In honor of Darlene's upcoming, much anticipated, well deserved vacation next week, I thought I'd give her a headstart on her travel journal.
Darlene,
This time next week you will be in SoWal! You would have gotten up before the sun. Packed your "Pink Cadillac", and left your "Sweet Home Alabama" and hit the "Freeway of Love". The anticipation builds with each mile. You are like a "FreeBird" with "Two Tickets to Paradise". At the beginning there was some "Dread" about the drive, but you "Clampitt" because you know pretty soon you'll be "Sittin'on the Dock of the Bay" at the 331 watching the first of a weeks worth of beautiful sunsets, and those beautiful "Tequila Sunrise" mornings.
Finally the Villas are in sight. The Villas are so beautiful, they put the "Hotel California" to shame! You park the car, unpack your gear, greet your friends, and wander to the hammock to enjoy a cold one and wait for Jessifunn. You glance at your watch and realize, it's only "Twenty five or Six to Four". Maybe it's too early for a beer? Then you realize, you're on "Vacation", and besides, "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere." You pop the top, hop in the hammock, and relax.
Pretty soon Jfunn arrives and wakes you from your "SweetDreams". "Sorry I'm late," she says. "I stepped on a pop top and blew out my flip flop!" "But I'm here now so let's "Get this Party Started"!..................Feel free to continue Darlene's travel log!

I hear you Jessifunn. That stuff just doesn't flow out, it takes a lot of time and talent. Would love to add to it but have the "kids" (nephew and 3 friends) here still which will inspire a trip log entitled "The Lies of Teenage Guests! :floor: . One thing for sure, he will never get to borrow my car again to pick up chicks :nono1:

Jfunn says "I'm so excited" let's drink some "Tequila" and "Shout" at Cork. She's probably "Barefootin" by now. She's always "Funn, Funn, Funn".
You say you haven't seen Cork since "Margaritaville".
Pretty soon, you're all "Dancin in the Streets" in your "Isty Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikinis". SJ and Ro show up and you tell them "Stand By Me" cuz you can't do it by yourself.
You tell yourself "Girls just want to have Funn" and you and Jfunn go by Kurt and Tootsie's where you beg Kurt to do the Macarena. He refuses, but says he will do the "Chicken Dance". You tell them so far, "I've had the time of my life"..........

You, Cork, Tootsie and Jfunn decide to check out the "Wide Open Spaces" on the beach. Tootsie tells you the story of how her family moved here in "The Summer of '69". You have about "21 Questions" about that, but before you can ask, Jfunn and Cork start doing the "Twist" right there on the beach! You never realized Cork was the "Dancing Queen". But, after all, she is a "Pretty Woman", more so than ever since her trip to Tampa.
The four of you make plans to hook up later at the Red Bar, which is next door to the "Love Shack". On the way there, you hear "Strokin'" on the radio and you all jump out and start dancing on the beach.
