Went to Drunken Jack’s for dinner – there was an over 2 hour wait. We’ve been to this place before and the food – while okay – isn’t really worth the wait time. But, it’s tradition, so we waited.<\/div>\n

Took a trip to the Piggly Wiggly for food and supplies. We didn’t have a “pig card” and so were denied the benefits of the “greenbacks”. Whatever that means. The crew played a round of “scene it” – I was the MC and tried to keep things on track. <\/div>\n

I tried my first Crab Cake today – it was quite good to my surprise. I also finished up the 4th of my vampire books I brought. Hey, if all you do all day is swim and sit in the sun, the books go by pretty fast. I swam twice again today – and got called in from the water by the lifeguard. Apparently, the water I was in was too deep and I had to go to “waist deep”. Let me tell you, it’s tough to swim in waist deep water in the ocean. <\/div>\n

I hung out with my room-mate’s niece and nephew and we threw “toy-pedoes” at each other in the pool for a couple hours. I think they wore me out. It also might have been the short swim in the ocean – the waves and the wind were so rough that I ended up about a 1\/2 mile behind where I started. I cut the swim short since I was tired and didn’t want to get hurt. Later that evening, my room-mate wanted to send a note to a message board he’s on for people that meet up while on vacation. So, reluctantly, I set up my PSP to connect to the free Internet. He wrote up a note, I showed him how to input text – and then he realized the “novel” he’d written would take forever to enter. He re-wrote it and I put the text in. Technically speaking, this wasn’t “my” Internet usage, but I still felt a little dirty.<\/div>\n

The rest of the crew left early in the morning, but my room-mate and I packed up to wait for the new condo to be available. (we couldn’t get the same place for 2 weeks). While we were waiting, we head to Books-A-Million to restock (I was almost out of books) and when we got back we unpacked again and I hit the ocean again – this time, I had to dodge surfers. <\/div>\n
