Why Did The Gator Cross The Road? Obviously Not To Get To New York

so i am sitting in the lobby of a Hampton Inn in Fort Myers Florida because the plane home got cancelled.... of course. this has been the first time ive even been able to get onto the internet for more than five seconds in a week. so here comes one hell of a post:

the trip to florida was fine, so the trip started off well. when we got to florida, it was sunny and about 85 degrees. it is such a beautiful state all around, i mean if you looked at the sky there were hardly any trees cutting off the view of the sky. you could see all the way to the horizon almost anywhere you were on the island, the island being Marco Island. the sunsets were unbelievable. so we went on an airboat ride and saw some gators, which was insane they were right up next to the boat, granted they basically are pet alligators to the people who run the airboats, but it was still really cool. before that though, on our way over to the ride a small gator went flyin out of the bushes and sprinted across the highway and into the water. the ride itself was insane too. he would take such sharp turns that i thought the boat would flip over into the everglades. i also learned stuff on the airboat ride too. like while we were riding he said that the reason the glades were so dark in color was cuz of the mangrove trees. they have red and black mangrove trees, which make up the everglades. they give off either a red or black tint to the water, which is how they get their names and also how the glades get its color. the food for the most part was spectacular. for our last dinner on the island i had dolphin (mahi mahi... not flipper) in a mango cherry and banana sauce. it was so good i did a knife and fork dance (i will demonstrate when i get back to lasalle). we also went to this Native American Tiki thing where we learned how to make something that they give to people who they care about most it is real simple but really sortta cool, unfortunately i cant say what it is yet. my sister dad and i went fishing one day and i caught a 5' tarpen on a spinning rod, which really shouldnt have been able to hold the fish on, but yea i finally got him in and he was a bamf i had trouble holding him up by myself. there were also the days where i just laid out on the beach and did absolutely nothing. the only downside to the trip so far was that i was the only one who was above the age of 16 and under 45. that is until thursday when i met this 19 and 20 yr old who were there stayin with their moms. both them had bfs so any kind of hookup was out of the question. they left the day after i met them which also meant that i had no one to hang out with. but anyway ive made this post relatively short so ill get to the shit end of the vacation. we got to the airport today like 3 hrs before our flight was supossed to leave and we saw that the flight was cancelled. so we tried to get on the earlier flight to ny waiting on standby that was delayed and basically left the same time but they only had three empty seats and well there were four of us. of course my mom wouldnt get on the plane w/o my dad and she didnt want me here alone, so we all had to stay. we went downstairs to get r bags only to find out that my bag was the only one that they couldnt get off the plane before it had to leave. so right about now my bag is being unloaded at jfk airport and i have no clothes left. r flight leaves at 11:40 am tomorrow and i am more than ready to be back in ny.

only a few more weeks till im back at school and seeing all my friends again. speaking of which i have only seen one of my friends from high school since i started lasalle. i dont no how i feel about that. i mean im fine with it because i have my friends frm school and other people who i didnt go to school with but know really well, but it's also like well i spent four yrs with you and we said we were real good friends, yet i havent seen you in like a year and it doesnt seem to bother anyone. anyways im off to sleep on the shit beds here and hopefully i'll be back in ny before 3pm tomorrow.

Later Dayz
