Trip Report - Saying Goodbye and Giving Thanks

[wpyogi]

keep it coming - good stuff!

Thanks for reading, Seveen. I'm going to get this thing finished now.

Then you really did eat all my favorites.....well done! Glad I could help

I am so jealous...please eat your favorites soon for me!

That last pic over at Canoe is quite awesome. The colors, clouds and wata - unforgetable.

Love that way you roll for sure, the windy video is great.

Thanks again, bjritz! Counting down the months until I can roll again, lol.

I agree with Bjritz, that last pic is really beautiful!
Loving all the pictures, videos and stories in this trip report. I feel like I'm right there with you guys!

Means a lot Miss TR Queen

Great report wpyogi!!! The domino playing night at Eddie's - perfect! Also love that you guys went on the bar crawl regardless of the storm!
"Death Ladder" makes me laugh, I fell down that sucker once - bat in the room - it's physically impossible to run down the ladder, lmao!
So glad the storm didn't hit hard, what an experience though!
Can't wait to see you guys in April!!!!

LOL, running down the death ladder from a bat?! OMG, I am glad you still have your teeth and/or didn't suffer any broken-ness!! April is gonna be great, muhhhahhahaha...

Something has been looming over my head...oh yeah, this freaking TR!! I am officially finishing what I started. Now. I gotta warn you though, it's going to be uneventful...

I toss and turn all night. Call it too many carbs. Call it churning belly because I haven't had enough rum today. Call it i am dreading the trip to MoBay. Call it nervous traveler. Call it Sandy's aftermath. The wind was wicked all night. The seas grew massive, and we could hear it all happening. When the wind would whip up, it would knock coconuts out of the trees....BANG!!...on the roof of Gemini II. (ok, maybe they weren't coconuts, but GD whatever it was it was LOUD!) I can't even count how many times I literally JUMPed out of bed. Toss and turn for what felt like hours before I fell back asleep, then BANG!! OH, and you know when you go into that dream state that seems so vivid, you don't know if you are actually asleep? Well I began to think someone slipped me a hit of acid...I was seriously hallucinating!

We roll out of bed around 7am, groggy and grumpy! Sweet Carol comes to the back door and lets us know that they will be providing room service for breakfast because Ivans is closed due to the seas really picking up. (ok, i wasn't hallucinating that part, whew!) We ask her for a couple of cups of coffee and step outside to take some pictures. Yes, the waves are crashing over Ivans roof!

After a shower and the famous stuffed johnny cakes, we crash on the bed and watch RETV until Chicken comes. I am checking the clock every five minutes. Seriously, I am not the crazed traveler...it's gotta be the aliens trying to break into my room last night.

Krusty Crab joined us in the shower.



Chicken picks us up right on time and we begin the journey. You all know what it's like...i don't have to go there.

A few snap shots from the car...





Well that's all folks. As Chicken says, "You are one day closer to your next trip". We learned a lot on this trip about ourselves, met some new friends, spent time with old friends, and said our goodbyes to some 4 legged friends. Looking forward to the next time One Love.

Clap Clap..... Nice work Wpyogi in so many ways. The last pic with your reflection in the glass is killer by the way. And when it comes to the last day I myself am a beotch. I freaking hate the last day and what comes with the wakening of the next day. Somber is an understatement as our time there is so carefree and just wonderful. No worries, no alarm clocks, no Blackberry going off all day every day till you go to sleep. Nope, just great food, great people, great drink, great everything. I really loved your trip report and how you and +1 roll. I knew 2 seconds after I met you guys that your were the cool kids on campus. Really looking forward to April and all that will come with it.. Thanks for sharing.

I couldn't have said it better, Boogs. Having to set an alarm on that last night is torture! I laugh when I think about what Chicken sees everyday with his job. He picks up the slap happy-let's go crazy-can't stop talking-tourist from the airport and then returns with the somber-i'm not saying a word-this drive sucks-tourist. Talk about 2 major extremes, and he has to roll with it!

Hahahaha, if I had my way I would book a flight and be outta here tomorrow! If you think about, December is a wash. So busy with kids and Christmas and keeping up with all the other boardies that will be descending on the rock. April is a wash because we are going to be so freaking excited time will fly by. Really all we have to get through is January, February and March. And I know there will be some great New Year's trip reports for a crutch. So really, I'm thinking of it as only 3 months. YEAH! Soon come!!!

Oh and I came across a really sick flight deal today with a significant layover in Vegas! (LOL, we would probably miss the flight out) But it would extend our trip to 13 nights. I'm thinking I would wear out all of my grammy favors with that one...
