Who is traveling for christmas? Where you goin?
« on: December 23, 2015, 08:23:52 AM »
Were headed to the great state of Kentucky day after christmas. Been planning for a while. Was just going to be me and momma and the 2 little ones. Leave the truck at home and drive the Traverse. Save some money on fuel. Plenty of room so I asked a buddy of mine to ride along. Has been wanting to go with but we always have all the kids.
So get a phone call. Seems the mother in law got the boys a pair of them little Chinese 4 wheelers, cheap. Well crap. I guess we will drive the truck. Then my daughter decides she wants to go. I'm not going to say no but now we're gonna be crowded in the truck and that sucks.
So I'm thinking I wish that Traverse had a hitch I'd borrow a little trailer. So I get on eBay and get one. My brother and I intall it. Get the trailer from my neighbor yesterday. Check the bearings. All rusty. Replace the bearings. Take the big ramp off it just catches wind anyway. Make a little tail gate out of a 2x6 and I think we are about ready to go. This trip has been a lot of work and we haven't even left yet.

Maybe we can sneak away and do a little fishing.

Safe travels. Better to have to do a little work before than during the trip

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

My Aunt in law had a windfall and bought us Disneyland tickets w/ airfare for Christmas, so tomorrow morning we fly out. Wish me luck, flying out of SeaTac on Christmas eve. The kids don't know anything so we're pretty excited.

Jon,

Pack your toolbag man. Safe travels.

Unfortunately I just left Texas too, PCS'd to GA.  Going to my folks' house for Christmas so they can see the grandbaby.  Not looking forward to a 14 hour drive up the eastern seaboard in rain/severe storms towing a trailer.

Down to the city to spend with our son. Parents are in and coming, going to be on heck of a crowded two bedroom condo. Lol.
Not a fan of being in the city at this time of year. To much hustle and bustle.
I am really missing my pups and cabin, and the peace and quiet.

Safe travels everyone and merry Christmas.

I'm not traveling, but I ain't at home. I'm out in the middle of this oversized pond trying to keep oil flowing out of the earth. It's all part of the job, but man this stinks. Y'all have a Merry Christmas and safe travels.

Flew into LAX on Christmas Eve. Never again. Flew out of LAX and into SeaTac on New years day. never again. everything in between was great at Disney; good security, (I got "randomly selected" for extra pat down/metal detector search about 6 times), good food, kids had a blast and great customer service. We lost a bag of Sophie's Princess Transformation stuff in LAX somewhere, and they replaced it all and are shipping it to us, no cost.

Looks like a great time! The only thing I got to visit was a Liquor store and a Lowes. Had to patch the mother in-laws roof. My wife owns the house but we let her and her BF live there for free. They are suppose to pay the bills, taxes, and do up keep. Yea Suppose to.
