A tale from the Crypt

The month of February was relatively quiet.  The Crazy Man was down in Boca Raton vacationing with his girlfriend.  He left on February 2nd and was scheduled to come back on March 1st.  I only heard from him a handful of times with various requests.  Around the 2nd week of February he had me make reservations for a hotel in Naples and Sarasota.  Him and the girlfriend were planning to do a few side trips. 

The morning after the first getaway, he calls and tells me what a HUGE mistake going to Florida was.  I quote, "I am in emotional distress.  This is the trip from Hell.  I should have NEVER come down here with her."

The Crazy Man is literally stammering his speech because he is so upset and can't get out the words he wants to say.  It is all I can do to keep from laughing at his predicament.  He still had another 10 days with his companion before they were scheduled to fly back home.

With one week left to go in his vacation, he calls me bright and early on a Sunday morning and says, "You will never guess why I am calling.  What is the craziest thing I could tell you?" I wasn't in the mood to play games and said, "I don't know.  Please just tell me what is going on."

The Crazy Man replies, "We want to stay down here longer.  Can you please see if it is cheaper to change the return flight ticket or if it makes more sense to just buy new one-way tickets home?"

Seriously?  You've got to be kidding me.  Nope!  Instead of coming back home on Friday, March 1st, The Crazy Man and his girlfriend would like to extend their trip by four whole days and come back on Tuesday, March 5th.  When I researched his options and called him back 5 minutes later, I am put on hold, while I hear him argue with the girlfriend on what he wants to do.  Apparently she doesn't want to come back on Tuesday.  Monday, yes.  But not Tuesday.  O.M.G.!!

The Crazy Man gave in, agreed to coming back on Monday and the tickets were officially changed.  $204 later and they both can spend an extra weekend in Boca Raton together.

I am not sure Boca will ever be the same.
