OK, where were we? Ah yes. In Jackson Hole, Wyoming on our Adventures by Disney: Quest For the West trip. We spent our final night at the Wort Hotel, right in the heart of Jackson. I loved this hotel – with its wicked manly, carved tree-trunk beds, super powerful air conditioning, taxidermy everywhere and very [...]
I was up early and ready to go because I knew what awaited us today: some theater, exploring Jackson Hole and whitewater rafting. But that’s not why I was wide awake at 6 a.m. I knew that as soon as the Silver Dollar Grill was open, I’d have my second chance at biscuits and wild [...]
During our trip to Jackson Hole, Yellowstone and Brooks Lake Lodge with Adventures by Disney, we saw incredible views of huge mountain ranges that just shot right up off the face of the earth. No foothills, no warning, just BOOM. Mountain. Right there in front of you. I’m not sure if photos could ever do [...]

We’re here. The flight from Boston was fairly uneventful, with one connection in Chicago. Note: Chicago, you have an insanely busy airport. After a little “Gate Dancing,” we were on our way. The flight from Chicago to Jackson was fairly empty, and two hours later we were looking down at mountains. The landing into Jackson [...]
Believe it or not, we’re getting on a flight tomorrow that will not land at MCO. We’re going away and it’s not to Walt Disney World. It’s a very strange feeling. I’m not joking – it feels very odd to be going somewhere other than WDW as we prepare to travel. Since Amy and I [...]
