A Long Strange Trip

Active travel planning

In August, Mudd and I have been married 30 years. It seems to call for more than dinner at the local casino.

So, we are traveling in March, during his spring break.

On March 22, we head to Florida, at some unreasonable hour. I figure we'll take a cooler with drinks and our suitcases. I'm hoping to not need a wheelchair, but I will take my cane.

We can grab lunch in Atlanta, probably Red Robin (gift card), with their unlimited fries.
I also like the idea of Bojangles chicken for dinner
We'll need cash for tolls.
Then we pull into the Rodeway Inn, check in and call it a night. The Rodeway serves breakfast every morning.

Sunday is a recovery day. We check the breakfast, check supplies, go to the store, set up a park bag, and sight see. We might go to Old Town and check it out. Perhaps a microwave lasagna for dinner.
I plan to carry soda because we are not on a dining plan, and it's $4.50.

Monday, we head to Kennedy Space Center. (tickets to be purchased in Oct with Sept's mystery shop money)
We'll have a look at some maps and decide what we most want to see.
Not sure about food (see what i have in gift cards)

Tuesday is a busy day. (tickets are acquired)
We eat early and drive over to the parks (parking fee) make Hollywood studios at Rope Drop.
All I really want here is Galaxy's Edge. I want to ride both rides, buy a spira at the Droid Depot (I promised to bring one home to Hermes for his shrine), eat a ronto wrap and generally bask.

Then we head to the Magic Kingdom for a late lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern, a ride on the Haunted Mansion and anything else I can talk Mudd into (Pirates of the Caribbean and the Liberty Belle riverboat are both on my list, maybe the Monsters Inc laugh floor comedy show.). Then, we monorail over and spend the evening at Epcot, exploring Future World, riding a few things. Maybe enjoy some shawarma as we see the water parade.

Wednesday is a recovery day. Sleep in, rest, swim if the weather suits.

Thursday is Epcot all day.
We'll take the shuttle, and ride the skyliner from Hollywood Studios to Epcot.
Then it's anything Mudd wants to see and do and ride. I think we're getting fish and chips from Yorkshire County Fish Shop for dinner. Maybe poutine and some snacky stuff for lunch.

Friday, we head back. We can do it all in a day, or stay a night in Atlanta as needed

Needing Genre suggestions

So, it was suggested I try writing something I never have. I looked blankly at the guy and said "I'm not sure there is one."

According to my Backlist, I've written Horror, Urban fantasy, Fantasy (mythopoetic and high fantasy), SF (including post apocalyptic, cyberpunk, steampunk, dark future), Contemporary, and Historical (medieval, age of sail, western, 1920s, depression, 1970s)
