to the Vaultarita...
So, when do we see the mast slide and coaster slide PoVs? (yes I am that sad, but somebody had to ask...)
Awesome Photo TR! Enjoyed it much.
