April Fools! or Not?

Hi Everyone.  It's been a while since I've done anything on here.  And my email must not be working correctly because I never got all the emails from you all asking when I am going to write again.  I'll check on that later, perhaps my spam blocker is working too well. 

Malta was wonderful.  Weather was great, company was enjoyable, at least the ones who were not walking zombies, and the food was delicious.  Well, it was Hard Rock, McDonalds and Burger King mostly so it was nothing special to anyone else.  I look forward to heading back to malta near the end of May and enjoying it for a few more days then. 

And this weekend I go to Tunis for a couple days.  It's actually Carthage where we will be and I'm looking forward to it.  We ordered the all-inclusive package and the pool is supposed to be huge and awesome.  Now we just hope for good weather.  This time of year you can get some good rain apparently, and that is predicted as of now, but we'll see what we get.  I also have a tee time for 8 am Friday morning so I really hope the weather is clear enough. 

So getting to what I think is a funny story, related to the title of this blog entry.  Last Thursday we were leaving for Malta and it happened to be April 1st, April Fool's Day.  So that morning I emailed the travel agent who sits behind our main office building and told him about April Fools and asked that he email the guys who were going and tell them that the flight was cancelled and we couldn't go.  I don't hear from him so I email him again, still no response.  Later I go over to the main office building, where I spend my afternoons working, and I get a call from the travel agent asking that I come see him.  I enter and he is on the phone yelling at someone and I hear him say the word "Malta," so I know it';s related to why I'm here.  He hangs up and turns to me and at this point I figure someone is turning the joke on me as he begins to tell me that our tickets were not issued and we may not get to go.  Obviously I don't believe him and this is a pitiful attempt to turn the joke on me and I am not falling for it.  But he never gives in and insists its true that I do not have tickets for Mel and myself.  I go up and grill Dan to figure out if he is in on it, as I still do not believe this is true.  Haha, very funny, I know you guys are trying to trick me.  Dan has no clue what is going on and as it turns out, we really didn't have tickets.  Which is why he never resonded to my emails about the prank because he had been trying all morning to get us tickets!  What a coincidence!  As you know we did end up going to malta when he got the tickets about an hour later, and at that point this whole story became pretty funny to me. 

You have to admit, it would have been a pretty good joke if he had been able to help me with it. 

So, I need to get going to bed now.  Start of another week in the morning and most of it I will be alone.  Mel and Roc head out to Seoul on Monday.  I hope I can survive the next two weeks without them.  I know I can, but I certainly don't look forward to it.  Good weather in Tunisia should help pass the time.  Talk to you later
