and you're going and you're going and you're going and .. PUERTO RICO!

AP, UC and I took a little trip to Puerto Rico last week. We had many adventures and many, many laughs. One of the hardest parts was getting directions to different places on the islands. Most people we asked gave some variation on the title above ... and you're going and you're going and you're going and you're there! All about process I guess -- forget those pesky details like right and left turns.

Along the way we sampled the local food.....

And the local drink of course ....

We climbed a mountain in a rainforest in ... of all things! a driving rainstorm....

We did all sorts of wonderful things ... except use the hot tub!

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Arizona...

Look who we ran into at the Chicago Airport..it's always good to see a familiar face.

Unkie had made reservations at this charming, yet rustic villa.

Antie was having no part of it and this is where we ended up staying. A real "step down" as far as Unkie was concerned. Get it? Step down? I crack myself up sometimes.

Sedona, on the other hand, was a step up-way up. See Unkie pointing? He's a little acrophobic which he blames on the years he spent on ladders and on top of roofs.

Antie kept driving and we were rewarded by this view. Where does someone get enough money to buy a whole mountain and build a mansion on it? Thus destroying an otherwise natural vista and changing the ecological balance! Not to mention blocking the view of lovely Sedona. Didn't mean to sound bitter.

Antie climbed all those stairs just because Unkie insisted, and you know how he gets when he's being insistent, that we follow in the footsteps of the honorable John McCain and Sarah Pallin (John and Sarah who?) and eat in the same restaurant they ate in when they were campaigning. Unkie even ordered the same lunch that John ate. Want to know what it was? Yeah, me neither.

Then Antie had to climb all the way back down. (This place was an insane assylum at one time and a bit creepy not to mention a mile above sea level. huff, huff, pant pant.)



Antie took this picture from the patio of "our" condo. At this point Unkie was getting a bit demanding and Antie was kept busy throwing him beer to keep him happy. Oh Yeah, Unkie insists on mentioning that this was his 131st consecutive month of golfing. Do you care? Yeah, me neither!
