WELL WE DID GO TO SAN DIEGO AND WE ALL CAME BACK IN ONE PIECE. WHEW!!! FOR SOME OF US THOUGH, NAMES I WILL NOT MENTION. YA RIGHT, IT TURNED OUT TO BE A GREAT TIME FOR ONE AND ALL. AND OF COURSE THERE IS A STORY SOMETIMES THINGS JUST DO NOT GO ACCORDING TO THE PLAN.
THIS STORY STARTS OUT AT OHARE AIRPORT, OUR FLIGHT WAS DELAYED 2 HOURS, SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS WITH THIS GROUP. LET S JUST SAY THE BARTENDERS WILL HAVE NO PROBLEMS BUYING THEIR LOVED ONES THAT VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS GIFT.
ONCE WE ARRIVED IN SAN DIEGO AT AROUND 1:00 AM AND GO TO PICK UP THE RENTAL CARS OF COURSE THE PERSON WORKING IS NOT THE SHARPEST PENCIL IN THE BOX. ONCE WE FINALLY GOT OUR KEYS FOR THE CARS AND THE QUESTION WAS ASKED “SIR DO YOU KNOW WERE WE COULD FIND OUR CARS, HIS ANSWER WAS QUOTE “ YOUR CARS COULD BE HERE, YOUR CARS COULD BE THERE THEY COULD BE ANYWERE”. LETS JUST SAY THAT ALAMO IS LOOKING FOR A NEW NITE PERSON. OUR HOTEL THE MARRIOT COURTYRD WAS IN THE OLD TOWN DISTRICT. A NICE AREA WITH OF COURSE SPANISH THEMED SHOPS, STORES AND RESTAURANTS. FRIDAY WAS OUR FIRST FULL DAY WHEN WE TRAVELED TO CORONADO ISLAND AND DOWN TOWARDS TIJUANA WHERE WE DUMPED THE BODY REMEMBER THE ALAMO GUY, INTO THE RIVER, JUST KIDDING, AND THEN UP TO PACIFIC BEACH. WOW THE SCENERY WAS OUTSTANDING THE BEACH WAS NICE TOO. I DID FIND IT AMAZING THAT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO SOMETHING HOW YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING, GOOD THING WE HAD A DESIGNATED DRIVER. THE COCKTAILS WERE FLOWING THE WEATHER WAS GREAT AND OUR GROUP WAS FUN. YOU KNOW HOW YAN LOVES HIS HEINEKEN, DON’T TELL HIM THIS BUT MOST OF THE BEERS HE WAS DRINKING WE ACTUALLY WERE POURING ROLLING ROCK INTO THE HEINEKEN BOTTLES WAY CHEAPER. WE FOUND THIS CHICAGO BEARS BAR AND ROGER TREATED EVERYONE TO CHICAGO BEARS HATS, THANK YOU. AFTER A NITE BACK IN OLD TOWN A NICE DINNER WAS HAD AND BACK TO THE HOTEL WE WILL SKIP WHAT HAPPENED IN BETWEEN THIS IS WERE UNCLE ROY YOU MIGHT KNOW HIM AS RAY , WELL LETS SAY THAT UNCLE ROY WAS PLAYING THIS ADULT GAME CALLED WALKING INTO THE WALL OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU COULD USE YOUR HOTEL KEY AT THE ATM? LEARN SOMEHING EVERY DAY. DAY TWO BRIAN, STEVE AND ROBERT ARRIVED FROM THEIR TRIP FROM VIVA LAS VEGAS, WE ALL HOOKED UP AND WENT IN TWO CARS TO SEE THE USS MIDWAY AND THE WILD ANIMAL PARK. MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO. AFTER SPLITTING UP FOR A FEW HOURS AND GETTING BACK TOGETHER AT THE USS MIDWAY IN THE PARKING LOT, OF COURSE WHEN I DRIVE UP TO MEET EVERYONE. WHAT DO I SEE, RANDY, ROGER, MARILYN, BRIAN, ROBERT, STEVE, BIG RAY AND KEN SPREAD EAGLE AND OF COURSE THE RING LEADER YAN, WHO IS IN THE BACK SEAT OF WHAT. THE POLICE CAR. THEY WERE TOLD NOT TO UNTIE THE SHIP. ASK THEM. AFTER EVERYONE WAS BAILED OUT WE MET UP WITH TIM AND LAURIE AT K-C’S BAR WHERE THEY FILMED TOP GUN FOR A FEW DRINKS THEN DOWNTOWN FOR MORE COCKTAILS AND A NITE OF BIKE RIDING. RICK A FRIEND OF BRIANS MET UP LATER AND ALL HAD A GREAT TIME. THE ACTUAL EVENT AND THE REASON FOR THE TRIP WAS THE CHICAGO BEARS GAME. RICK AND HIS SON WHO LIVES IN SAN DIEGO SET UP THIS GREAT TAIL GATE PARTY, THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT TAIL GATE PARTY THAT ALL OF US ENJOYED, AND FOR THE GREAT JOB THAT STEVE DID WITH THE GRILLING. WE MUST OF HAD THIRTY PEOPLE. ALTHOUGH WE LOST THE GAME, IT WAS STILL A GREAT TIME BY ALL. REMEMBER THE RENTAL CAR GUY. WELL ASK RANDY ABOUT THE BIG DENT. REMEMBER I WASN’T GOING TO USE ANY NAMES. WELL THAT S ABOUT IT HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME. WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING MORE TRIPS LIKE THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE. WE NEED YOUR HELP AND IDEAS. CHUCK CAN NOT DO THIS ALONE.
