Feb. 2nd, 2024 10:14 pmSo, Wales apparently is serious about going to the Caribbean.
I got an email today at work with this LINK for St. Lucia.
Wales:I found an all-inclusive package for $698 in St. Lucia. I assume airfare is separate. I put in the dates over your birthday in March – March 8 to March 12. What do you think?
ME: Looks beautiful.
Wales: I know! Want to do it? Let me see if I can take off of work.
ME: Yeah sure. (I delete from the email "but I'm leery, since this kind of reminds me of the last time we attempted to plan a trip to the Caribbean, way back in 2009 - which did not end at all well for me." Yes, folks I've got serious deja vue about this...and I'm leery.)
Wales:P.S. That was $698 per day. Not for the whole trip.
I get home, talk to mother, and discuss this. We're both leery. Mother remembers all too well the last time this happened...so I've decided not invest emotionally in this idea at all. We'll see what happens.
I open my email.
Wales: I’m really sorry. I can’t go to St. Lucia b/c I don’t have a passport. I’m really bummed.
I burst out laughing. I find this hilarious. [But you'd have to know the entire back story of 2009, to understand.]
Me:Want to pick a place that you can go to - without needing a passport? Like maybe Florida Keys? Or Hawaii? [We could even do Disney for that matter.]
Good news? I no longer have to worry about slimming down to fit into a bathing suit.

It's been that sort of an amusing day. Well, if you have my sense of humor. Not everyone does.
Crazy workplace was amusing too - but very hard to explain to folks. You kind of had to be there? It was also kind of cathartic in a weird sort of way. I got to watch people who had been annoying me - get their hats handed to them through no fault of my own.
