Day Oh, Day aaaaaaa oooooo......

Well the time is near where we are Otta Here!! yep time for that tried and true tradition of the "Family Vacation" We are off to parts down under and have loaded up on the latest miracle cures, insect repellents, been poked, prodded, injected, inspected and probably rejected!!!! but no worries we are off to vacate the homestead and fly away to the jungle.

So why is it that its sooo much work getting ready to go relax??

Why do we have to go out and buy new clothes to go get dirty in the rainforest?

Why is my luggage so heavy

All I wanted is a little R andR and some prompt room service. Actually I cut a deal with the wife I get to lay out on the veranda and read my books sip some mint juleps and she can go where ever she wants hike all the way up to the tip of the highest mountain or swim in the closest lake I don't care I just want to relax.
Now the clowns they are another matter, you see the generation gap has definitely grown in our family and we, the parents, are on the other side. Here again I brokered a deal. They get to go anywhere and do whatever they want so long as they don't run afoul with the locals, law enforcement, Religious leaders, or me.

So the Ipods are loaded, Batteries are charged, the laptop is packed, my ATM card is ready and my cell phone is set to international roaming. Christ do I really need this stuff? Wasn't travel much simpler in the old days? Heck Travelers checks are not even used anymore, too easy to counterfeit.

Now all we need to do is wait for the taxi and were off........Hmmmm....... Are we there yet??
