Ahh... the beach at last! My BF Princessa and I decided (about a month ago) to take a Girls Gone Mild vacation. We wanted to leave our city and travel to the beach to relax for a couple of days. Our open heart and mind led us to Corpus Christi Texas. On yesterday (6-19-08) we said good-bye to our kiddos and headed to the airport in search of Corpus. We decided to fly to save gas and not to mention the cheap fares of $29 each way!
Ok... Here goes...
Flight Issues:
We arrived at the airport at 9:45am. Our flight was scheduled to depart at 10:30am. Well, after going through the motions of getting luggage checked and passing through security, we made way to our gate. We were under the impression that the flight would be slightly delayed (11:30am). Loooonng story short, we spent 3 hours waiting in the airport on the plane (it was delayed do to weather in Dallas). So FINALLY we get on the plane and begin to pull away from the gate. Once we get to the runway the plane stops. Apparently there were mechanical issues with the plane. So... we spent another hour on the plane attempting to figure out that situation. We did not end up in the air until 2:45pm, which got us to Corpus Christi at 3:45pm.
Transportation:
After we touched down in Corpus Christi, we had to figure out how we were going to get to the hotel. Mind you, we were not planning on renting a car. We simply wanted to "rough it" all weekend. Princessa went to talk to the airline customer service rep to see if it would be possible to get a voucher (due to the inconvenience of the flight) for transportation. She told her no, but she did give her another option. This is were it gets interesting. We took a hotel shuttle (not ours) to a hotel that was not too far from ours (our hotel does not offer a shuttle). From there we took a cab to our hotel. GHETTO! What was so funny was that the staff from the hotel (that we took the shuttle to) helped us load our things in the taxi! Basically we spent a combined $8.60 versus $40 for transportation from the airport.
Let the Good Times Roll:
We checked in to the hotel and I made a quick change and immediately headed across the street to this bar and grill. Let me tell you... the food was delicious and the drinks... ah! I had 3 margaritas (the max) during that setting. P came to meet me (she was busy getting all "dolled" up) and the night started from there.
A tad later we left the restaurant and headed back to the room to change for the pool. We then headed to the pool took pictures and laid poolside. Shortly after, we went upstairs to the hotel bar.
Enter Jackson:
We met Jackson at the bar. Jackson is a 44 year old white male who was TONS fun. Jackson hails from Chicago and was spending time in Corpus to have hair resotration surgery. Jackson is an alcoholic who is on his way to rehab... he decided to party one last time before he started the journey. We hooked up with him at the bar and boy did the good times roll!
Later that Night:
I Skinny Dipped! I know it sounds weird, but I had never skinny dipped before. It was so fun and freeing. Life is but a dream!
Dissection:
As I sit here in my hotel room listening to the waves and starring out at the beautiful beach, I can't do anything but thank God for all that He has done for me! Life is golden.
More updates to come. I am off to the beach!
The End.
