Okay where was I, oh yes, the blow up our bodies. Ok, here is the scene, my block goes crazy with letting off fireworks, so Diane and i take a walk down the block and find a really cool launcher, so we grab it and walk back to the house. Now keep in mind that neither one of us knew that morters are built to come out of tubes specific for their size, dah. Ok, now I get it. The tubes we had were 1 1/2" and were blowing apart, so the 2" pvc tubes that we found, we thought, cool this will withstand the blast. Well, the container survived, but the morter ball came up and blasted out sideways, showering my friend and me with hot sparks. I got lucky, only got my leg in two spots, my buddy, Diane, well it hit her in the chest, lit her hair on fire and burned her face, worst under the lower lip. Her shirt had sulfer burns on it and put some holes in her t-shirt. Gads what an ordeal that was, would of loved to of been on the hillside watching the whole thing rather than being part of the big blowout. Luckily she was ok, well aside from her lower lip that is. I can laugh now, thinking back on it, both of us jumping around waving our arms, silly and crazy girls we were, or are. It will be a fourth that I will not forget.
Danger, danger, what out here comes INDE! lol
It sure was good to see her, will be traveling home in 3 weeks and will see her again, going home for a high school reunion, visit Mom and sister. Fun, fun. Hoping for a calm vacation, lol, that is just not me, what am I saying? Things always have to be memorable, sure this trip will be.
Welcome to the neewbies!! Paz an melissah!! Glad you joined in, this is a great way to know some folks b/4 the trip. Look forward to your ideas on what you gals are thinking of doing down there and what is going on where you are now. Usually we pick a spot to meet and greet, like the outside bar on the first day of the trip. There is the kodak site that we could post pics on of us and other cool things in our lives to share with the group here. I can get some stuff started and if anyone wants can go in there and post, it is secure and can only be viewed by our group. Do I here some takers?
Ok, yes to ziplining! Who else wanted to zipline?
How aboot scuba diving?
Yes, to the water park, who wanted to do that?
Well, it will be fun to get a group of us together to do some things, there will be so much to choose from and of course we will be meeting so many other people to go do stuff with, but it is nice to set some things up b/4 hand.
Ok, time is a ticking away and soon we will be off in wonderland, yippee!!
Have a great week catch ya all later!
