Observation for what might happen when a group of “old” friends get together for a yearly trip (interpret the word in quotes however you want:)
You might laugh…or you might cry…no you will definitely laugh!
You might sit through a karaoke rendition of Lonesome Dove…or you might not, sorry dude, it was awful!
You might go to the local bar for a drink and some music…or you might skip the drink and listen to the music…how do those Nashville bars make any money?…or you might abruptly leave the bar when Brooks and Dunn are playing right outside the door…was it rude to walk out on the local bar singer, she was actually pretty good.
You might learn to drink whisky…or you might pretend to drink whisky but really you throw it all away in the spit bucket. That stuff was nasty.
You might shop…or you…no you will shop.
You might eat fried green tomatoes, pimento cheese, and hot chicken on white bread…or you might just have cheese and crackers, pizza and a beer. Oh plus humus and chips and grapes and pretzels and wine and candy and…
You might meet a local doctor from “Vandy” who suggests where to go listen to great music, or meet a young mother who you worry about a little for how she was treated by those she was with, or meet a waitress who you can now text because you have her phone number…my these people are friendly…or you could have just gone to where you met all these nice people and eat pancakes. What nice people and good pancakes.
You might go out on the town in clothes you got the day before your trip…or you might go out in a 10 year old nightgown. Both looks were stunning!
You might help a local street vendor sell water. “Best water on Broadway!”…or you might buy some water from said vendor. That guy was entertaining.
You might visit the men’s bathroom at a local hotel…or, no that one is true. Did I mention this was a girls trip.
You might go to several country music concerts and sing along to most of the songs…or you might not have heard of ANY of the songs or the people singing them. It was fun anyway.
You might reminisce about things that happened over 40 years ago (in great detail)…or you might listen to that reminiscing and wonder if you really did go to school with these people and where the heck did you just put your phone! You can’t remember either!
Again, you might laugh, and you might cry, but you will definitely have a fun time!
