Life is a Journey

The Food Fest was held at The Reef in Downtown LA. Each person got this bracelet with an RFID chip. That chip would keep track of the food offerings you selected inside and once you reached your limit, it would no longer work. A list of the beers being offered. The first thing I tried was Bhan Mi which consisted of slab bacon, asian slaw, sriracha mayo and a hot dog bun. Then I tired the Wisconsin Ultimate Cheese Fry which consisted of craft beer fries, cheddar cheese sauce, cheddar cheese curds, apple wood smoked bacon and minced chives. Next up were the Sisig Fries which consisted of sisig marinated chicken, Fresno chiles, fried yams, sriracha cilantro crema over fries. While I was in line for the Elote Nuggets, I took a short video so you could see the Food Fest. These were my favorite! Elote Nuggets consisting of corn nuggets, queso cotija, cayenne mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Fish and Chips from London! Batt...

On Saturday, April 14, 2019, my friend and I drove down to Fallbrook for the Avocado Festival. I had no idea what to expect since I had never been. The first thing we did upon arrival is scope out all of the artisans and their wares. We found a lady that made awesome jewelry using the seeds from fruits. My friend bought several pairs of errangs, all made from the avocado seed! I think they are awesome. Aren't they neat? I bought some too but mine are not made from an avocado seed. I feel really bad but I could not understand the lady when she was telling me what seed she used. I asked her to repeat herself four times and by that time, I was just too embarrassed to ask again! But I love the earrings so I bought them! After we made our purchases we began waling around and I spotted these wind chimes made from bullet casings. (I think!) Next stop - FOOD! I had a Gyro. It was a delicious combo of beef and lamb with veggies and cream. So yummy. But very mess...

Have you ever been evacuated from an attraction at Disneyland or DCA? It doesn't happen often but when it does, it's exciting, LOL. I saw this video on YouTube and I was taken by surprise because I had never ever heard of an evacuation from the Submarine or Finding Nemo ride. While it's not very exciting, it is interesting to see how the evacuation is done. That got me thinking about my own evacuations so I will be recording a series of stories about those evacuations on my podcast, Not Strictly Disney. The first story about the PeopleMover is out now. I hope you check it out. In the meantime, enjoy this video.

The Date:  4-4-19 The Time:  1:30 p.m. The Reason:  Things slowed down dramatically at work. Rather than go home, my friend Laura and I decided to go to the Parks and I'm so glad we did! Since it is still spring break season, the crowds were there but it wasn't unbearable. We started our visit at Tongaroa Terrace because Laura had never experienced a Dole Whip! Naturally, we got the spiked version. She thoroughly enjoyed it! Once we were done, we walked to the Monorail station to ride into Disneyland. I had an ulterior motive - I wanted to show Laura a little bit of Disneyland history so as we disembarked the Monorail, we walked towards the Matterhorn and I showed Laura the Three Fences and gave her a brief explanation as to why this area was special to Disneyland nerds like myself. I also recorded it for the latest episode of my podcast, Not Strictly Disney. Laura then mentioned that she has always wanted to wander through New Orleans Square a...

Feast you eyes on this page dedicated to Disney weddings. But have you heard of Disney funerals? Could this be a real thing?
