Where It's At

Status Report: Vacation Day III

At long last, all is well. Vacation Day I was spent in final preparation for departure. Forward preparation had been completed the day before. The last of the clothing needed to be washed and packed. Breakfast was cooked. Television was watched. Then the whirlwind began. Final items were assembled, checklist got checked off, and The Wifey's conveyance was loaded to capacity. Since she had been dropped off at Checkpoint Alpha (read: carpool meeting place) at 0530 - meaning we'd been up since 0445 - we proceeded to Checkpoint Bravo (read: where her and her office girls were having lunch) to acquire Wifey for departure. Several checkpoints later and the final destination was reached. De-board conveyance, unload cargo, begin Operation Romeo-Alpha-Romeo (that's Rest And Relaxation for the layman among you). Supplies were attained, and pizza was acquired for that evening's meal.

Status report could not be completed at day's end (Thursday's post was written pre-departure).

Proofreading will be tough (I use parentheses too much).

Vacation Day II was more recreational in nature. The morning was greeted by a semi-successful brewing of coffee - strange coffee pots are rarely operated correctly on the first attempt - and a bowl of cereal roughly 2.36 steps in quality above an MRE. Aren't the always. The time of the meeting at Recreation Point Delta Charlie was 1000, and, due in no small part to the supreme piloting and navigational abilities of the author, we made it with time to spare. A small aquatic craft arrived to take the three of us, plus another family comprised of a young boy, his father, and his mother. No doubt she was along for safety reasons: she needed no life preserver, having had them pre-installed. What luck. Several images were captured (of the wildlife, not the flotation assistant). Will upload at later time.

The proverbial Brick Wall was reached far too early in the day. Time for rest.

Vacation Day III is roughly 50% complete. Hot tub was thoroughly relaxing. A shower to refresh. Note that The Hunt for Red October must be acquired in HD format. It is superior. This evening's sustenance shall include 1.0lbs of shrimp, Prime Tenderloin Steak, and, for Your's Truly, a nearly-cooked Bison Ribeye.

Expect Day III's complete report on Day IV.

That is all.
