After Trip Summary and Photos

We took Greyhound to Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida for Thanksgiving—my first solo trip, close to home and familiar territory. Since I can't drive or fly for medical reasons, Greyhound was ideal, and the ride was pleasant with helpful people. The Doubletree, a Disney resort, provided shuttle service and exceptional staff.

We had meals at House of Blues, Splitsville, The Edison, and Paddlefish, shopped, and enjoyed Cirque du Soleil. Baxter and I spent Thanksgiving at the hotel, joining festivities like a pet parade, cookie decorating, and a wonderful meal.

This experience boosted my confidence to travel again. Next, we're heading West via Amtrak. With my website and blog up, stay tuned for Baxter’s Adventures and My Story: Go West Widow, coming late April.
