As our Spring holiday nears

Filed Under expat, regular, tout le fromage 

…I have come to notice that I am planning, quite possibly, the white-trashiest vacation ever.

Here’s what’s on the list (so far) for our upcoming trip back to the American Midwest:

  • Firearms lesson and range time.
  • Tattoo work. Call it, an expansion of my already colourful body art.
  • An evening of ogling and over-priced drinking in a strip club. (Gotta love the weak American dollar! Lap dances for everyone!)
  • Gorging at Taco Bell.
  • Meeting my Mom’s pet possum. (If Gerald hasn’t already moved on from her garage. Yes, she named him Gerald.)
  • Edgerton. (My friends in Wisconsin will understand that one without being offended by it. That’s part of why I love them.)
  • Waffles. Possibly at ‘bar-time’.
  • All-You-Can-Eat Friday Night Fish Fry.

There is more to our visit that the above list of amazingly exotic options, but it really struck me as amusing when I was getting them down on paper. Good God— we should pack Neil’s banjo and plan a canoe trip while we’re at it. ;)

    I’m glad that you said white trashiest vacation instead of most redneck vacation. Edgerton could be included in either! Can’t wait to see you guys!

    Alas, when the tons of snow finally left, so did Gerald. If next winter is as bad as this past one; I wouldn’t be surprised if memories of a soft, warm bed and a mix of dog and cat food brought him back! I actually only took care of him because the snow was so bad, he couldn’t find food; but I wouldn’t mind if he came back. He was the perfect guest…non-aggressive, didn’t bite me, ate whatever I gave him, and went outside to “use the facilities”! What more could I ask? :D
