Tiger Wasteland

Back at home after a mini spring break vacation to Ft. Lauderdale! Where to start? Left right after work on Tuesday and loaded the vehicle and hit the road.

Bro-in-Law and Sis in the front seat. The Twins (separated by their Play Station) in the middle seat. And yours truly in the back row seat with my pillow and blanket. Got to Valdosta, GA about 11:00pm and spent the night in a very scary (according to KyFace) motel room. It was the third motel that we found after the first two had scared us away with the superstitious ghost cat crossing our paths as we drove into the parking lots. Ask Sis about this!!

Got up the next morning and headed to Florida. Gorgeous sunny skies and palm trees along the way. Made our way to Port Canaveral to stop off for lunch with some good friends, the BarWheels. Had lunch right on the water at a local marina grill. Good food and fellowship.

Then off the rest of the way to Petah’s condo. Arrived around 7PM and the festivities began. Kids to the pool, unpacking the car and a light dinner and cocktails and then we went out to the Bar. Sis, Bro-In-Law, Petah and myself had a blast and met some kewl peeps.

Next day was spent at the beach and I got a bit too red even while wearing sunscreen. Oh yeah, Sis picked us up some cute eye candy on the beach too.

After a bit of rest, the next day was spent by the condo pool and then we had burgers and hot dogs. Later we went back out clubbing and stayed a bit too late and drank a wee bit much.

Saturday was spent with Bro-In-Law’s cousin and his lovely wife in Miami at their condo on Biscayne Bay. Mr and Mrs Fisherman were gracious hosts and lots of fun and laughter were had by all. Uncle J showed up later. The twins got to catch some fish and go on a boat ride on the Basura Blanca (that’s Spanish for White Trash) and we ate fish and shrimp all prepared by the lovely Mrs. Fisherman. We did manage to escape unharmed from a toxic rash and a small towel fire which made for mucho excitement. Then back to Petah’s condo to pack for the long Sunday drive home.

I am sure that I forgot some things but oh well! I will let others fill in the blanks.

Ciao!

PS: Pics will be coming soon, stay tuned!
