NO WAY? You mean Angi actually FINISHED that TR? Thank GOD!

You can't quit now... get back to :typing: we need to hear whats next

 

I aint quitting but I have been pretty busy the last few days. The kiddos are actually with their Dad today (for ONCE :roll: ) so I just snuck on here before hopping in the shower. Garland is taking me to dinner for Father's day. Like how that works? Hey mostly I am a Dad too!

I will update more tomorrow!

 

Ok I have been waiting for the TR to be done ... I actually waited a few days before even starting to read this and now you have me hooked. Please get typing on the next installment. Remember me ... we may have met but we are not sure and if we did meet we like each other ... LOL

 

Dahender...I have been eyeing a digi SLR since they were 6mp max! LOL! I prefer Canon so now my lust is the Rebel xti. I just can't justify 1,000 bucks on a camera when I buy a new PHD (love it!) every other year and I have my Canon film SLR that takes AWSOME photos. I am going to have to look at the one that you bought to see what it is all about, I dont think I have heard of it.

Before I get back to the trip report I have to share what I am doing when I am finished typing today...I went to Saver's the other day cause I heard that it was a good thrift store. GUESS WHAT I FOUND??? Really it was the ONLY thing I bought as I didt find anything else worthwhile. It is a game from the 70's or 80's maybe...My Grandma and I played it all the time when I was a kid. I LOVED playing it with my Granny. Oh good memories! It is called Husker Du. Does anyone else remember this game? It is supre simple but I had to buy it for the 3 bucks they were asking. The minute I picked it up I was transported to my Grandma's kitchen on a night I was spending with her. Playing Husker Du and eating the most fattening bedtime snack ever allowed while granny had a cocktail and a cigg! I can still smell the Rum and coke and her ciggys! LOL! So my Son and I are going to play Husker Du. I will skip the drink (too early here!) and I dont smoke but it will have to do!

Ok nothing to do with the TR but I wanted to share!

In case anyone was wondering where I get my TR "skillz" from I will tell you I used to frequent the Disboards.com (all about Disney in case you need the info!) because I thought maybe I would take my kids there soon. Those people are a bit cooo coo. They do TR, PRe- TR and food reports that are HUNDRED"S of posts long. And that coupled with my gift of gab well, you get this! Now on to the regularly schedualed TR!

 

When we last left G and Angi on their eventful trip they had left their friends to have dinner with new friends and went off to dinner themselves because G isnt dressed appropriatly. :roll: Why he has to be so ghetto I will never know! :roll: :roll:

So we go to the buffet and have a fine dinner and tho on a future trip I will try the Asian I think I liked the buffet better. I am pretty picky when it comes to Asian (love some beef with broccoli or chow mein or the ultimate is Benihana but really the rest I could leave!). In the middle of eating the police officer calles me and says she feels this Sarah my daughter wants to stay with seems like she has her shit together and my kid will be fine. She gives me Sarah's number and address and gives my info to Sarah and leaves her there. Sarah soon calles me, we have a nice conversation and I talk to my daughter. She will be fine. Finish dinner and try to call my Dad. He is at Home Depot with my kids and is going to secure my basement as I guess part of the trouble with my daughter is that she found a way to break in down there and showed some of her friends. (I lock the basement from her as she has so many issues that I have to give her permission to get her things, alcohol has been missing from upstairs and so I now lock that there, my kids will eat two entire bags of chips the day I buy them if I turn my back on them so I dole them out...nice life I hae huh?) Stuff was missing from my basement including a bottle of vodka and credit cards while I was gone. So he wants me to call him back in an hour.

G and I go to lay on the hammocks a bit, cuddle and head to nice shoes for the kareoke show. Watch Sassy and others sing. That Sassy has a pretty nice voice. I think Mary won (met her a few days later) if my memory serves me but it very well could have failed me. Leave nice shoes to call my dad again. Run into Carrie and F. Tell them what is going on and we will meet with them in a half or so. I have to pee (yes there is a point to this! ). Instead of peeing my bladder spasms. OH SHIT. OH SHIT. I havent drank but maybe a sip of water this trip, drank a ton of alcohol, and "siesta!" time has been more than plenty. Yeah I know what that spells. UTI. :cry: Shit. Not today. But it isnt horrible. Go off to call Dad. Angi to G "give me my phone..." G to Angi "I dont have your phone you have it." "No way I have no pockets" I say. Crappy. G checks his pockets again. Nope. Angi checks her (nonexixtant) pockets...UM no! Crappy Crappy crappy. :evil: Ok lets think rationally. "You HAVE to HAVE it G" "No you never gave it to me after talking to your Dad earlier" Ok lets check over by the place where I called him and the hammocks.

