So off to the Malls
she did go
But it wasn’t for
shoes, oh No
She still needed two
more tops
Neither Tank tops nor
Crops
But sleeves so her
shoulders wont show
Still avoiding Nantucket
like the plague but he’s REALLY struggling here.
First… she decided that the NEUTRAL Clarke sandals WOULD go with mostly
everything, so the shoe search was suspended but then…
Remember the two missing blouses she had yet to layout for
the pack? Just two blouses… TWO FREAKING
BLOUSES!!! What could be so hard.
3 malls, 42 stores, 23 miles, and some serious
Chuck y patience were expended in the
early hours of the Friday night and what did it net???? 1 FREAKIN’ blouse!!!
By 9PM he had had it and declared it was time to eat, and
headed for the nearest mall exit as she trailed behind mumbling Dragon Speak
and something about not having anything to wear in Cuba . Oh yeah… Right!?!
Meanwhile, Brian has half the 1989 Monsignor Pace Varsity
Basketball team partying at the house after the funeral who on our arrival were
headed out for Wings and beer [after they emptied my fridge and beverage center] and promised to
have him back by 5AM to take us to the airport. SAY WHAT?!?!
After rummaging the closet one last time, she finally finds another blouse to go with the recent
purchase… along with 3 other, previously unworthy tops to now be added to the
rapidly approaching weight limit suitcase. A bit of juggling between bags, and addition of
a “Beach Bag” carry on with towels for Varadero’s sugary beach, along with
excess STUFF that wont fit in the bags, and the Packing Ballet finally concludes.
Whew… just in time for a 1AM shower and off to
Zzzzzzzzz land until the real Departure Chaos begins, which may or may not come
by E- Mail.
This may be the last ONLINE post to NOWAT- Habana2013, unless Chuck y
finds a safe way to post from the balky internet at the Hotel Nacional De Cuba.
That being the case, we will revert back to an all E- Mail NOWAT as we did from CHINA because of the Great Firewall
and post all the emails sequentially to the Blog on our arrival home.
Or, he may just compose each days events and post them all
on return to the good ole US of A.
Stay tuned… this could get VERY interesting.
