New Year's Eve is upon us, Hooboy is in Rio where we all know he MUST be having fun. There are no reviews up for two days, and that's all right with me.

Can we live without reviews for a few days so Hoo can concentrate on relaxing and having fun? I know I can. I hope he has a great time!

After all Hooboy has to put up with he deserves any and all fun and rest he can get. And if it mean I will have to live without the reviews, well I guess I will. They do help me live out my life vicariously tho. Guess I will have to behave until the posting resumes. Hope you have a great time Hooboy!

I hope he is enjoying himself! :)

 

Everyone needs a vacation eventually and everyone deserves to have one.

 

We will make it a few days without any new reviews. :)

I've know The Hoo generally doesn't shirk his duties even when on "holiday," so the fact that he hasn't posted anything since Saturday tells me he's in a technical black hole.

 

Remember his trip to P town last summer? Same thing happened then. He went there thinking he'd find a DSL connection only to discover that not all areas of the country are equally equipped. Hopefully, he will roll with the punches and use the time to truly decompress.

 

After all, no one likes a tired old Hoo. ;-)

Back In The USSA

 

As Britanny Spears would say, "oh, my God!"

 

Packed all my swanky summer stuff for a wild Sao Paulo experience only to get to the gate and Newark and was told, "sir, you don't have a visa....you cannot get on this flight.

 

I had been subletting an apartment in NYC and it was no longer mine, the hotels were all booked and I was gonna use up those FF miles. Two gates down, they announced, "Last call for Paris."

 

I hopped on my fancy new Treo 300 phone/PDA (which I am returning as soon as I get to NYC), got the FF desk, the spit out a boarding pass.

 

Meantime, the plane to Sao Paulo was delayed because they had to take my bag off of it.

 

As I'm running to the gate, the Continental agent on the phone asked if I would like a Hertz or Avis car while I was in Paris. NO!!!

 

How about a hotel?

 

YES...only one stipulation....broadband, DSL or whatever they call high speed there. Gave him my credit card number, including the secret 3 digit number on the back of the card and he was giving me the confirmation number, when the super-fine flight attendant said, "sir, the door is closed, we are backing up and you have to shut your phone off."

 

I told the agent on the phone that I would find out what hotel it was when I arrived in Paris and hung up.

 

When I got to C. DeGaulle, I could not find anyone who could tell me where my hotel was. I was dragging a trolly filled with luggage packed for summer in Brazil and having to go up and down stairs...

 

Anyway, my brand new IBM computer fell out tumbled down a flight of stairs and crashed and busted. So I had the spectre of paying outrageous prices in Paris for a computer that would only sneer at me or fly back to the USA.

 

I could not get into New York because the flights were full for the holidays, so I had to stick with a little town that had a CompUSA with a real cute salesguy.

 

Coincidentally, I ran into a great many friends I had not seen for a long time -- many of them fuck buddies, not escorts -- and we brought the New Year in style.

 

Things happen. It was fun being in Paris for one day and never leaving the airport. The 12 hour flight back went by quicker because I did not have a laptop to work on, so I just slept the whole way

HooBoy, this could only happen to you & only you could walk away smiling. That's what we love about you. :* By the way, this reminds me of that Rhoda episode (I wish Nick@Nite hadn't removed her from their lineup & replaced her with dreck like Cosby but that's another post) where she decides her life is boring so she & her sister Brenda write down on little scraps of paper 3 things they've always wanted to do but never had the nerve & they have to pull one out of a hat & do it. Brenda has to call Woody Allen (she got his number when he'd cashed a check at her bank...remember she was a teller?) and Rhoda has to fly to Paris for the weekend. Not to say that you remind me of Rhoda, HooBoy. You are definitely more Mary. No, wait...actually, you're Sue Ann. And I'm the whore-with-a-heart-of-gold that Mary meets in jail. :+

I suspect the real reason is because he's just been enjoying himself too much to spend time staring at a computer screen--good for him.

I was in Rio this past March and there are lots of very inexpensive high-speed internet cafes around both Copacabana and Ipanema, so lack of access can't be the reason.

It's gotta be the sun, the sand, and the BOYS!

Hugs,

Okay--I should have read on to see Hooboy's already-posted report before making my post about Rio!

Some days my blonde roots really show.

Hugs,

Hey Chuck,

 

I am posting a lot tonight because I am having to download the website onto my new TOSHIBA and it's gonna take a LONG TIME.

 

First, I had a DELL with cute surferboy, then I went to IBM -- big blue, what can you say? And now Toshiba. The salesguy at Comp USA was so cute and funny (meaning he laughed at all my Paris jokes), that I had to go with his recommendation.

 

He told me he was in Peru once, riding in a bus with the windows open and someone outside the bus, jumped up and stole his watch off his wrist.

 

I couldn't top that one, so I just settled for a condolence hug or a free Leather London Fog computer bag.

 

Didn't get the first, did get the second. :-)

 

He also suggested I get a lock to secure my computer to my ass!

You must have an enormous amount of patience. I can't imagine going through your ordeals without blowing a gasket. And what is with you and your laptops?! I'm starting to think that maybe you're not meant to have one.
