The Drive

This was the worst part of the trip. We left 2 hours late (about 10PM) and we only had 5 people going instead of 6. This meant last minute we had to cram everyone into my sister's SUV. We had to stop at Walmart to get bungee cords to fasten all the luggage to the room (originally we were supposed to put luggage in one car, food and booze in the other). After that, we started with 2 cars picking up Scott and Phil on the way. We dropped off Matt's car in Columbus at Phil's place and rearranged all the luggage so that we could cram the five of us into the SUV. From Ohio to Tennessee we had nothing but dense Fog. We had horrible storms through Tennessee and Alabama and a few tornado warnings. We got to Florida at approximately 4PM (18hr drive and it usually takes 15 hrs).
I had talked to Dan a few times before we got to PCB and he told me that the place was a covered in fog. I was like f*** here we go again. I was surprised to see the traffic this year was way less packed. It was also a nice touch to see no signs of construction. Soon as we got to the summit we checked in at Spinaker's to get our wrist bands and gold cards. While Carmen, Scott, and Phil waited in line for check in, Matt and I did the rest of our shopping at Walmart.
The Summit wasn't letting people anyone check in except for the group leader, which meant that I had to rush shopping. The cashiers were super slow and I offered to help move things along by bagging for people and they refused and asked me to wait in line. We almost got sent to the back of the line at summit because Walmart took way longer than it should have.
We finally got our keys at 6PM and we were unpacked by 7PM. We just said screw it as far as going out that night and decided to get drunk at the summit. Totally the right decision. We made fajitas that night and Dan joined us for dinner and a whole lot of drinking.
More to come...

Cool! Another trip report!

Before we started the day, me, Scott, and Phil worked out at World's Gym. After that, we made waffles for breakfast. And to make spring break official, I gave myself a new hair cut and shaved. I was already buzzed and on the verge of being drunk so I did it all right there in the living room like Jason Biggs on American Wedding.
This day was all about doing it up at the booths. It started off with five (me, Carmen, Matt, Phil, and Scott). First we watched the contests on the platforms for a while, then we got bored and started on our way to get the free stuff.
First, we did the Trojan challenge to win a few free t-shirts. Then, it was off to wall climbing. We were very hungry so earning some jerky really hit the spot.
Next stop was the mechanical bull. Scott tried it first and he was totally not bout it. Complained about how much it hurt, so I'm like, "THIS IS MANSH*T I'LL DO IT IF YOU CAN'T!!!" Of course being drunk off of 3 long islands the size of slurpee cups and working on a patron margarita I knew I wouldn't last very long, just long enough to beat Scott. It was a blast because I lasted about 20 seconds and when I fell it was hard. Then these two blonds came up and wanted to ride the bull as well (at the same time). Everybody was cheering them on and they told the operator, "please go easy on us". Being that they were uber hot and wearin some bangin bikinis that dude knew exactly how to give everyone what they wanted. He made the bull shake and tilt back and forth real slow. All you saw was jigglin booty and everyone was screamin super loud. Those chicks were laughin and so was everyone else. They told the operator,"this is too easy" and the operator was like,"yes it is..." He finally made it start spinning and bucked them off but that was the best bull ride I had seen all of spring break. They were on for a solid minute.
Scott and Phil disappeared after the bull so me, Carmen, and Matt went over to the boxing ring to get some boxing action. That was AMAZING!!! Me and Matt did some sparing and we were so drunk that we went full out. I was dancin around knockin his head gear off with jabs and laughing my *ss off. After he cracked me a good one, we started swinging with bad intentions but were still laughing the whole time. No matter how hard we hit, we couldn't knock each other down. After 3 rounds they stopped it and gave me a decision.
We went back to the summit after that to enjoy the italian sauce we had slow cookin since 7am. Pretty much expect a story about dinner for each day. We had home cooked meals 6 out of 7 nights and Dan can pretty much tell you I'm the king of the bar and the kitchen. While the table was being set, we took turns to go get our hands stamped at spinnakers. Dan joined us for dinner. It was so freakin good, we had italian sauce (6 cans of sauce, meatballs made from ground black angus steak, portobellas, italian sausage, carmalized onions, parmesean, asiago, and romano cheese), ziti, garlic bread, and open bar. I drank Disaronno to keep the Italian theme.
After dinner we went to Greedoe's condo to discuss the TS party. Did some breakin in the lobby waitin for the elevator (Dan got pics of that). After a some partyin at the Boardwalk with Greedoe we went to Spinnakers and the rest of the night was a blur of bliss
