as with any griffin family vacation, what can go wrong will go wrong. "hope for the best and expect the worst" is our motto when it comes to traveling.

instead of driving 10 hours to florida we opted to fly. an hour and a half flight is no big deal, right? sure, until it decides to snow everywhere and cause flight delays. on the way to florida our flight was delayed three hours. that sucked, but we survived and went on the have a great time at disney world with no problems.

ultimately, disney world consists of:
-long lines
-screaming children
-expensive souvenirs
-a lot of plastic
-unused recycling bins
-rides that are awesome,
but not worth waiting an hour
-mish mash of foreign languages
-asians with large cameras
-creepy people in costumes
-parades that block traffic
-grown adults with cartoon characters plastered all over them
-parents who think their child and stroller are more important than not running over your foot

essentially everyone who goes to disney world sells their soul to mickey mouse. you pretty much have to with how expensive the tickets are.

but alas, the travel gods weren't done with us yet. on tuesday our flight home was scheduled to leave at 7:50pm. so as most people do, we got there early to get through security, etc.

our plane didn't leave until 1:50am on wednesday. we sat in the airport for about 8 hours.
