Poor CC (which stands for CRAZY Connie)......truly believed we would be so cruel as to lure her all the way to Austin to sit in a very hot and humid airport as a joke......Now CC would we really do something like that? Well, maybe we would......one never knows with this bunch. CC however killed time (and several margaritas) sitting in the Airport bar trying desperately to pick up a pilot or two.........none reportedly fell to her feminine ways.

My arrival, after an 11 hour drive, finds my hotel room missing CC. So I head next door and upon entering the bar discover I wouldn’t be able to spot CC in the crowd....so I had her paged.....And let me tell you....she didn’t like that one bit...LOL.

Clovaaa and Badders finally arrive at the Ramada Inn!!! The big moment is upon us. CC goes running down the hallway to clovaaa’s room and literally body slams poor Badders into the next room!!! This was only the beginning of CC’s torture on Badder’s poor body. We end up talking until well past 1:00 am in the morning....a long day for us all!

After a late start, our day really didn’t begin until well after Noon....me and Badders drop off CC and Clovaaa at a Bombay Bicycle Club (BBC) down the street from the hotel and headed off to Higland Mall to do some shopping and boy can the Badders shop!! (His Mastercard bill is going to be a killer this time....LOL). After being gone less than 2 hours......me and Badders finally discover the girls in BBC in a back corner and with 4 or 5 margaritas under their belts already. We enjoyed each other in the great talk and drinks and dinner later on. We finally left the club to await the arrival of the infamous Rush713 at 11:00pm.

After staying up all night together (they claim they didn’t DO IT), Clovaaa and Rush713 were unable to make the early morning drive to San Antonio to do Sea World....so me and Badders left and headed down the road to SA. Clovaaa and Rush713 showed up just in time for our famous "Swim with the Beluga Whales". First, the wetsuits.....that was hilarious in its own right. Then we marched down the plank like Astronauts walking to their spaceship.....wearing our wetsuits that touted the Sea World Emblem!!! Did we feel important.....damn right we did!!!

The swim with the whales was just too short dammitt....but many pics were taking, including the Badders and whale smooching pic. That’s was how lucky Badders’ got on the whole trip....LOL. Besides the pinch of a lifetime from CC........what more could a man ask for coming all the way from England?

Upon returning from Sea World at about 11:00pm, no CC was to be found.......So Rush713 and Clovaaa took up the challenge of finding her. All I had was a note stating she was "Next Door". Well they went in search and looked high and looked low and finally around 1:00am, CC arrived with Woody, Rush281 and to our surprise Ginny was there too!!!! Seems that the 4 of them had parked themselves back in BBC and had had a few rounds themselves. They ended up in our room until almost 4:00 am....with CC asleep (passed out) on the bed as we chatted. Of course, Clovaaa and Rush713 had locked themselves up in his room for the night. Supposedly for the first of several rounds....LOL.

We rolled into DeeDee’s house around 6:00 pm with a small computer camera in hand, thanks to Clovaaa. Dee and Dragon were absolutely wonderful to us all. The boys made us a sign and there was plenty of food and beer, then more beer and then even more beer. A good time was had by all of us! They allowed us to chat on their computers and beat up there boys. Then Dee and Dragon joined us for a road trip into downtown Austin.......also known as 6th street. We made our way to Maggie Mae’s place where CC then took over and kept us all laughing the night thru.

CC decided that Rush281 needed a good lay and set out to pick up a girl for him. I must say that CC can pick up girls better than most guys can....LMAO. The winner of the night was the tall, blonde lesbian in black gogo boots!!!!! Rush713 kept telling 281 to just ask if he could watch her and her girlfriend....LOL. But in the end, 281 was alone and but a new friendship was started, so not all was lost! We finally rolled in around 4:00am ...again...but not all went to bed, some remained awake but occupied.....and they know who they are.

And then it was all over. Woody and Rush281 headed back home to Houston first thing in the morning. I started my long drive home around 1:00pm. CC managed to persuade her hubby to let her come home early. While Badders and Clovaaa lounged away the next couple of days at the Embassy Suites. I got home on Monday afternoon totally exhausted from the youngsters hauling my ass around for the last 4 days.....but I would do it again in a heartbeat!!
