Re: The lead up to the 1980 Trip To Memory Lane!
We have our tickets and saved seats, now to fine tune the adventure because I know it’s more then a vac by now, I am somewhat seasoned.
John tell me to look in on the couple that live just a yard or 2 down the road from Daisy’s it’s a new little yellow house can’t miss it, he can get hash oil, cheap, I tell my friend Martin about it and he throws some money in the pot if it good.
We are packed with a bunch of stuff for Franklin and Daisy towels bed sheets for the new house, those things are expense down there and a few tee shirts for Franklin and a half a dozen jars of Oil Of Olay for Daisy she love it for her face. There are fins and mask for them and a bunch of sun glass to trade and barter with, even a few gold chains not heavy bling but enough to show you you are a guy who knew a guy, 2 large suitcase packed.
I had to work until 2 got home and my new girlfriend has her car packed an gassed for the drive to Miami. She is from Hatteras and work in the family restaurant business in the summer and on unemployment in the winter, word out great for her and she is a bit of a wild child, and she has gotten some white aprons and red chief hats for everyone at the Rocky Del.
We are on the road and swallow a black beauty and speeding away we go.
We have radar detector on the dash and are eat up some road, no problems mon.
We get to Miami in record time it about 5:30 am get on the Palmetto Express towards the airport and get off a few exits early to get to my friend and his wife’s apartment, we get them up an it about 6:30 now sitting around in their living room and having a smoke and the light goes off we are really early maybe we can fly out today. I call AJA and get hear it comes “No Problem Mon”.
Lizzie said we could park in the Delta employee parked lot and Joey can pick your car up when I have to fly out this afternoon, she is a stew for you that are not that old they are called fight attendances I so like the old was.
At 11:00 am we are in that bird flying south.
We landed and everything is like I remember it the blast of of hot air and the sweet smell of sea air and jet fuel, the terminal looks like it may be a bit longer with some fresh paint, but it’s still a long open shed roof structure, walking on the tarmac I see a line of black limos driving out and look on the other side of our plane there sits a black B-727 with a big white bunny tail on its tail, Huge has come to town. The cars stop and down he comes with bunnies on each arm and a trial of them following, I could not tell if he was in he pajamas or not.
We find the rum punch and head out to find a ride, no more rental car.
There a white van with a sign on the windshield Negril, can we get a ride no problem mon,
When it’s full in like 5 minutes we are off, no soon come and I am glade.
He stops a small store on the side of the road just out of Mobay are everyone get some beer and a big one to smoke and boy did we.
