Uncle Gator's Kiawah Adventures

The expenses are starting to come to roost. We now have a customized shirt, all we have to do, is let 71 know what size, send her some cash, and we will be some clan sitting there on the beach!!!I see a nice family picture in our future! Last weekend 6 and 6A meet some friends and joined them at a concert at the local fire hall. I will start from the beginning. In the spring time 6 was doing his best to get a pre-Kiawah vacation lined up, by jumping in 7’s “fantasy” RV and head to Dover for the fire fly concert, it was going to be a 4 day event, with over 60 bands. 6 was really pushing this, 6 had commitments from 21, 21A, 4, 6A, 61,62,63,8,71,7A,32,33,34, and even 5, 5A, 51 and 52, were thinking about it was going to be a wonderful time could you just imagine that! In fact Imagine Dragon was going to be at the concert! Well if you go back and look at the list of names that committed, look real hard, and you will find that the grouchy old 7 was not on the list. Is it because h...

We are getting closer and closer as each day passes. The other day when I went out to my drive way to enter into my new ride, 6 felt as if he was taking his first steps towards the beach for the morning walk. When the front door opened all one could feel was the intense heat and humidity. Upon stepping out and gently closing the   door behind me,   as to not disturb other individuals who were sound sleep as well as not letting   the oppressive heat into the house. The sunglasses immediately fogged, and the droplets of perspiration began to form on my body. Gazing upward towards the heavens, one could sense the first glimpses of sunlight appearing through the clouds. All around you was the constant music emanating from the various forms of life waiting to start or end their day. 6 entered his ride, and started the leisurely dive to work, windows open as to get the full effect music provide by Mother Nature. Upon arrival, was greeted by a family for ducks, he then proc...

All you need to do is bring a checkbook, a debit card or the old stand-by cash, and the great and wonderful organizer will turn this old family vacation into shear bliss. How you ask……. well your bank account may be empty, but your mind will be filled with memories that will carry you the full year. 6 has given up hours of his leisure time, combing thru hundreds of documents in an effort to discover   the magic, that causes   thousands of weary souls to make the pilgrimage to the low country each year. Below you will find a sample of the events that take place each year that makes Kiawah the polished gem that it is. In other words: a place for people with more money than brains, who can call it a family vacation, but drop off their wife and kids, play golf, eat at up-scale establishments, take pictures of opulence, and never lift a finger. Below is just a sample of the extensive research that has been conducted. Moonlight Yoga on the Beach, Kiawah Beverage Series, Famil...

Down payments on condo are made, travel arrangements should be in the book, and so now we have to begin the thought process over the annual family picture on the beach! BTW I really don not think that 6A cares much about this picture, since she starts out strong, but there is never any execution.   Does it get any better? I was thinking the other day that since 6 is the great organizer, that I better get started on the ground rules, cooking schedule, daily mandatory fund activities, and most of all do a follow-up on people assignments. For example how is 61 doing family “wife beater” shirts? How is 32 doing on the John Lennon shades? All they have to do is drop a comment on the blog, and the rest of us will know! 6 has started looking into things, for example 6 made contact with   local photographer, and he has some slots available for the week that we are there, it is only going to cost us $250 for a two hour shoot, plus we get a free 8x10 printed shot, if we...
