TXGuy Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) I was out again at probably my favorite place to go walking around. Quick business trip to Orlando. Quick trip for dinner to Downtown Disney, which may be Disney Springs now. Thousands of people. Hard to find parking in their huge parking garages...Food was pretty good at Maria & Enzo's. Easy to get a table when there is only one. Most people wanting reservations are in family groups of 3 or more. Wearing the same heels as last visit. There is a market there, but not much in the terms of high heels. Disappointing in that regard.. Edited March 8, 2019 by TXGuy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1ng74 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Nice to see this thread bumped, and that you have been heeling for years now. I’m relatively new but I think we’ve been heeling in the same neck of the woods... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXGuy Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Pushed myself a bit farther on the trip home. I’ve been wearing Clarks light brown leather booties on the plane lately. I guess they can go both ways, they have a 1.5 inch heel. Anyone who would look would know they are women’s. After my trip out last night, I was feeling a bit more daring. I was thinking over night to wear my Clark’s Mission Alfa booties on the plane ride back. Technically, they are supposed to be 2.5 inches, but my ruler measures 3. I never thought I would wear heels that high on a plane ride, go through security, sit next to people for 3 hours. But this morning I just thought go for it. I have to do it. Everything else was packed away and checked luggage. I figured once I left the hotel wearing the Alfa, there was no turning back. I would have to wear them everywhere for the next 5/6 hours. Felt great the whole way. I’m looking forward to the next trip. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get to the hotel, see if there was an opening to eat, immediately leave for Downtown Disney. Back, sleep. From the time the alarm went off at 4:00 AM, it was get going to the airport... Man, close to $300 for 10 hours in a hotel... Anyway, same shoes as in previous pictures above. Edited March 10, 2019 by TXGuy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a coincidence buddy....I too was in Orlando Thursday evening, staying right down the street from Disney at The Orlando Marriott. I took a walk in my Sam Edelman boots to Subway, had a sub and a smoke. Too many kids in the hotel I was at, but I guess that is to be expected....

You know, I thought about messaging you to see if you would be in town. The issue with my travels is that they are at the mercy of the customer to a certain extent and I can’t plan to much. If my time at the customer had run to 6PM on Thursday, I would have gotten to the hotel later (working 2 hrs outside Orlando...) and probably would have just gotten some take out. Probably should have. The fridge in the room went bonkers a little after midnight, wasted an hour dealing with that. An employee and I took it out to the hallway. Then I couldn’t get back to sleep worrying about getting up at 4:30 to catch my flight.. This is also one of the few trips lately where I was on my own. Been running a team lately, who do not know about the heels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you had fun, hope our schedules will intersect someday....D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
