Wild Boy Party Bus

My cousin is 3 weeks away from his wedding and is extremely anxious to get it over with so a few of the fellas figured out how we can get him relaxed and calm before the big day……..Bachelor Party time! That’s right! The theme song and the theme name for that night was Wild Boy. If anyone has heard of Machine Gun Kelly then you know what I mean. I was in charge of transportation so after doing a quick head count if figured we will need a limo but not just any limo, I went to the RentalCarMomma and I was able to get a really good deal on a party limo bus and it had all the bells and whistles for our shin dig. The price was ridiculous I mean considering the fact that we were rolling 20 deep we got the party bus for 7 hours for $900.00.

So once we squared away the details of the wild boy ride we now concentrated on where we wanted to take my cousin Sosa for the night and of course being that us boys like doing bad things we said that we needed to take him to Tampa Florida and stop at several night clubs including a Gentleman’s night club. Sosa had no idea what we had in store for him at all, the entire week he kept telling me how he wanted to do something fun before his wedding and he had no clue what was coming the very next day.

The day of the party a few of us went to pick him up from his house and take him to get a haircut and of course we as well got cuts then we went to the mall to get some gear for the night so we could look so fresh and so clean and this fool still had no idea what was going on. Once we got done we took him back home and we told him that he needs to be ready because we had plans for the night to grab some drinks. Everyone already knew what time to meet at my cousins crib our Limo bus driver was going to be there at 10p.m. sharp so we asked that everyone arrive at Sosa’s house by 9:30p.m. I got to his house first only because I needed to stop by the liquor store and get all the Big Boy Drinks because the party bus doesn’t supply the drinks. So once I got in his house with all the bottles he had a curious look on his face and then he asked me “Bro I thought we was going out for drinks” and I told him “yeah we are” and as soon as I said that all the fellas rolled in at the same time the party bus parked in front of his crib and by that time my boy had a smile that went from cheek to cheek.

I myself had the only cool-aid smile because I wasn’t expecting what I saw, I mean this bus was pimped out to the max it had cool customized Graffiti throughout the exterior parts of the bus. I was the first one in the bus and that was because I had to put the drinks in the bar,,,,,,yes you heard it correctly this bad boy had a liquor bar and it had wooden floors throughout the bus it also had customized leather seats, 12 47inch flat screen t.v.’s and fully loaded surround sound with iPod connection for the tunes oh and I almost forgot the customized strobe lights and 2 private bathrooms for him and her LOL!!!

Once I put the bottles to chill I put in some music and I told the driver to open the door and let everyone in and they all rushed inside and you could see it in everyone’s face that they could not believe what they were seeing, to say that it was off the chain would be an understatement this party bus was official like the bone gristle. As soon as we drove off my cousin pulled me aside and he told me that this was the best thing anyone has ever done and told him to shut up and have a lot of drinks because where we were heading you definitely be on your Wild Boy Status and party’d all night long rockin the song by Machine Gun Kelly – “ Ima Wild Boy, Ima-Ima Wild Boy”

A stroll into the Bluegrass State...

It’s been a while that Alejandra Ms Hotness and I took a drive into the incredible states that comprise the union. We been a little bit flustered with work and things. We got into a rhythm and to break from the usual habit, we decided to visit her brother, my future brother-in-law at Kentucky.

We took the flight there, and you can see that the Kentucky International Airport was filled with the White and Blues from the recent feat of the mighty Wildcats’ NCAA Championship. One thing I love about Ms Hotness is that she is into sports, all kinds. But she is also a major NY Yankee fan, like me!

Anyways, after the usual greetings from her brother and his wife, Ellen, Alejandra and I went to the Thrifty rental car desk, which they were holding our vehicle. As usual, we used the rentalcarmomma.com site, it’s the only place where we are sure to find awesome discounts. And they have never disappointed us. We showed the agent our reservation, asked us if we wanted a GPS, which we declined since we have our androids and we have downloaded the Google Maps app (it is fantastic by the way, if you haven’t downloaded, what you waiting for!!) It was a Ford Focus which was cheap with the discounts and economic with the gas, plus something awesome is that it was unlimited mileage!

After spending the weekend with them, in which Alejandra’s brother kept teasing me with the “if you play my sister I am gonna…” speech. We both head to the Bluegrass. Our first stop was the Woodford Reserve Distillery. We drove from Lexington to Versailles, which is about 30-min. I have to say that the sightseeing is amazing.

The Woodford Reserve Distillery is the oldest in Kentucky and here is where they started perfecting the bourbon whiskey. We arrived early to see the 10am tour of their facilities. It is amazing when walking into their distillery to see how they do this wonderful whiskey. With all the time and technology, they kept to the minimum the new technology to produce, and they kept intact the old-making process of doing the spirit. Oak wood barrels are constantly rolling thru the different stages, this will produce the aging of the whiskey, plus the flavor and amber color that is very distinct of this type of whiskey. After we go around the different buildings and places where they prepared the drink, we are guided to the bar where there was a lady that was having the drink in different stages of maturity. Of course, they had in the most matured drink in a nice bottle that we bought as souvenir and another for us to drink.

The following day we went to the Kentucky Derby Museum which is in Louisville, an hour and a half from Lexington. It is a huge venue, but the surrounding areas are nothing of what you see on TV for the seminal horse race. It is way impressive! The gardens, the stables, they have on the tour the “cementery” as Alejandra and I called it, cause it was sculptures and other markings with some highlight horses that ran in this race. They even bring us to the place where the really really rich stays during the race. It was a good thing that we didn’t come during the race day, cause is hard to be in this area. We went to the gift shop and bought some souvenirs. We both not into horse racing, but since this is one of the oldest races in America, we give it a try, and definitely we recommend this tour.

