Daniel’s Trip report that is a comedy of errors.

Paul’s Trip Report and Star Tours Review

 

Paul's Tip of the week:

This may look cute, but Paul is being driven to the edge of his sanity, taking the 8th picture of them with the 4th camera.  

Never take advantage of the unspoken obligation for strangers to courteously take group photos. You teens may think it's funny to keep handing a nice guy one camera after another, after another, but it's just rude. ONE camera per group; two max, people! 

 

Official Tip of the week:

@Tommypix tell us where we can park it.

 

May the Force be with you!
