Eight close friends (need to be) on a houseboat in our mid-twenties. What a party!

Craziest vacation....about three years ago we went to a resort area for a weekend golf vacation with 7 other couples. (Just in Saskatchewan, Jackfish Lake Lodge.)

It was a lot of fun (we go with these people on a golfing weekend every September long weekend) but this year everyone 'cut loose' even more than normal. It is the one weekend a year when they are free of their children, and the boys (and some of the girls too) tend to think they are back in university or something. Partay!

This particular year a couple of crazy things happened- we ladies finished our 18th hole and wet back to the hotel rooms (the rooms were right on the 1st hole)- to find the men all sitting there watching the CFL football game- stark nekkid. It was someone's bright idea to shock us when we got back; and many many beers were to blame.

They all were either sitting in such a way to hide their nether regions or had something arftully arranged over their crotches, so none of us actually saw *anything*.

But it was pretty funny- and not as weird as it may sounds- these guys have all known each other since childhood, they all play hockey and shower weekly together.

Well this was at about 4 in the afternoon, and things went downhill from there.....a few of us went to the dining room for supper about 6 and suddenly one of the guys who stayed behind was spotted running on the golf course- naked except for a (short) sweatshirt. He was grabbing flags from cups and shouting "I'm playing through!". His wife was mortified and the 2 old couples who were playing golf still were ticked but the rest of the us had a good laugh.

Unfortunately ...

a couple DNR (fish cops

) were there at the resort having coffee and also saw the whole spectacle.

Streaking is not exactly encouraged. They got his name and he was mailed a written warning for public nudity or something.

All in all, an unforgettable weekend. I think this year will be much calmer, we are getting older and wiser all the time.

Midland-Odessa and Big Spring Texas........ that was freakin crazy to call that trip a vacation

(don't mean to offend any west Texans... but since you live there, you know what I mean anyway)

I'm hoping that my vacation to PDC in 11 days will be the craziest vacation I've ever taken!

Been there, done that...about 1987 at Lake Shasta, California....Big houseboat, great friends, draggin' a ski boat, and a parasail . What a great time! Every day was a party on the lake, but every Thursday was the big party off the lake for all the houseboaters at the local beer joint...you knew it would be crazy when they served your beer in plastic cups...ended up dancin' on the tables and swingin' from the sprinkler system....Then, we had to find our way back to the houseboat across the lake in the dark and just a little s**tfaced....we had a great time with LOTS of great memories! Was that you there?

Or was it that night at Gilleys?

Spring Break!..no not from College...I and 3 other Special Ed teachers (ladies) decided to go to a lake cabin and fish. A blue norther can in and the temps never got above 26. No one told us that the fish don't bite when it's that cold. Too many funny things happened to list. And working in Special Ed just made it a little crazier. Best laughs I ever had.

A Romp in the Park

Combine a couple of Oregon, one from Chicago, one from Toronto, a single woman from Oregon, another couple from Chicago and Kathy and I in two cabins in the Ozarks for a long weekend with good food, lots of wine

It was a good weekend

. Then there was the food fight after the pasta dinner - it was the weekend I learned that Canadians pronounced pasta differently than many US residents - but they throw it at people the same ways.

Group vacations.....a few years ago we did a group long Thanksgiving weekend in a big house on Mt. Hood. Discussed articles from the Humanist and other rationalist publications. Had a several readings from a book titled "Mom's Marijuana". It is a wonderful book that would make great Playa vacation reading. Cooked a turducken. Some loved it, others did not - no food fight this time. Huge fireplace roaring late into the night and a 10 year old boy who tried to treat the hot tub like a swimming pool. Warmed up enough to sit in the back yard and watch the Zig Zag river flow.

Family trip to FL, not long after my (2nd) divorce w/ 2 older sisters, 1 bro-in-law, and 2 adult nieces. SO many memories, but the best were... well, I had them all typed out but decided it was a little TMI. Let's just say it involved stopping construction due to a bikini clad sand fight, rum runners, lost relatives, more rum runners, being pied pipers when we closed down a beach bar, more rum runners, 3am skinny-dipping, rounding up lost relatives and peeling them off the guys they'd attached to, bringing home strays, and just generally figuring we better never show our faces in Ft Myers for a few years.

Gawd, it was the best family fun I ever had!

The craziest I've experienced has to be the time I was in Norway and this friend of mine drank too much and proceeded to talk about suicide. She scared my 2 year old son so badly with her screaming and profanity that I called the cops. The Norwegian police were very prompt and booked her for the night!!! Needless to say, we're no longer friends. Talk about a psycho! We hadn't seen each other for 10 years and she was living in Germany so we thought it would have been 'fun' to hook up while I was on that side of the pond. Never again. If I haven't seen you in a couple years, ain't no way we're vacationing together!!!

My husband and my parents rented a condo in OC, Md for the week...my Dad was in charge of planning this trip...the condo belonged to a co-worker of his...the co-worker's daughter lived there during the summer months but we were told she would be staying with her boyfriend this particular summer. Well we get there, open the door and find out his daughter is still there. Her boyfriend has lost his apartment and they have no place to stay for a couple of nights until he can find something else...what do we do??

My dad said ok...you can stay and you won't be in our way. Well, famous last words...I get up one morning in my pj's and go to the kitchen for some OJ and out of nowhere comes this guy in his boxers saying good morning to me...I am like what the hell is going on and who the hell is this guy!!!

Then the whole family goes to the beach and Michael stays behind to fish one day and the daughter decides to hang out with him...she proceeds to drink all of our beer...we get home and she is complaining about her day...what????

And to top it all off she has a dog...my son proceeds to play with the dog...throws the dog's ball in the water (we were staying on the bay side) and no one can get it...she starts bitching about this too.

At this point we are like wait a minute you are not even supposed to be here...we are paying for a week's vacation...you are drinking our beer...your boyfriend is running around like this is a frat house...and we are in the wrong.

Needless to say we got our money back for that week and never stayed there again. This guy's daughter was definately a freak and just tried to make our vacation miserable. All I can say is it was one we will never forget and at least we got our money back.

I'd have to say driving with husband and two kids in a minivan some 15000 miles from BC, Canada to Florida, then from Florida to Playa, staying a few months, then driving home to BC again. Phew, that was C-R-A-Z-Y.

Or so I'm told. :p
