Marco Island...July 31, 2000

This is a travel diary that Steph, Allison, and I made when we went to Marco Island for my 16th birthday. Steph's entries are in purple. Allison's are in blue. Mine are in green. And here we go...

12:44 p.m.

I decided to inagurate the ROAD TRIP OFFICIAL NOTEBOOK because...well I wanted to. Um right now Allison is screaming Anastasia over my Britney Spears, but all is good. The journey has just begun I'll write again soon. =P

Yay! I love road trips even though I can't write in the car. Allison has been singing Anastasia as Steph said. No comment. Right now I'm listening to my "song of the week". It's "Ai No Senshi" from Sailor Moon. Note to self: buy more Japanese CDs. Well we're on Alligator Alley, and I haven't seen any alligators. Darn. I wanted to count them like I did on the way to all state. Guess what? I saw the fire in the everglades that was raining ashes on out cul-de-sac yesterday. Ok enough. C-ya later.

3:00 p.m.

We are almost to the hotel. FINALLY!!! Marco Island is very pretty. Steph is listening to Tarzan music. Lauren is listening to music too. We are here. Bye!

Sniffs is stuffed. We just had lunch, chicken crispers - BKAWK! Allifartus kept repeating everything we said. When we first got into Marco Island, I saw a sign that said EDISON and I screamed EUDIAL! The guy is CUTE <3! He turned around!!! We got a suite...SWEET! Allison went "Hey guess what? Mom can we have the free stuff?" Ok well we're gonna go check out the hotel. C-ya soon. BYE! Wait Allison is dancing in the closet. "Hey it's a thing."

5:39 p.m.

After the baithing suit debate...one piece or two...are we fat or not...and of course suntan lotion and Australian Gold (yay croc hunter. crikey) we finally made it to the beach. After going in the water (and remember: watch out for stingrays) for like 20 minutes...guess what? It began to RAIN. Wow. Oh side note: we thought we saw a cute guy, but...well...video cameras in front of a guy's face can be deceiving. Well then we went to the pool. Guys there...they almost drowned Steph and Allison. Oh and I just smudged the back page of the book. And now we're sitting in the room watching Allison watch TV. The screen is loose. And now it's thundering out. Yay. Man... =P

Well Lauren mostly covored (*covered) it, but she 4got to mention...she said Knocky knocky! LOL! and the fact that WE GOT CHECKED OUT...yeah! Lauren is taking pictures of the silent sailboat. It's a really cool storm. The sand and the water are blurry like a watercolor painting. THERE'S A BEE! WHAT? lol. ^_^ Oh and news: the microwave smells like POPCORN! Allison is playing housewife. Allifartus locked Lauren out...FUNNESS. And we were taking pictures of lighting. We did crunches! Good for us! We'll keep u up 2 date on guys...<3. Hel...no!

6:25 p.m.

Well I tried to get lightning pics...no luck. The people in the hotel across from us shouted "hi". WOW. Today was a washout. Allison is not happy. She doesn't want to go out to eat. Figures. I say day you say night...etc... Well I gotta go change. Hello kind barbarians.

It rained today. Zzzzzzzzzz! It is almost time for dinner. I am not going out to dinner tonight. There is no point. The room is cool. Bye!

7:00 p.m.

I just noticed that the carpet is blue and yellow checkered and it makes an optical illusion. Bye now.

Lauren this is SOOOO funny. Will is SOCKMAN! Ok um well we gotta go and drag Allison out to dinner. Bye-bye!!!

9:35 p.m.

Hey I've made an incredible discovery. LOL. The guys at the live performance are singing! Ok forget that. Steph and I now have matching sandals (yay for K-Mart). We ate dinner at Bimini's. The live performers, Billy and Bob, sang Margaritaville. We're going to the arcade in a few minutes.

FIGURES! We went to the arcade and it was closed. Then we tried to go to the beach but it was lightningING and when we made it up the elevator 2 guys were going into the arcade "threshold!" ugh! I so wanted to chill on the beach at night. Maybe w/those guys...hmm? LOL. Okay ENOUGH. I g2g be miserable now =( muah!!!

10:24 p.m.

I swear I'm gonna lock Allison outside on the balcony. Obnoxious sister... On a lighter note, my sandals are in the freezer. Whatever.

10:36

My sandals are FROZEN!

Girls just wanna have...and I don't want the world to see me! KRYPTONITE!

10:48

*NSYNC!!!!! <3 Justin <3 thong tha-thong thong thong!

10:51

It is late. Wow! I went down to the arcade. It was closed. Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow. The room is still cool. Mom, Steph, and Lauren are listening to the radio. Gotta go! C-YA!

11:01

CREED. Can you take me higher? Can you tell we're listening to the radio? Whoa... And that's the way it is. (Celine Dion). Next...

11:46

Lauren and Steph are throwing Weenie back and forth.

11:56

Haha Allison's sandals's are gonna be ICEBERGS by tomorrow morning. I'm kinda tired. Time to take out the CD player. Good night.
