Album:2002:12-27 Antigua
|
|
My gracious parents (thanks to my gracious grandfather) decided to have
a big family reunion in Antigua.
I can't argue with that.
So Mo and I spent Xmas in San Diego with her family, then we packed up
and headed for the Carribean. Wahoo!
There was much sun, but unfortunately I got some freaky hardcore intestinal
disease before we even left San Diego, and I was miserable sick
for the first half of the trip - we even ended up going to the hospital.
That was an interesting experience - lasting a good seven hours (it was
becoming comparable to the grueling
SF General
incident). But the happy part of the story is that, because of those 7 hours,
we didn't get to leave that third-world hospital until after 5pm.
Why does that matter, you may ask, my faithful reader? Well, when we
went to the nurses window to checkout and pay, they told me we could
just go, because "the cashier had gone home for the day."
So, as it turns out, Antigua has a better Medical Plan than the
United States. Have emergencies late and they're free!
This came in handy once more, when Mo got an insect bite that made her
whole arm get stiff and sore. We went to go check it out free! Wish
that's how things worked here...
Anyways, we finally both managed to stop going to the emergency ward and
had a smashing time.

Karaoke night. My dad and his new buddy doing "I Can't Get No Satisfaction"
We weren't surprised
That's not an added echo, that's them.. :) [Video, 535k] ( comments)

My mom sings
"Where Have All The Flowers Gone" - I have fond(er) memories of my mom singing it when I was a kid. At least they had the guts to do Karaoke - I chickened out, though Mo sang "Sittin' By The Dock Of The Bay" [Video, 119k] ( comments)
