This year I got a chance to attend Pokemon GoFest in Chicago. Not only am I from that city originally, but I had reasons to visit family. I had an action packed weekend and got a second vacation soon after the first. But before I could attend the event, I had to get to Chicago. And while a majority of
Day 1 of Chicago GoFest had me excited enough that I had trouble sleeping. After how much fun I had during the Miami Safari Zone, I couldn’t contain my excitement at the idea of going to an event that I had been told repeatedly was significantly bigger.

With the weather being perfect, I got a chance to go on another adventure in Lake Mary, Florida. This park seemed intriguing given what the thumbnail photo was on google when I found this park.

Megacon 2026 Day 4 is the shortest day of the event. And it was even shorter for me. Partially I was feeling burnout from being active the other three days, but mostly it was because I needed to get my brother and his friend to the airport. This didn’t end up being a problem though.

After an action packed day 2, I returned for Megacon 2026 Day 3. What did I do to follow up on such an incredible day? I hyper focused on the few things that I hadn’t done yet. There were some downsides to this though as you will see in a moment. I’ll talk about what I did focus on in
