It might of been on the list of pros/cons...
I don't remember if he noticed but I told him anyway - sort of like if I'm not in a good mood here's why
But I'm glad it all worked out.
They are very similar - I think the Hollywood one is a touch smaller and I just didn't get the same true immersive feeling as the one in Orlando.
Huh. Okay, had no idea.
It was still the old version when I was there. I believe the new one is heavy on using screens in the indoor portion. The old one had the coolest feature where the jeep fell over the side of the wall as the boat when past and I believe that is out and it makes me so sad.
Hmmm... I don't remember that.
The next morning was my last one in the states – I was flying out at 10:30pm that night.
Made extra hard because you were leaving your guy behind...
and did another backlot tour (because I mean of course I had to).
Of course!
I had lunch at Krusty Burger.
We did that too. I thought it wasn't bad for a theme park burger.
While sitting there and thinking of ways I could see DH again I applied for a Canadian work visa. I had been thinking about it anyway before I met him, but it made even more sense now as I would be more likely to be able to visit him.
Interesting that you applied for a Canadian visa and not US. I presume it's because we're both Commonwealth countries that the application would be much simpler/easier? And for proximity?
I ate some French fries for dinner
Ah! So now I know what marathon runners eat for dinner.
I checked in and thankfully because I was flying business class, I had access to the lounge before my flight.
Nice.
I still love business for the bed aspect (who wouldn’t) and that helped the time go by.
I'd love to have that for a pond jump. Haven't yet... but I can still dream.
It was a three-hour bus ride and then a 30-minute taxi home, but I still made it back with a few hours to spare than the flight would have taken.
Really! Wow. That's interesting. I know there's a debate about flying vs driving and what the cut-off time is to make one more efficient than the other... but a 3.5 hour journey being faster than a flight... !!
And that was it I was home.
Welcome home?
I’d had a great trip, but I was emotionally done. It’s really hard to meet someone who you think could be it and then have to leave them and not know what the future would bring.
I tried to enjoy everything I did but sometimes I didn’t care, and I would have rather spent the time being with him (gee thanks DH
)
Wow. What a jerk! And you married this killjoy???
MVMCP (even though I’m going again in a few days)
Interesting... I think I'd have the exact same reaction.
MVMCP? Not worth it. Go again? Sure.
My DH and I decided to give long distance a try.
It. Is. Really. Hard.
I have heard that most long distance relationships don't work out. Glad it did for you. (And became an in person relationship.)
I came over and visited him after he moved to Denver in March 2017. We decided we didn’t want to be apart and he proposed.
Awwww!!!
We went through the fun visa process
I've heard of the process... ugh...
I packed up my whole life in Australia – quit my job, sold my house and all my belongings and shipped a few things over to Denver (I managed to condense my entire life into two suitcases and 8 small shipping boxes).
Wow. That's... really intense!
I got my first green card in June 2018 and I’ll be here for a while now (assuming my renewal goes well in June 2020 – fingers crossed).
Oh! So no citizenship then. And... you have to renew???? Even though you're married???
I knew, of course, but... congrats!
and I now work for the Colorado State Government.
Nice!
I hope you enjoyed this TR
Very much! Thanks so much for sharing your travels and travails with us!
(my trip dates are 11/6-11/12).
Oh, crap! That's today! Have a great trip!!!!!!
