Arrow MIKEqc's Spring Break Report! March 10th-15th **56k go get a coffee**

Here is my Spring Break report, March 10th-15th:

Saturday night (or should I say Sunday morning) about 2 am, even if there was a huge snowstorm outside and the news suggested staying home, Chris and I decided that nothing would stop us from going to PCB and that we were starting our roadtrip right away!

So we packed, picked J-P and it’s a start! 2500 km of road to do!

The plan of the trip and some trip essentials:


The starting point: Montreal, Quebec, Canada


Car setup, we were equipped with a GPS and a laptop linked to the radio with Itunes, to have enough music for the 30-hour-trip to come!


We arrived at the US border at about 6:30, first stop: Duty free, bought rhum bottles and some beer:


Daytime, stop at the gas station of Lafayette, NY, car was pretty dirty lol


Jp in the back and Chris driving




Pennsylvania, the snow finally disappeared! J




Stopped in West Virginia for lunch at Taco Bell, bought some stuff at Wal-Mart, and stopped to a car wash, car was nasty!

Chris’ cooking for us lol


Toast: “To Spring Break!”


After a calm day, it’s time to get ready for a party night!
Getting drunk + Crank that = White boys trying to crank lol



We decide to go to Spinnaker again, 2 extra VIP passes, not a problem, let’s find ladies in the line up!! ;)

“You girls are 2?”
“Come with us, no line up for ya!”

So here are Brittany and Amber, from Texas, getting in VIP with us (thanks TripSmarter!!)




Am I under 21?….oooops :P


2 guys that bought a full pizza in the club haha

Wednesday night, planned on going to La Vela, getting pretty drunk on rhum at the hotel.
We met some Syracuse people on our way...They wanted to enrol us in their Christian movement, spoke with them of things I can’t even remember but found some footage afterwards on my cam…
"You’re virgins?! Dammmn you’re missing something haha” “Let’s go to ****ing La Vela”…drunk conversations you know...
We were pretty drunk, I personnaly abused of rhum...that can was filled at about 2/3 of it and was pretty disgusting lol...gotta finished it off course haha.

Looks pretty homo looking at me that way...


We ended being refused the access to the club Chris and I, “X” on the hands haha…we were pretty hammered and under 21 so it’s understandable
Was the first to be refused and thought that Chris entered, so I went back on my own to the hotel, meeting some people on the way.
Arrived to the hotel, I realised I didn’t have the key of the room…saw a sofa near…and slept outside haha and damn it was a little cold to be in t-shirt that night!
At 6 am…I wake up, say to myself “damn they must be back by now”, knock at the door, and some laughing followed lol…realised that they arrived to the hotel BEFORE me and were there all the time. Slept outside for nothing, my bad

Thursday March 13th

Here’s Chris showing the sofa I slept in haha


I’m not the only one that slept outside! LOL


Yeah right…


Found a van with a Quebec plate! Qc people were pretty rare down there that week


Would be curious to know how much GEICO put in that spring break with all the giveaways, booths, Plane, Boat!!!


Another sunny day! Time to put some sunscreen on…time for a homo pic on the balcony


Here we go for another day on the beach with some Natural Light (9.95$ at Wal-Mart for 24 cans…damn that’s CHEAP haha) Yes, we had to go back to the hotel to pick some more afterwards


Jack Link’s…we ate enough of these to skip lunch that day

Thursday night, FOAM PARTY at Hammerhead Fred’s! We had an awesome night. First foam party for me, damn I thought I would die drowning under that the first times! I was getting soap in my eyes and had to go away. But I ended being able to deal with it lol


Gotta thank DANIEL LEE for his tip of putting cell phone and digi cam in zip locked bags! Worked out perfectly and that’s why I was able to bring back a few snaps!


Met some girls over there, danced with some, then met other girls from Indiana:



This group was pretty wild lol…2 of them especially drunk that were flashing non stop and giving a good show haha. The one on the left was one of these 2 lol


Friday March 14th


Friday was a rainy day, no beach and no contests…


Went to Hooters (****ty pic, only one I got)
<


Friday ladies night at La Vela, tried to give it a try another time…


Met Amber from Florida in the line up:


Only drank 3 beers before to prevent being refused once again…
Bouncer asked me my birth date…not being prepared and speaking French, gotta translate what I hear and what I say after, making a hesitation…
So he refused me one more time saying I had drank, to come back in a hour an a half…
Tried to argue, but nothing to do, and yeah I drank, but 3 beers, no big deal…

So returned to the hotel and finished the night on the strip and in the hotel

Saturday March 15th

Our last day in PCB, we woke up and the weather was bad, rainy. We were pissed at the fact of leaving on that note.

Luckily, sun went out a bit in the afternoon and we were able to go on the beach for a last time!





Another contest day at La vela





The gate we jumped on Thursday night to go to the Summit.

Here’s the story, while going out of Hammerhead Fred’s a guy told us that 3 girls at the Summit wanted him and 2 other guys to join them to party…so he asked us if we were in…hmm why not! lol So we jumped 2 walls, and once in the parking lot he calls them back….they told him they were finally going to sleep! What?! OWNED, haha
