Mr GinGin, Draw us a comparison of your decompression this week as opposed to the week after PYS.

Well….after PYS I just want to sit in a chair in my back yard….drink excessively, burn things, drive over my neighbors cars/bushes/bird baths/etc… and try to get the senior citizens to come over and join me…maybe even try to see if I can get one of them in a medivac as well. I hate TV, traffic, people, neighbors, etc… I feel like how I imagine a Vietnam vet feels once he rotates back to the world…lost. But at least I am left with the memories of PYS, and that gets me through the first week or so.

After a cruise I am also lost…cause no one has scheduled my fun, and no one is telling me when to eat, have fun, stop having fun, stand in a line, get off the boat, get on the boat, drink, not drink, what to wear, where to poop, how to poop, how to flush a toilet… All the while I’m surrounded by people who are sure they are having the best time of their sad lives. But I don’t quite miss the islands so much, they are just like Joliet, Romeoville, and Bolingbrook. They are both dirty and stinky. So its just like home…I just keep my eyes forward, sunglasses on, shouting, “NOTHING…I WANT NOTHING!” I actually almost looked forward to coming back to the 9* weather. Then I hit O’hare airport and I realized the place for me is the middle of no where with a group of seniors, sweating my publicly viewable balls off, drinking handles of rum while sitting in a river.

I haven't been on a cruise but I think I would take PYS over a cruise any day. I don't think Carnival would go for throwing random flammable objects into fires.

No matches or lighters allowed on the boat....thats rule #627.

For me, it all boils down to "bang for my buck".
For my money, cruises are not a good value.
After taking lots of different vacations......I always go back to camping. Doesn't matter if it is in the back of my pick up or in a RV, when planning a trip I am trying to find a cool place to camp. Simple as that. Camping was the only way we ever took vacations when I was a kid, so I guess my roots are good. I never stayed in a hotel till I was 19 and it was only because I had to.
 
Ive been on 4 cruises and 15 or so islands. I go with my inlaws cause its what they like to do and they manage to pay for it. Dont get me wrong it is better than winter in Chicago, but the crowds, structure and rules are not for me!! But lots of people do need to be told what to do.

This is the reason why I don't go to the Caribbean, Mexico, or Europe. I could easily head to Pilsen, Lawndale, or Milwaukee Ave. to see the same sights and eat the same s*** food while being accosted by mooching street urchins. I will however go back to Hawaii. Even the homeless folks there were cool to deal with.

Thanks for posting that Tom. Way too funny. Robin doesn't help wrench but loves to cook, mow the yard and shovel snow. Lets me spend more time in the garage. Wait, I should have more done on my 40 than I do.
