I’m back in Orlando after a two-fer bucket list trip.<\/p>\n

The other reasons being I still need to fact check a few names and places and I didn’t have time to sort through my voluminous 3800+ photos to best accompany the written words. Even now, I’m daunted by that task of collating and curating the images that can best tell the stories and convey at least in part the emotions of the journey. But I’m trying…<\/p>\n

They did for me.<\/p>\n So let’s begin at the beginning then, yes?<\/p>\n
