More about Alfred's in the next post..that was one crazy night that ended up at Scrub a Dub!

I'm trying to get the pictures to come though bigger but I'm not sure how. I am resizing them in another program and just attaching them resized at 350 pixels....ugh! I will try to figure it out later unless someone has any suggestions? Maybe a better resizing program? I'm using AVS Image Converter but it's a PIA.

Hey rastagal, enjoying your adventure with your guests, lol. Keep on posting on this thread that way it's all on one place.

BTW, do they have in room safe's at HP?

[rastagal]

Yes they do have safe's. I know I realized after the last thread I shouldn't have just posted it as Day 1 because then I have to continue Day 2 on a different one..Oh well.

hope you can figure out how to make the pics bigger--loving seeing glimpses of your trip--but can't see too much Funny how you got all the stand-ins for the photo, the JA guys want in on the action.

Day 2 Continued

So we mingle for a bit and then I see someone I haven’t seen in YEARS!!!!! It’s always exciting to see an old friend and catch up on things. I look over and see Bobbie and Lisa surrounded by a group of guys so I go over to make sure everything is OK. These guys are from England and are just having some fun. Funny guys. I’m Not sure how the conversation turned in this direction but I somehow got myself involved in a bet on who would win a Daggering competition between myself and the English guy wearing soccer shorts and sneakers! HAHAHA! So as we try to round up our ride to Scrub a Dub a likkle fuss ensues. The driver the English guys are dealing with wants to charge way too much..I tell him no and he get’s pissed off at me for ruining his business….but we had a ride with friends so why would we pay for a ride? Turns out there are too many people for the one car so I reluctantly hop on the back of my friend’s bike and ride up to Scrub a Dub with him. White knuckles and all. It was NOT a scooter…I’m just glad I made it there alive and well! LOL. It was fun though!

So we get there first and wait for the others. When the girls arrive I go over to meet them and Bobbie tells me that one of the guys in the car she rode in is somewhat “sad” that I did not ride with them. (sigh). Now this is one of the things I try to avoid. I like to be friendly with everyone but I try really hard not to give anyone the wrong idea. I am in no way, shape or form looking for a relationship, or marriage, or a “special friend” while on my vacation. Now this guy is super nice but it’s not like that. So I hop in the car and have a chat with him. We laugh and joke and all seems good so then we are ready for Scrub a Dub. Turns out the only ones actually going in is us girls..none of the guys want to go. Oh well, that’s fine with me.

So Bobbie and Lisa go ahead of me because they are in a race to the bathroom, and I get stuck at the door getting interrogated by security. And I don’t mean interrogated as in the business sense..I mean a “what’s your name and number “ type of interrogated. So 10 minutes later I finally get in…Geez! It seems like any other club except for the dancers in the center dancing around some poles. We head upstairs where the DJ is and chill out there. Now Lisa looks really uptight at this point and just sit’s down. Bobbie and I dance and chit chat with the DJ and request some songs….there are no pictures from this particular club and that’s probably best for everyone involved. All I know is I had bruises the next day that all I could do was laugh about. We will be talking about that event for a WHILE!

Next up....New Years Eve at Seastar with LUCIANO!!!! Best night of my life hands down.
