After a thrilling game six 7-1 victory by the Oilers, Greg and I decided to go to Anaheim to watch game 7 in person. It was a blast.
We left Tuesday morning and arrived in Anaheim around 6 pm. I rented a car for $70 but on our arrival the attendant asked if we would consider an upgrade. For an extra $60 we could get a Mercedes or a Dodge Charger. I asked about a convertible. It was about $200 - we agreed and then when the paperwork was complete, it came out to $280 US with taxes etc. We declined and went with the Charger. We checked in at the Extended Stay America by the Honda Center and then went to meet Dan Barnes and Mark Spector at Paul's Cocktails - a dive bar they frequent when down here. We had a beer, but no one showed so we went back to the hotel and ate around there.
On Wednesday, we ent for breakfast and then to Disneyland. Greg had never been before and was like a kid in a candy store. We lined up for pictures with Donald Duck, Darth Vader and Chewbacca. We went on the Haunted House, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise and Tiki Room. We had a great day and then went for lunch in Downtown Disney.
We then went to JT Schmidt across from Honda Center and it was packed with Oiler fans. WE had a great time with a few beers. We went to the game and there were a lot of Oiler fans. In fact, GO OILERS GO was chanted throughout the building on several occasions. While the end result was not what we hoped, the experience was fantastic.
We left on Thursday morning and arrived home that night.
