   Mini Vacation

   So I’m finally home from Florida. It was a pretty awesome stay there. Only thing that got to me was the damn heat!
   
   I left LA on Wednesday and got to Miami that night. With all the stuff that was going on with the airlines and the car I didn’t leave Miami until around midnight. The drive was pretty chill, I really enjoy driving and late at night when there aren’t many cars around it’s just so relaxing. I even got to see a Key Deer, which are endangered. I got to Key West at about 3:00 am and met up with Kris at >Westwinds Inn, which is where we slept while I was there. We drove around a bit when I got there because I was still hyped up on Monster and 5 Hour Energy. Ended up grabbing some breakfast from McDonald’s and then heading back to the Inn.
   
   When we got up we pretty much just grabbed some lunch then went to Kris’ house to watch “Something, Something, Something, Dark Side”. Got a haircut as well, then went on a sunset cruise. It was pretty funny cuz a bunch of girls got drunk and started dancing on the tables out on the main deck. The sunset was awesome and I got to see the “green flash” that can be seen when the sun goes down. Yet another thing that I got to see and Kris didn’t :D After that we walked Duval Street for a bit and then went back to the Inn to lounge around in the pool. After that it was Denny’s for dinner and then back to the Inn to just chill.
   
   Friday was a pretty mellow day since it was Kris’ graduation. We hit the pool again in the morning and Kris’ uncle gave us some wine to drink. It was pretty good, forgot the name of it though, but relaxing in a pool with some good wine is pretty win to me. After that we had lunch at a chinese restaurant that Kriszy (Kris’ sister) really likes and then headed to his house so he could get ready.
   
   Went to his graduation where he had to give a speech. He kind of sounded like Kermit the Frog a few times and I was trying so hard not to laugh because I had read his speech ahead of time and he used the word “stroke” a lot. I know, immature but I thought it was pretty lulz.
   
   After that we had dinner with his family at Benihana. The cook was super funny and the food was awesome. Then after that we went back to the Inn and got ready to head out. We hit up Duval Street again and I got pretty drunk at this club called “Bigun’s”. It was pretty funny because I was sitting right in front of a pole dancer trying to get a beer when all of a sudden she kicks me in the head while doing a spin. She looked so worried and kept asking if I was ok. She kissed me a bunch of times and something else that I won’t say. Also made Kris drink his first beer since he doesn’t really do the whole bar hop/clubbing thing. He did seem to enjoy himself though since the pole dancer that was in the middle of the bar had a pretty nice ass :P
   
   So Saturday comes and we pretty much just go around Duval to do some souvenir shopping. My mom and cousins said they didn’t want anything so I just bought them shirts. We pretty much just chilled the rest of the day then packed up and headed to his house where I’d spend the night in his sister’s room until I had to make the drive back to Miami at 3:00 am.
   
   The drive back to Miami was pretty chill as well. I saw a shooting star and three more Key Deer on the way. When I got to the airport though, that was a whole different story.
   
   I got to the airport four hours early and then after sitting there for an hour I get a call saying that my flight has been canceled and that the next flight was in 12 hours. I go to the booking agent to find out what’s going on and he tells me that I’ve been moved to a flight 36 hours from that time because it was the only one with open seats. I was kind of pissed but just asked him if I had any other options. He ended up putting me on standby for a flight scheduled to leave an hour earlier than my original flight so since I was already there I took it. Luckily there were open seats so I managed to get on the plane and arrive back to LA sooner than expected.
   
   I get to the airport and then turns out my bag wasn’t on the flight with me. So I had to wait in line for about an hour and fill out some information. They said my bag should be arriving sometime tomorrow and they’ll give me a call when they’re going to deliver it to my house. Seems kind of messed up, but not much I can do so no sense getting pissy over it.
   
   So I pretty much had an epic weekend. Wish it lasted longer, but oh well. There’s always next time.
