February 2020 "Travel Disney" Exercise Challenge

[Elizabeth Smith]

Or for a more DIY trip, be like the Barrel Raft Boys--build your own raft, and sail the length of the river!

That would be more authentic to the story of Huck Finn! LOL

I'm adding 60 minutes each from Monday and yesterday. (I took Tuesday off from being productive, and that includes exercise, LOL).

Congratulations to Elizabeth Smith for turning Packing Pink!

For Brave (2012), Pixar's team packed up and traveled to Scotland for inspiration. Here's an article from Visit Scotland discussing some of the sites they visited, including Dunnottar Castle, the Calanais Standing Stones, and Glen Afric. And here's a suggested "Brave Trail."

So this month has been the worst for me in getting in time. DD and DH ended up sick this week and I was a bit sick to my stomach yesterday but thankfully don't think I was really sick. I think it was migraine. I started sick to my stomach in the am then around noon the headache came on and once I took mortin I started to feel better. SO my times these week are bad again. Really hoping all the sickness is gone now from our house.

Feb 18 -- 10
Feb 19 -- 20

Congratulations to me for turning Packing Pink, to Elizabeth Smith for turning Ready-To-Go Red, and to Twilight Sparkle for turning Getting Gone Green!

Today's movie is Moana (2016). Here's one article discussing the Polynesian islands that inspired the animators, and here's another. According to the first article, the team took four scouting trips (sounds good at this point in winter!).

I'd rather not do March because I'll be traveling, but I can volunteer for April - so whoever is thinking about hosting March, if it helps, you won't have to beg for someone to take over next.

Congratulations to PollyannaMom for turning Packing Pink, and to me and the TEAM for turning Ready-to-Go Red! Go team!

Today, let's look back to Europe. Third Man on the Mountain (1959) was based on a book (Banner in the Sky), which in turn was based on the real-life first ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865. The movie was filmed on location in Switzerland, with Zermatt being the model for the fictional town of Kurtai.

If you're possibly looking to get to Zermatt, here's a list of The 7 Most Epic Matterhorn Experiences. (Note that one of the experiences is a helicopter ride with Air Zermatt, which is the subject of a series called The Horn that I saw on Netflix.) And of course, if you can't get to Zermatt, there's always the Matterhorn at Disneyland!

I started a new job today. It's going to be hard to adjust to operating on other people's time again. BUT I am grateful to have gainful employment and it made my 30 minute exercise to myself more appreciable.

Ok I am going to bow out this month. It have been a pretty crappy month. I now have a viral sinus infection that has caused a ton of pain in my nose. The dr. did say it was inflamed too. It hurts just to take deep breaths. I am better int he morning and then by the afternoon I am much worse where advil and sudefed only help a little and seems to be wearing off after 3.5 hours. So not much moving for me right now.
