Mega Trip: The Index

Welcome anyone coming in from Million Mile Secrets. Welcome anyone coming in from anywhere else, too, but you've probably been here before. This trip report is like a crash on the side of the highway involving two tiny cars full of clowns: it's amusing, it's awful and you wish you could look away or at least stop laughing because your significant other is judging you. Enjoy! I think I found my voice once the trip started, so those tend to be a bit more amusing (though maybe less informative) than the earlier stuff.

49. [Travel] Summarizing the Trip: The Final Post

So what can you expect in the pages that (hopefully) will follow? Not much. Because if there's one thing I know about myself it's that I hate writing. But I really want to force myself to do this right because there were so many trip reports that I benefited from when planning this vacation. Now that I have an adoring audience willing public a group of people I tricked into clicking on a link and reading this, surely I will feel ashamed enough to keep this up. We shall see!

When all is said and done the report will probably have at least 40 posts. Each post will be tagged, both in the index and elsewhere, with some indication of which audience it might be appropriate for. Since I expect the readership will be composed of friends and family, Disney fans, frequent flier fanatics and Chowhound readers, I will generally tag them with either [Disney] for Disney-related parts of the trip, [Travel] for air and hotel reviews, etc. Feel free to comment whenever you like. I promise to moderate them like I'm Kim Jong Un. Awww yeah, timely political commentary bonus.
