Back to Reality

Thursday, April 17, 2025 Well, the Disney magic had come to an end—no more time travel, galactic spaceships, high-speed roller coasters, or bursts of imagination around every corner. Now, it was back to reality, powered not by magic but by diesel fuel propelling our RV along the well-worn lanes of
