The travel plan
is somewhat different this year. This year 6 will not be packing the truckster to the gills
with beach paraphernalia, we are going to join the rest of the rich family
members over there on Melody lane, and fly the friendly skies! No 6 did not win
the “pig –in the- poke” and yes my bonus this year was the one year
subscription to the jelly of the month club, so 6 doesn’t want to hear it! I can’t wait for the stewardess to ask me
what I want to drink, and 6 will just sit back and say give me a coke, and
since airline travel is so luxurious now, she will ask if 6 would like it in
the can, and with a surprised look 6 will respond I’ll have it right here! Well
now that 6 thinks about it he will probably turn it down, since they charge you
a buck for the darn thing! Now what 6 did not realize was how much the rich
members of our group (32 aren’t you glad 6 changed his term this year) have to
spend to get to paradise! Don’t you –all worry, just because you all have moved
up to the east side, 6 still is in the north side, so any hep to defray the
cost would be much appreciated. 6 is going to borrow a empty coke can from the
other condo, place it on the kitchen table, and will be proud to accept any
donation you would like to give to defray the cost! Believe it or not the
generosity has already started, for example: it costs $25 bucks to check a bag,
and 6A wants to check her bag, so in great
form 7 said he would rent a u-haul and drive her luggage down to Kiawah, that
alone will save 6 $50 bucks! Now if 0,
4, 8, and 71 can each pack a chair or
two that takes care of the chairs! Now the other big expense is the car, but as
you might guess 6 has that figures out as well! Here is the plan for the car, 6
doesn’t need one! 8 has to go to the airport and pick up 0 and 7 late at night,
so all 8 has to do is go to the airport that afternoon pick us up, drop us off
at the hotel, spend a little time site seeing in the city. 6 will offer to buy
him a couple drinks at the managers reception at the hotel, then he can take us
out to dinner. After dinner and drinks he will just have enough time to go back
to the airport and pick them up. The next day around lunch time, 8 can come
back and pick us up take us to the Rex store, and just be in time to go back to
the airport to pick up 61. 8: 6 knows that you will not mind after all you are
going down a couple days early this year, so in reality you will have the same
amount of beach time as the rest of us! Ok that takes care of the chairs, the luggage,
and the car, the only thing left is the food. As one might expect 6 has an
answer to that hurdle as well! Here is the deal, when 4, 8 and 71 go food
shopping the first day, please stop at wall-mart and pick me out a couple
things… 5 cans of spaghetti sauce, 4 pounds of noodles, two large bags of meat
balls, a bag of salad, a bottle of salad dressing (of your choice) 200 yards of
rope, two pulleys, and a couple of nails, 6 thinks that will do it . Oh no 6
forgot, pick up a couple bottles of extra sun screen, and don’t forget 6’s
family prefers the spray on kind 50 spf or above and some good stuff for 6A, 61
and 62 to put on their faces. Now that I am thinking about it… 7 .. did you
make it to the Harley dealer to get us some new dew rags? 6 can’t forget his
sensitive bald head! 6 thinks he is all done now, that is the: car, chairs,
food, Rex, and the sun screen… has 6 forgot anything? 6 would like to thank all of my rich siblings
in advance for their support, for without you all pitching in, 6 would not have
a wonderful family vacation. Sure it might put you out a little bit, but just
think for the happiness you will bestow on your favorite brother/uncle/son and his
family!
Things the 6
needs to do prior to vacation: Update the ground rules we have several new ones.. Gentleman Jack on the
beach, passing breakfast and lunch to the 6 family condo (that is what the rope
is for), who is going to drive me to the store each day, who is going to drive
me to turtle to pick up my picture with Johnny Rodgers (6 would think that its
doe by now).. Expect and update list of ground rules next week!
Words of
Wisdom: Everything fades and returns to
the earth, family lives on forever as long as we don’t let go.
