Week # 28 may be a continuation of this trip?????


MOFF,
if worse comes to worse we may just take the train to your place
tomorrow..... Tubby and Peanuts mom haven't checked in....


GINI,

I was thinking about your chicken soup in the lobster tanks last night......I'm sure that I took my dip before you emptied it out.....

at least I hope that's what happened.....

[tatsxxx11]

Welcome home, ladies! Hope you scooped up lots of treasures, Slick! Lynne, you must be pooped. How about a cup of tea? Real brewed tea..like in a teapot! (A rarity here hn the States!) I have Earl Grey, Darjeeling and English Breakfast. Slick, how bout you? I think I'll mix up a batch of Cosmpolitans Everything's ready to go! How about a soak in the hot tub while we wait for the gang?

Merlin and I are back decided a nice long walk on the beach sounded best.I sure miss the salty air. Jamaca sounds good and warm. Called home and it hailed last night too bad I missed it. HAHA What time are we landing (after Jamaca of course) so I can get a rid home. I guess they are missing me, daughter says we are now a week behind on the wedding planning. Elope already, sheesh!!! Just kidding but every day something is supposed to be done according to the soft ware program she got. I so glad I'm not working right now.

Don't quit your day job Richard You may be able to write poetry, but sing???? Here, have another drink.

Ooops, never bite the hand that provides you with spirits.....sorry, just couldn't help myself.

And Sandra, I wan't here but I heard that you tried to belt out a tune or two. How about an encore??

My it is getting dark. Does this mean another sleepover??? Yeah!!!!

Question: how many PT'ers and pets can fit in one flophouse??

[tatsxxx11]

THERE you are, Richard! Went for a dip, huh?? You must be part polar bear! Yikes! Where'd the pane go?? Well, anytime you guys wanna eat, it's ready! But bring your sweatshrits, it's chilly! BTW...My name is Sandra (and no, I'm not an alcoholic) but, I will be your server this evening...Belly up to the raw bar for some little necks, oysters and steamers and for the faint of heart, shrimp cocktails.
And we also have some hot chowdah in the pot to chase off that chill. Would you like a few more minutes to make your selections??

Yay, another sleepover! You guys know the drill and I actually MADE YOUR BEDS for you all and you'll find complimentary thin mints on your pillows! For my encore, Slick, I'll sing you all a bit of Brahms's Lullabye..

Ok, I've brought the food up to the bunk house...too cold and dark down on the beach and those pesky gnats!!!

So here's your evening repast...help yourselves and enjoy!

Steamed, stuffed lobsters with melted butter
Corn on the Cob
Baked potatoes
Grilled sausages
Sliced sirloin steak
Caesar salad
Strawberry shortcake and for those of you who really wish to get into the New England spirit...Indian Pudding (like gooey pumpkin pie without the crust) and homemade vanilla ice cream. (Thank you Logan!)
Coffee/espresso/cappas/tea and complimentary cordials

And please, wear your bibs, no dribbling your butter and take out the trash!

(Richard, remember to take your toys out of the pool before you go to bed!! And Gini, I saw those flashlights!! No reading in bed after midnight. Lights out means lights out!)

[lynnestankard]

That Earl Grey was delicious Sandra - just hit the spot..................
Oh just looky at that lobster !! Lovely!

Hang on while get this napkin round my neck - yummy!

Did you get any bargains Slick? I love going through people's shopping - dead nosey that's me!

Anyone seen Logan? Did she go shopping too?

Did you say you went for a dip Richard? Just HOW cold was that!?? The hot tubs much more my line!

Lynne

[slick]

Sandra this spread is beyond words. You've worked really hard and your hospitality is greatly appreciated. Thank you, thank you soooo much and yes we'll leave the bunkhouse as clean as when we arrived.

I see all the shrimp cocktails have gone (Richard?????) so I'll just help myself to some lobster and salad. MMMMMM, as Martha says "It's a good thing", or I could quote Nigella but this is a family restaurant.

I think we are taking off pretty early tomorrow so how about a wake up call, say about 6am??? That will give everyone time to rise and shine and pack up.

Dead nosey, that's me

Hee, hee, that reminds me of the book Adrian Mole, from Minor to Major. All you Brits put "dead" in front of everything. Sorry, not making fun, it's just bringing back some memories for me. You're dead brilliant!.

It's like us Canadians. We put "eh" after everything. Dead brilliant, eh??

[tatsxxx11]

You're very welcome, ladies! 6am wake up call it is! And Lynne, my husband travels to England frequently. He came home after one trip and suddenly, everything was BRILLIANT! Kind of like our "cool," then "super," then "awesome"! lol!! Enjoy your dinner friends!


"Lullabye, and good night, la la la la, la la, la!!!"

(If let me know if anyone needs to borrow a teddy to snuggle with(no Richard, the stuffed kind; and NO, not that type of stuffed!)

Um, that could be a bit of a problem. The trains don't stop here. The closest you can get is Kansas City. The bus doesn't even stop here anymore. You would have to rent cars or a bus and drive down.

Everyone bundle up. The temp is dropping and our highs will only be in the 40s or lower 50s and windy so the city has banned bon fires.

Whoops, sorry 'bout that, it's so darn windy here Terry and I needed to keep all 4 hands on the steering wheel just to keep this big wind block on the road!

We got a little bit of a delayed start. Had a minor problem with the windshield. look closely at the windshield



But we're on our way! No drinks for us since we're driving, thank you very much.

[captain]

HEY, we Aussies are still waiting - what happened??? Where did you go?

Bag packed and everything ........ and now got Gini's dreaded lurgy (and didn't even see her yet!!!)

[mahayana]

I'm not sure where the Concorde is right now either! Was there no airstrip long enough on any of the RyuKyu Islands? Or pontoons for the fjord landing?

[gini]

We didn't miss Australia did we? How could we?

Shall we continue this trip for another week and be sure we don't miss any of the sights people want to see?

I am so full, all we do is eat and drink on these excursions.......but we missed Australia and New Zealand?

OMG, where is the pilot? Where is the plane?

Richard?????

did you pay your credit card?

[slick]

Shhhhh, it's ok Gini. We're all here sleeping in the flophouse. Hang on, I'll be right out.

**grunt** **steps over sleeping bodies**

That's better. How are you feeling?? Yes we missed Auzzie and New Zealand. Where have you been, in the pool for a dip?? You need to stay warm. Here's a blanket to wrap around you.

I don't know where the plane is but someone mentioned refueling. How about I fix us a nightcap and we can sit in these lawn chairs for a bit and talk. Everyone else is asleep I think, at least that's what the snoring tells me

Then we'd better get some sleep. That 6am wakeup call will come soon.
