PLANKY DOES PANAMA Who would have thought

[Planky]

Geez...


I take a sabatical to Tibet to study meditation and I get back and there's this big green thingie growing in the living room... shedding little green thingies...(I did NOT plant that before I left) (or if I did... wow... that Miracle Gro works...) This guy named Bing was crowing about a White Christmas (which I think he went a little too far seeing as my green Planky mobile is now stuck in a SNOW DRIFT.... There's little white fluffy things coming out of the sky and as hard as I try... I can't put them back... My nice tropical surroundings here at Casa Planky have turned icy - have you ever seen me ice skate??? I can unintentionally outdo Scott Hamilton in the back flip without even trying...

The TV in the living room got ALOT thinner... I guess it went on a diet... and it's something they call HD... Like I wanted to see Keith Olbermans nostrels any larger...

& to all of you who invested your 401K's in Planky Inc. All I can say is... I'm really sorry. But I had to pay for the trip somehow...

So... it's time to clear off the desk... (Who left all these chocolate mice laying around here??? ) Bribe photobucket and lets see if I can't get tossed off the Disboards...

Next up... ARUBA!!!!

 

[Planky]

Ok… so… we’re finally at Aruba…

And just a note… every couple of days on this adventure I’d have to speak up and frankly complain that I was getting absolutely NO time BEHIND the camera… who wants to see pictures of ME all the time??? So I grabbed the camera before anyone woke up that morning and headed straight out the door with it!!! Shell & Grammy B finally agreed after I held all 3 of the 2G cards for ransom.

So this is MY tour of Aruba… seen through MY eye…

Grammy, Aunt Shell and I had a See and Sea tour planned for today. But our tour didn’t leave until later in the day so we decided to have a leisurely breakfast and then head off the ship to do some shopping…

Gotta compliment the Captain that day…nice parking…

I learned a new word that day…

TANZANITE… Oh… and ROLEX…

I call this one… Big guy with Machete…

If this had been my bus… I might have stayed in school a little longer…

We got back to the ship to get ready for our excursion…

I wanted to know just where our stateroom was located so I stole a napkin from room service and nearly tied my skinny little arms together trying to get it onto the verandah…

Coming up tomorrow... Where'd all the palm trees go???

Hey Planky, nice to have you back!!!

 

[figment52]

PLANKEY is back

 

[Planky]

OHHHHHH HOW COULD I DO THAT???!!! I left you hanging in ARUBA!!!! (nice place, but still.... )

I am indeed still here...

I begged... I cried... finally I just crawled back into the cardboard box and pleaded with Bendy until she sent me back to Shell and Grammy B so I could get my little green furry butt in gear and get this trip report back going...

Shell's computer has been sort of on life support so the other day I took a rubber mallet to it and it started to pay attention... lets see how long it lasts...

Photobucket on the other hand... is another story all together...

So... please be patient... I'll be back asap to update...

 

[Planky]

& to give you a peek at how I spent my St. Pat's day...

I'd like you to meet my new little buddy... Yes... his name really IS "Sqeeze my Tummy..." (he also sings a good rendition of "When Irish Eyes are smiling")

& he can't believe he ate the whole thing...

Hey!!!! Hey you!!!! Get this little green furry butt another beer!!!

Hi All!!!!

Yes... I'm still alive... sort of... Been out and around this summer a bit... will be doing a TR soon for that... will let you know the link when I get around to it... (is it winter already???)

I have a new fan who's reading... Hi Iris!!!!

Shell & Iris go WAY back.. (high school... ) They've recently reconnected on Facebook and have both agreed that with massive therapy and meds, they can now gossip about most of the people they went to school with, without breaking out in hives...

For all of the new cruisers who are hoping that they will be on the PC cruise on the Wonder in 2011... I'm right there with you... While I would LOVE to have the Walt or Roy suite... My piggy bank says nothing above a Cat 5 again... Grammy B want's her verandah back and Shell just wants to get served on a silver platter again. (ok.. maybe it was plastic tray...)

Since we are dreaming of another PC cruise... I will restart my TR. I am totally ashamed to have left all of my loyal fans in Aruba... I apologize greatly, but my Doctoral Thesis was due and it's really hard to type with only two thumbs...

Sooooooo......... Lets go....

Ok... so I have to explain something... (do I??? Nahhhhh..... )

I only travel with the best...

In this case... Royalty...

I give to you...

The Royal Delegation from the Kingdom of Freedonia...

(yeah... I know... we named ourselves after a broke country in a Marx Bros. movie... ) (Shell didn't know we were broke until we got home...)

We even have a flag and a moto... Live Fabulous or Die...

In this photo are...

Her Serene Highness... The Queen Mum... Barbara...

Her Royal Highness... Michelle...

The Royal Diplomats ... Ian and Sukie...

& the me... the Court Jester...

(doesn't Capt. Thord look SO thrilled to have his picture taken with us??? Maybe we should have given him some Royal Freedonian M&M's... )

Joining in and all caught up in one day....... it's not so hard to do when someone (Planky) only posts on average of once a month

Now that I'm here, feel free to continue with the trip report

 

[Planky]

Never Fear!!!! I've made a pledge to myself... to get this
TR done before my next cruise!!!!

or should I say my next trip to Wally World!!!!
