SB2K6 Day 1 - The Arrival -

Encounter, packing, getting ready for bed, asleep by 12.30 a.m. only to get up at the early hour of 4.15am! Yup, with a little less than 4hrs of sleep this is how the great SB2K6 began.. heading to Clearwater, Fla with some great folks until Tues. I really needed this break! Trip was long but fun, me, Brett, and Clocks were in the "pewter scooter" yup, thats right, we had walkie talkies and code car names. Delirium and tiredness set in and after about 8hrs in the car, Clearwater came into the radar.
First pothole was hit: We got kicked out of our original reserved hotel room because they discovered a bunch of college kids were cramming into rooms in attempts to save money and avoid the "extra capacity fees". No worries right? We are in college and born for stuff like this? We piled back into the cars soon to find the "upscale" "resort" of the Roadside Inn, yeah thats right... people pay the big bucks to stay here (hardly)! Nonetheless, its a place to crash and its all we needed! We unloaded all our junk, showered and went on the hunt for some food in downtown Clearwater/Tampa area. A beachside hotspot, called "Frenchies" was discovered.. much fun was had, good food, good times!

Some things to mention without providing an explanation (just to keep you guessing) :

We think we saw a prostitution "invite" into the room below us after we were asked first, simply because we were all chillin in the parking lot as the "lady of the nite" was headed to her room

The Diamond Dolls "gentleman's Club?" is right next to our hotel...
(fun to joke about but, i think we should stay away from this attraction)

So far, i love Clearwater!