Ok as I walk I am starting to feel more and more bladder spasms. It is getting worse and quick. (They seem to come on quickly and with a vengance for me) I tell him I need to get some meds and fast. We look in a few spots for the phone but my bladder cant wait anymore. So we go to the front desk and ask where the nearest pharmacy is. They give us some odd directions that lead us to believe that we need to stay on this side of the road and go to the next hotel. It would be right there. (So we are thinking in the same building with the Deli and money exchange do you know the one?) We head down there....and go a bit further, because we are SURE that he never mentioned crossing the street. Yeah we dont see it. Come back and decide to check across the street. We finally find it. From the vantage point where we stood the only med I can see that is an antibiotic is Augmentin. While I am a RN I am extremely stressed and cant think straight. I am pretty sure I have never had Augmentin for a UTI. I have several allergies that complicate my care because they are the typical meds that are used to treat UTI's. Life threatening allergies. I ask the woman behind the counter. She isnt understanding what I need. I am sure when I am explaining the area of my body that is effectied she is trying to give me meds for a Yeast infections! :roll: Well crappy. G I dont think I can treat myself safely. I am scared that I will get something I am allergic to and not know it. ok. I will get you to a MD. (it is 10 pm here folks!) We get back to TTR. G goes to the room to get cash for a cab. I wait in the lobby. The desk staff offer to call a MD. I didnt know how they could test my urine without the equiptment. So he says $10 cab ride should get me to a MD. G is back. We go to the cab. They act like they dont know what doctor means. So go back to the front desk. G says just call the MD to the room. We are almost out of cash. We still need to call Dad. G runs to the ATM and store to get a calling card and cash. I wait for MD. While G is gone MD comes to room.

Asks me what is wrong. I give symptoms. Takes my BP. I am trying to explain that I am allergic to several medications including the analgesic that is typically given for UTI's. He nods but I am not totally sure he understands. No testing of the urine. Digs through this bag of meds. Yeah a big jummbled mess! Not feeling exactly safe. The meds are ones I am not 100% sure. He keeps saying the analgesic is specifically for UTI's. It is a name I have never heard of. I have only heard of one UTI analgesic (and as I have told him I am allergic) the Antibiotic is one I have heard of but the nonbrand name isnt in English and I cant remember if the generic isnt one I am allergic too as my brain is fried. Give me a reciept and leaves. G wants to know before he leaves will he come back if I have a reaction. He says I will be ok. Ok I wont take these meds until I can look them up. No way. I cant think well enough to feel safe right now.

Try to use this calling card and it WONt. work. Hmm. That isnt too unusualy considering how the day has gone. I need to call my Dad. Jeez.

Ok gotta go pick up the youngest from her Summer preschool program time has gotten away from me today. I will try to finish Tuesday before bed tonight!

 

OMG!!
You have GOT to finish this!
What happened to the cell phone?
Did you get a cure for the UTI??
Inquiring minds want to know!

 

Ok as the saga continues...I need to find out if this medication contains Sulfa and what the heck this analgesic is. We head downstairs to the front desk and sign up for internet for a half hour. Then spend at least a half hour waiting for someone else to log us on. I am not sure why this is the process? Why cant the desk people who take your money log you on? And later in the week when we need to use internet access we sit there waiting not knowing that it is the guy who sells tours job while he is there....They just hand you a recipet. No explination. :roll: But i digress...

So while i get online and google the medications and find (THANKFULLY) that they are safe G looks again in all the places we had went for my cell phone. No luck. I sposse you are wondering "well doesnt G have a phone so she can at least call to check on the kids?" Right? You WERE wondering that RIGHT? I thought so. Yeah. Despite the fact that he has some overly expensive smart phone my man has VERY difficult time with reception on his service. Even in his OWN HOUSE he has to stand in a certain spot to get service. YEAH. In Mexico? Yeah not so much. That damn phone had NO SERVICE the whole time. :evil: He really needs to switch services but he is stuck for another year. :? He comes back and I am really wanting to check in with my dad. Grab a drink and take my meds.

Talk to the manager on call at this point about helping us with this calling card as we tried it (maybe) 20 times in the room. Ok APPARENTLY this calling card only works on payphones. (are you serious? :? I guess that is just how the day is going.) Out to the parking lot there is a payphone right at the end! YEAH! UM no. Dont work there either...G goes back to the mini mart to see where we CAN use it. APPARENTLY you can only use it on CERTAIN payphones (thanks for telling us this when he purchased this...could have saved an hour! :roll: ) They only work on the ones that are right outside of the store next to the street! :shock: You cant hear shit basically! I attempt to call. UM yeah. I depend TOOO much on my cell to help me along. I am not quite sure what my Dad's cell number is I know MOST of it but the last two numbers are excapeing me. I try what I think it is. Basic voicemail comes on. (My Dad DID have a personal message but maybe he changed it? :? ) Leave message that cell is lost please try to call me at resort...leave room number. Try my house. No answer (No suprise only the kids use it and I am sure they are asleep by now). UG.

