Vacation

Hey all,
As a graduating senior I just completed my last spring break before heading off to the adult world. So, while my friends went on cruises to the Bahamas, New York City, and the ever popular Orlando Florida, I opted to get my teeth pulled (my four wisdom teeth).

Things I learned from this trip at home with my mother is:
A) I don't want to live at home after college
B) Vicadin is a WONDERFUL drug (no I am not an addict, I left the pills at home)
C) there is no such thing as quality television anymore with all of these reality shows mucking up the networks.

In any case though, I reflected on my past spring breaks. My first was a trip to LA on a Jewish convention where I met Full House's Bob Sagat and discovered that he is terribly un funny. They also closed down Universal Studios and opened it to us for free! and gave us free food! Righteous

Sophomore year I went to Virginia Beach with my now ex and two other friends and it was disastrous. First, it was very cold. Second, my ex (who turned out to be psychotic) had us stop at a gas station after she had gotten upset with me, took the directions to our destination and left with the other driver. She called me two hours later when she was done "being angry" to give me the directions! Also, when Williard is the highlight of your break, you know it was awful. We did go to one of the live action haunted houses where actors leap out of walls at you, those things truly scare me.

Also, the four of us went to a seafood place where we received the second worst service of my life. However, i realize that waitresses make their living off of tips and had I had c`ash, would have tipped her. Unfortunately I didnt, and my friend plopped a five on the table (20 percent of the bill). The two girls took the five dollars, split it between them (each girl got 2.50 and walked out haveing stolen his money, sometimes there is no rationalizing with angry women).

My third spring break I did volunteer work in Columbus. I worked at a center for kids who had been abused either mentally or physically and it was an eye opening experience. I met 16 year old pregnant whores and one 11 year old whose parents were both killed in a drug raid. It was truly awful. However, I thoroughly enjoyed Columbus, the zoo was the greatest I have seen, and they sold waffles on a stick (what a great idea). I also ate the worst ice cream of my life there.


So, what are some of your most memorable vacations.

In schooI I saved my pennies (almost literally) to go try out for Jeopardy over spring break ( a dream of mine).  Then I blew my knee playing soccer and ended up spending the whole thing in bed with knee surgery.  Becuase I couldn't work, there went my saved cash.

The most memorable (and fun) vacation that I can recall was the year that I left my first wife. I was suddenly free from all the horror and was ready to enjoy myself. I went to the Jersey shore for a few days and spent almost the entire time drinking beer and deep sea fishing for Bluefish. I would get up in the morning, get on the first boat and fish and drink (not in that order). The boat would come in and I would go back to my hotel (walking distance, you couldn't beat it!) and clean up. Go back to the boat and go out on the next run, fish and drink and come back to land. Then I got back on the boat for the "all night" Blue run (which was really only until 2am). It sounds stupid but I really did love to go deep sea fishing and was unable to do so while married to that worthless turd. Now I have normal family vacations with my wife and daughter but I'll always remember that one mainly because it was a new beginning for me.

At the end of high school was one of the best vacations for me.  So far at least. Me and about 10 friends hired a house down the coast and partied it up for a week.  Since there were heaps of other school leavers around, and there were events organised at the beach, it was truly excellent.  Lots of alchohol [as one would expect] and just a lot of good feeling from everyone all round.  You would talk to people you had never before and share a drink as if you were the best of buddies, and people would always be saying hello and generally spreading goodwill.  Hopefully this wasn't linked to the alchohol I mentioned :-P

The first thing I heard when I arrived was "watch out for the vomit" [I arrived a day later than most of them] and we got kicked out of the house twice [well they tried to kick us out but couldn't.]

You see, the person we rented the house from was renting it from a real estate agency, and sublet it to us without telling the agency [apparently this is dishonest and bad!] and by coincidence the agency sent someone to the house to check it out for a 6-monthly inspection and found a heap of teens laying around the loungeroom [there wasn't enough beds so most of us slept on couches and the floor.]

So the agency called the lady we rented it off, and she called us, telling us it was the owner, and that they wanted us out, hoping we wouldn't put up a fight and tell the real estate agency how dodgy she was being.  But we managed to convince the agency to let us stay.  Later on the lady tried to kick us out again, and threatened to go to the police, so we went to the police, who told the lady to just leave us be, since she was the one doing the illegal stuff.  If the agency wanted to, I think they could have taken her to court and charged her $10,000 for fraud or something, but we didn't hear anything about it.

Overall it was an eye-opening, very fun experience, where you are faced with a complete freedom for one of the first times in your life.  As in you are both old enough to do anything, including pubs/clubs/cigarrettes and alcohol [not that these things were impossible to do before hand!] no responsibilities or voices of reason and just a week of carefree, lazying about!

A memories be sweet.
