Back to Reality

So 6 days after it began, my vacation across the country has ended. I currently write from the Dallas-Fort Worth International airport while waiting for our plane to get fixed (starter flow valve something or other?). My time in Florida was amazing except for the heat/humidity and drowning my phone in Gumby’s pool. We went bowling (got a 141 on the first game in months) and decided I wanna join a league. Just because. A relaxing evening at Logan’s place gave way to an action packed Thursday. Kickball was first up bright and early at 9am, and it got quite intense really quick. Even though it was hot, I tweaked my hip flexor while sliding, and I almost destroyed another phone, everyone had a great time.

A trip to the pool was in store next, and this involved beaching ourselves on the “shore.” Good news for a guy who doesn’t really like water haha.

Things took a turn for the worst when the great people at that amazing community college in Fort Collins finally answered their phones and answered my questions. Turns out my loan for summer courses wasn’t received in time and I was dropped from the full summer course load I was actually looking forward to. This is all after leaving 4 messages and emails and calling about 20 times in the past 3 weeks in an effort to tell them what is/was going on. I’m waitlisted again with little hope that I will actually get in.

From there, I finally got to check out downtown West Palm Beach and, ultimately, the Atlantic Ocean. I’ll say this right now: The Atlantic is hundred times better than the Pacific. Unlike cloudy, chilly San Diego beaches, WPB beaches were perfectly sunny and like bath water. It was a great change of pace, not to mention we drove a sports car to get there.

We took one last spin the in U Haul truck we called home for 2300 miles while we moved some furniture, and then had some amazing home cooked gourmet style food before heading off to Karaoke night at Gypsy Horse where we shot pool and just had a great time. Heading back to Logan’s around 2am, Gumby and I devoured whatever chunk of meat was sitting on the stove. From there, I learned that birds (the same one that chewed the cabinets) can also roll over and play dead. It was an amazing thing haha.

I'm so much better than these two posers. lol

At 3AM, we realized it was probably a good idea to sleep, seeing how we had to be up in 3 hours. And now here I am sitting, waiting, for the plane to get fixed.

Vacationing across the country with the ultimate destination of South Florida may have been the best idea we ever had. While bittersweet, I am definitely glad everything happened the way it did, and I really do wanna head back Florida sometime soon. I swear, if it snows when I get back to Fort Collins in a few hours, I may move.

Goodbye Home, sweet home...

I guess that’s it for this trip. And with all the extra free time I may be having, I guess that makes for more adventure time that may give me something to write about; maybe another severed arm or marathon will have to suffice.

*Just landed in Denver after a 2 hour delay. Off to Foco and then work for the evening. Oh boy.

**Off work, done getting food. Time to veg’ out for the night. I can’t find my camera cable, so pictures will not be up for a while.
