It was 3.30 am Orlando time and Mrs BiGGy could hear those travellers cheques just calling her. Mom, with her eye for the bargain, was up too. With the telly on full blast, Biggy and junior thought that they had best get up.
We left for the premium outlets by about five. Mom was at the door with that look that said "No-one is getting my bargains", DD was behind her with her cash ready and Mrs BiGGy just had a big smile on her face. Junior was all ready for Vans skatepark and BiGGy was wondering how he was going to get his hands on the spending money.
BiGGy cheered up as his faithfull other woman directed him to the premium outlets. The car hadn't even been put into park and all that could be seen was the smoke off the girlies shoes as they stormed the building.
"When are we going to Vans dad?" ,asked junior. BiGGy just shook his head ,not knowing where his next penny was coming from.
The ladies were found in the Adidas outlet, looking like they had lost the plot. So many bargains, not enough car boot space. Biggy tried to find the wife to persuade her to part with some cash. Mrs BiGGy looked shellshocked at the thought that she would't be able to buy her case full of trainers. After much sobbing by BiGGy, the wife gave in and said,"Show me what you want and i'll get it for you."
Well, BiGGy was armed with his walkie talkie and was off. Mrs BiGGy didn't stand a chance and was running to timberland before she knew it.
After a while, we realised that mom was missing and set about searching for her. Tummies were rumbling and junior was still on his quest for his mecca, Vans skatepark.
We found mom under a pile of bags saying,"Its not much, we'll get through customs no problem."
After a trip to ponderosa, we made our way up to Festival Bay. Junior was foaming at the mouth. He had $200 to spend on his new boards and it was burning a hole in his pockets.
They must have seen him coming. "There are these wheels and there are these wheels. These ones are the best."
"I'll take the best ones please" said junior, his eyes glazed over. The amount of choice was just too much.Junior just couldn't control himself and picked the best of everything for his two boards. Then came the time to go to the till. Well, time seemed to stand still for junior that day. With the total coming to a whopping $354 and junior only had $200, all eyes fell on Mrs BiGGy to stump up the rest.
Tears ran down Mrs BiGGy's face as she had to part with her money. Meanwhile, BiGGy was taking notes on how his son had wangled money so easily.
Father and son walked off with looks of triumph on their faces.
BiGGy and son spent an hour in vans whilst they left the girlies going round the shops commando style.
Juniors time was well spent in his dream destination.
"I did some wicked rock to fakies dad". BiGGy nodded in agreement at whatever that was and was just happy to carry on being David Bailey.
After a day of shopping, ponderosa was calling and the tread had worn out on the girlies trainers. BiGGy was determined to get some money and so grabbed the change form the travellers check at the ponderosa counter.The look of pity for Mrs BiGGy from the girl on till said it all. BiGGy just smirked and put his well earned cash in his pocket.
Another day had gone well.BiGGy had topped up his holiday fund, junior had been to skate heaven and the girls had filled up the trunk.
Islands of adventure tomorrow. Yippee.
