Vacation

Well as some of you know, and some of you don't I spent last week in sunny Florida, getting a taste of what its like down where people are happy to be where they are at. I must say I had a good time down in the Villages. Yes I know I said Villages, a retirement community. But really I was down there to visit my uncle which I have not been to his place since he moved in, and to play as much golf as I could squeeze in while I was down there.

The Villages is a really nice community, and there is a good chance that when it comes to me retiring, that is where I am going to end up. The older people in this area is like no other. They are the biggest group of people that have decided that when they are old, they are not going to stay inside the house all day and let death happen. The are taking advantage of everything this wonderful community has to offer.

For me, on the days that I didn't go golfing I went geocaching with my aunt. She was great to drive me all over the villages in her awesome electric golf cart. I had a blast, and found around 14 geocaches. There were a couple of great puzzle caches that ended up being a ton of fun.

When all was said and done, it was time to go home. I didn't really like the idea, but I knew I still had a job waiting for me when I got home. So I boarded the airplane and the first thing I saw was a cute flight attendant, can't for the life of me remember his name, but I was happy to see a male attendant. I got settled in my seat and it was time for the pre-flight announcements. This is when it got fun.

The flight attendant started the announcements, talking about turning off all electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, children. That got everyone that was paying the littlest of attention laughing. Then he continues talking about the drinks, coke, diet coke, water, alcohol, and energy drinks for your children. Again the plane was practically rolling on the floor. So towards the end of the safety portion of the speech he was talking about the oxygen mask. He said "even though the bag may not be inflated the alcohol is still flowing". Isn't that great. Oh and one other thing, he was talking about the vest. he said to put the toilet cover over you head and pull the handle when you get out of the plane. "for the over achiever you can inflate the vest manually using the tube".

So anyway enough about that. So the plane takes off, and what do you know, there are three male flight attendants and only one female flight attendants. and to top it off they are all pretty cute.

Well on the assent into the air we hear an announcement. "Please direct your attention to the center Isle, your in flight snack is being delivered". I was thinking what is going on. Then I hear "you better catch them, the drinks are next". All of a sudden peanuts go flying down the center isle, they were putting them on the floor and letting them slide towards the back due to our assent angle. It was so fun.

Well that was the highlight of my trip home.

Hope you enjoyed the story.