Go back to room. Carrie and F are in theirs. I use it to try to call the same number for my dad. Leave another VM. Also text him. Call Tmobile and check to see if phone is used (@1.49 a minute!!!!) NOPE. Well thats good at least. Suspend service so they cant if it is found. So now imagine my Dad's surprise when he hears "at the customer's request we have temporaryily suspended this service" and he is babysitting my brats. :shock: :?

Beat. That describes me. BEAT. The Terrible, horrible, no good, very bad Tuesday is about to come to a close. Thank goodness. I want my Mommy. I want to go home. G is suggesting we see if we can get a flight home the next day...No. We paid for the trip we need the vacation. Nothing elsebad COULD happen! Right?(no answer) Right? (a hush falls over the crowd) RIGHT????? :? Unfortunatly NOT RIGHT! but you knew that didnt you?

We go to bed. No "siesta!" tonight. I cant even think about it.

 

Ok folks I bet you never thought we would get to Wendsday at this point did you? :roll: :lol:

So today is the day that Carrie and F are leaving. We will miss them but we were a bit happy to have more time alone (sorry guys!). I wake up feeling better (THANK GOD)! The meds seem to be working. Gulp down my second doses with some water in the room and meet up with Carrie and F for breakfast.

Us gals have Minosas as we discovered someone else having one the other day. Ya know it feels weird to have alcohol for breakfast but somehow this feels acceptable! LOL! G and I decide that we will book some stuff for the next couple days. Hang out with Carrie and F for a little while. Try to call my Dad again with her phone one last time before they leave. Leave a message AGAIN on the number that I think may be his (?)

(In the end I find out that I had the last number wrong. I left messages for some poor soul telling him to call SOME resort with my room number. Since I had left all the hotel info before leaving I didnt even leave the hotel name or number so this poor person could call back anc tell me to leave them alone! Oh well I knew in an emergency my Dad would call the hotel and use my name to get to our room.)

Say goodbye to our friends right before lunch. Love you! See ya! Carrie and F have been together about 1.5 years and G and I for 2.5. Carrie has gotten to know G a little over that time but I really have only met up with F for a few dinners. It was nice to get to know better the man in my bff life and for the boys to get to know one and other together. If all works out I could see vacationing together again. It was less uncomfortable than I thought having my bff be topless around my man and FOR ONCE SHE got ME out of MY SHELL. Usually I am the outgoing one and up for anything.(as a matter of fact before we met these guys she and I went to Vagas together and she said I needed to TEACH her how to flirt!) G has settled that down a bit in me. He is much more reserved but became on this trip a bit more comfortable with my wild side (happy as I am able to be more myself!).

Anyways....The rest of the day was by the sexy pool for G and I. Had a few drinks. We booked the Pirate cruise for tonight. We did this last year and had a blast! This year was no different. If you want a dinner off the resort that is yummy and includes entertainment and drinks this is an awesome bet! We talked up TTR to anyone who would listen . We danced, drank ate and had a blast! The food really is good! Both times we have booked the steak as I dont like lobster. Both years they have given G a piece of lobster without paying anything so if you want both I reccomend booking the steak and look a little envious of the lobster as you go through. That is all he did and I asked him of he wanted to see if we could pay for lobster. They offered a slab to us both (I declined). The steak is really good as are the side dishes. The drinks are strong! YUMMO!

Back to TTR it is late but we may have hung at Paty O a bit. If I remember correctly! I am feeling better so of course we had "siesta!" time before bed!

Wends was a good day!

 

Well things are looking up!

Why do I feel like it may not stay that way?

Tell me I'm wrong and it was smooth sailing from then on!

 

Well Bethy...NOTHING can compare to Tuesday so in comparison yes things went well, but nothing that I would describe as smooth sailing! LOL!

You know how when you already are stressed the little things become that much bigger? Well that is really what the rest of the trip felt like. Really the whole vacation time was a little like that sort of pile on when I was needing a mental rest from my whole life. The month and a half before I went to TTR was a sad, sad, sad resembalance of my life. I AM the poster child for Murfey's law..."anything that can go wrong, will." So I was stressed out to begin with to say the least. Each of the smaller things that happened during the trip just felt so much worse than if they had been single incidents. KWIM?
