Florida

This weekend I took Friday and the following Monday off to go to Florida with my girl friend Tanya to visit our mutual friend Becky. It was awesome. The first night we got to Florida it was rain but Becky took us out to the bars with her friend Rico. We went to the bar she works at, Rico is a bouncer there, you might know of it, its called the Coyote Ugly Saloon. That’s right, from the movie, but don’t tell them that, they will just yell “the Bar came first!”

If you can ever get to one of the Coyote Ugly Saloons I highly recommend it, the movie does not do it justice. To make it even better Rico got us in with not cover charge and Becky mixed us Captain and cokes that where more Captain then coke.

Next we where off to the biggest night club in the USA, Club La Vela, with 10 different theme rooms with everything from country to techno. They also have a huge pool and 38 bars. While in Club La Vela Rico impressed us by spotting an underage drinker dancing in the crowded thunder dome and helping them outside. Later he caught another underage kid and showed him the door too. He used to work at Club La Vela before moving to Coyote Ugly. Rico is damn good at his job.

Then next day it was still raining but since we did not get back till 5 am we did not wake up until 4 in the afternoon. Again we went out to some awesome clubs and this time some 1 in a million drama hit us. Becky ran into a girl she had never met before and started taking to her. Turns out she is dating Becky’s roommate’s ex-boyfriend. One problem, Becky’s roommate is getting back with him and their are no longer ex’s… needless to say the girl was in tears because the guy had said it was all over between him and Becky’s roommate. Other then that another late night of partying.

Then last day there we forced ourselves to get up semi early and go to the state park. It was hard to get up but totally worth it. We walked around alligator pond and saw 2 huge alligators sun bathing and then spent the day on the beach. Despite loads of sun screen I still got a little burnt in some place but not too bad.

The only other part that was not fun was a 6 hour layover on the way there from one of our plans not arriving on time and the 8 hour layover on the way back from a cancelled flight. We will still drunk on the way back so that one wasn’t so bad. We left the bars at 4:30am to get a 6am flight that ended up being at 2pm flight.

All and all it was a much need and fun vacation. OOOoo and amazing food from all the little restaurants Becky and Rico took us too, delicious.
