Well finals ended yesterday and today I leave around 12:00 or 2:00 to start my vacation with my family. Needless to say I'll miss all of you and I'll miss posting here. I'll be back around January 4 or 5.

But I am going to have fun in the sunny south.

Have fun and hurry back.

Have fun! Hope to see you back on-line soon....

Whats up everybody! I'm here near Huston Texas for the night before heading to New Orleans tomorrow. I see there has been a lot of activity since I left. I hope to catch up when I get home. I'm currently sick as hell with what I call rotten lung disease. I don't know its technical name but it deposits a bunch of phlegm in your lungs and then a few days later fumes start coming up from your lungs. I really hate it and I get it almost every year. Hopefully I will be alright by new year as I plan on having a few drinks and having fun. I will post pics when I get back. See ya guys soon and Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sorry to hear about the lungs, Zim. All the best and thanks for checking in and giving us an update. Hurry back, you've been missed, bro. Take care and belated Merry Christmas to you also. Happy New Year in advance. Cheers.

Thanks burner. I'm buying a bunch of over the counter drugs to try and get it cured fast.

Welcome Zim. Hope they work.

Hope you get that crap cleared up so you can enjoy your vacation. Have a great time and bring me a present back.

He's bringing back two for you. One left and right rotten lung. He's upgraded and doesn't need the old ones anymore.

I work in a hospital lab and ER. I see enough of that crap. I want something cool.

I'm sure you do. I'll put a good word in for ya.

Thanks man, your the best. Do we have to go to the hug thread now?

LOL. You can go there and start without me. Teasing bro.

Heres some pics. Since I ran out of upload space I can only post 5 today. The other two I'll post tomorrow.

Here we go.

Here's one from the first day. I thought it was funny.



I spent two days at sea. The first day off the boat we were at this Mayan Ruin.





The next day we took this.....




To get to this....



And watched this over drinks at Fat Tuesdays




This was by was by far my favorite day of the trip besides the fact my brother almost died. He has his second allergic reaction on the trip on the beach. And apparently he didn't learn to carry benadryl on him from the first one. So we are stuck on the beach and the tour guide makes my brother slam 4 big tequila shots on top of all the stuff we have already had to drink to "forget about the pain". It worked but he couldn't drive. He said he stared to feel all cold and shivery and someone said that's when your organs are starting to shut down. My dad, on a separate tour, managed to get him back to the boat on time and I got to drive the Jeep back to the boat. My brother was waiting for us when we got back and we went to have more drinks at Fat Tuesday. What a way to spend Christmas Eve.

*looks at pics and day dreams it was him instead of you*

Um Zim? That "pirate" didn't chop down with that knife - did he?

That pyramid looks absolutely magnificient - did you climb to the top? How old is it?

It's old. I don't know how old. I didn't get to climb to the top because I went on the whole tour. The guide said I would have time to climb it but he lied. I was going to murder his family for that but then remembered I was in Mexico and that might not be a good idea.

Nice job Zim. Sorry to hear about your brother. Tell him to get a medrol pack or similar or a quick stick/Epi pen from the doctor. The doctor will know. I have to carry stuff year round.
