I need to be loud and demanding and I intend to be. Arrogant, that's what I'll be. And ruthlessly foolish as well. The two things together is what makes a 'tourist'.<BR/><BR/>Actually we are going on our vacation at the end of June. Only five days but I know now how to make the best of it.Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-73795055354356044472007-05-26T20:04:00.000-06:002007-05-26T20:04:00.000-06:00Roberta,I don't know much about being a tourist..b...Roberta,<BR/>I don't know much about being a tourist..because I've never been anywhere...and funerals don't count! But I have heard it said..that tourists get away with everything. Yep! It's okay to take things from hotel rooms...as in bathrobe's..soap, ashtray's...hell, even the sheets....I heard they expect it...and you can be loud and demanding, after all.....you're 'on vacation'. Also, if in Rome, do as the Romans do...and pinch some 'butt'....but don't do it in Florida...you might cause some poor old guy to have a heart attack! Not good!<BR/>And don't forget..to do some 'wild n crazy stuff' that your kids will never get to see... hopefully with the hubby...and if not....what is room service for? I'm just kidding......tell hubby...to calm down!<BR/>Seriously, I'm very glad to hear you're going on vacation! I think you need a well-deserved vacation.<BR/>You go and enjoy yourself.....don't worry about us..we'll manage....somehow...someway, (sigh),,if it means 'soup kitchens..and wallowing in filth...don't worry..we'll manage..you go ahead and enjoy yourself! Don't forget to take some pics......hope to hell you're not going to a nudist colony!<BR/>But go ahead...enjoy...we'll manage!<BR/>By the way..when are you coming back??Spicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092460015575995500noreply@blogger.com
