Thirteen Things I Learned From Vacation

In no particular order…..

1. Just because an airline asks for your meal preference when buying a ticket doesn’t mean you’ll actually get a meal.

2. Georgia is a whole hell of a lot bigger than people think it is.

3. Don’t trust your cousin’s alarm clock at face value, even if it says 7am it could really be 9am

4. It is humanly possible for someone in my family to not live within close proximity to a Friendley’s or Denny’s, or even know what one is.

5. Staying up late and getting up early to talk is so much better than going out.

6. Navy men can be covered in so many tattoos that they look like a coloring book.

7. Eight CDs is not enough for a road trip. If your iPod is broken get it fixed well in advance of said trip.

8. It is possible to go to Orlando without feeling the need to go to Disney World

9. License plates are also called “Tags”

10. Having a hearing impaired parent can provide some unexpected entertainment while you’re jamming in the car, besides you can turn up the music really loud and they’ll think it’s at normal volume.

11. Your cousin can find an acceptable place to live without your input.

12. Jamming in the car with your cousin on the way to get ice cream is one of the best vacation memories you can ever have.

13. Next time the trip has to be longer.
