Going for any occasion or just getting the hell out of dodge?
Just a little vacation. The house is owned by my wife's boss .... who generously allows us to stay there.
![upyeah [smilie=upyeah.gif]](./images/smilies/upyeah.gif)
Now THAT is a wonderful boss.
Good for you two. Enjoy!
Are you worried about Bonzo covering Intemperance Island while you're gone?

And her boss IS a great guy.
Not only does he let us use the house (which rents for big bucks), he also is co-owner of a business that does boat & jet ski tours.
Our first trip down there, he set us up on a jet ski tour to Stingray City. On our second trip, we got a personal boat tour .
This will be our third trip ..... no telling what we might get surprised with this time.

Maybe he booked a personal show by the Harem Sisters.
(yeah, I wish)
Well, it IS a 5 bedroom house. And we'll only be using 2 of them (my sister-in-law and hubby are joining us).
That leaves 3 open ..... so ..... who knows?

Okey dokey. We'll make sure there's room in the car trunk for you. (ask Ravi how that works).

I was driving ... and our camera was probably in the trunk.
The back seat occupants were too busy trying to balance their beer.

The lingering question is .... was the beernado spinning clockwise or counterclockwise?
And we'll never know because we were all laughing too hard to consider all the scientific implications.