The third day, we both went with Alejandra’s brother and sister-in-law to the Mammouth Cave. It was a bit far, about 2hr 1/2. boy did it impressed Alejandra and I! you all know how good she is with a camera, and let me tell you, this was like the ultimate photography oasis for her! So many sightseeings, and incredible vistas. The rock formations are simple awe-inspiring. And to top it all off, the guide told us that is the biggest in the whole world! We were simply marveled by the sheer size of the caves. But what is more amazing is the different fixtures that were created by just nature. Some feels like as if you walked into the met. The name cames from the size of the caves and we both totally agree. Alejandra was in photography 101 heaven, and when she is focus, wow she looks phenomenally sexy!

Definitely I am looking forward to spending more time with this awesome and incredibly beautiful jewel of a woman. Plus, nothing bad with meeting her family little by little. So far, this is headed in the right direction and I cant be more happier. Plus, to see her smile is to see the Mona Lisa come to life!

Portlandia

I recently took a trip to Portland to visit some family. I was able to pull up a coupon from rental car momma for 30% off my car rental from Budget. That made my trip even more affordable. I was able to maneuver around the city comfortably after that. What i was prepared for was the amount of hipster's that have migrated to my little city. I haven't quite seen as much black horn rimmed glasses, silly tattoo's, and guys wearing their sisters pants since the Grateful Dead concert I attended in the 70's. Going out for "tea" and hanging out in the library has become cool here for the first time since the 1800's. PETA's taken over, and has fliers in everything from McDonalds, to starbucks, to clubs, to bars.

What I did miss, was the friendliness of everyone around. I made sure to run around town as fast as I could to visit all the hotspots, and friends, and spent as much time out on the town as I could. I was able to catch a few concerts, and hop around to a few bars, and it was all possible because I was able to afford what I thought was going to be the most expensive part of the trip through Rentalcarmomma. The people were friendly, and the service was great. Make sure to check them out the next time you're in need of a Rental Car.

Seattle 2012

So I had some free time at the end of this winter and I wanted to do something with those saved up frequent flier miles. So I decided on a vacation to Seattle for some site seeing and a break from the same old same old work schedule I had fallen into. It’s always nice to break up the norm with a little fun throughout the year, and that was my plan. Of course upon arriving I had to find a way of getting around, and it turns out that they have a Hertz right at the airport there. So, using the $25 a day deal on Hertz I rented a Kia Rio as my means of transportation around town.

When I was looking at places to stay I kept coming back around to the Four Seasons Hotel. Everywhere I looked it appeared at the top of the list for excellence. So I decided that with the money I saved on my rental car it would be a great place to stay. The best part about the hotel is the view of the water from my balcony. They also had a nice bar and diner, and when I say nice I mean along the lines of gourmet. They even had a pool with a beautiful view of Puget Sound, the giant lake/river surrounding the city.

One of the things everyone told me I had to absolutely see was the Olympic Sculpture Park. They also told me that the best part about these awesome pieces of art is that it was free. It turns out that the park isn’t this small little part of town. In fact, the place is over nine acres large and is a section of the Seattle Art Museum which I got to enter as well. Out in the park if your patient and wait you can enjoy free guided tours that give you a lot of information about the art. Or if you’re impatient like me, you spot the tour mid show and you just fall in line. After grabbing a quick bite to eat at a corner café like they do in the movies, (I had coffee for theatrical effect… I don’t even like coffee) I headed over to the Pike Place Market.

Now this place was definitely the most crowded of places I visited while in Seattle. However when it comes to souvenirs there really is no better place to shop. Everything here is locally produced or funded. You can find everything from art to little knickknacks and of course, those odd ball foods. I didn’t spend much money here but I did walk around for a decent amount of time, often taking pictures of stuff that I would never put in my home, but just had to show my friends. You know, because the artists think that everyone needs a four foot tall stone angel wielding a sword in midflight as their homes centerpiece.

Finally I got a little ways out of town and visited Discovery Park. Discovery Park is more beautiful than the pictures led me to believe. It’s this huge five hundred acre park with hiking trails crisscrossing and traveling all over the place. Without a map I surely would have gotten lost. If you’re an outdoorsy kind of fellow than this is the place for you. There are even beaches you can walk on, so it’s like a combination of every outdoor scenery you could imagine.

Overall my stay in Seattle was great. I wish I had more time to spend at the Four Seasons Hotel but that could easily be remedied at a later date. Until next time my good friends.

We eat all our sauce!

So there I was knee deep in a bunch of wings. Yah that's right me and my boys went to Las Vegas for a wing eating contest and it was legit. We stayed in the Balllagio and even got our own rental car from Budget. It was a good time and we continued to do work and push through to the wing contest even when we were drunk off pancakes. You wouldn't believe all the drinks we showered in. Jager Bombs, Jack Daniels, Corona, Ciroc, Patron and all those other sensual good drinks that you dream about when you are candying your favorite slabs of meat. You know what I'm saying. We got to this wing contest and they asked for name so I gave em my name and address like they was a crazy ex girl friend stalker or something. Yah so what, Maybe I like it crazy sometimes you know. So there we were staring at these 100 wings and the first one to finish them all was the winner. Among them were buffalo, sweet and sour, spicy, jalepeno and many other delicious dripping wings for us to munch on as we race one another to the end of the contest. You know how we do, of course I won. It wasn't even a race, I straight blew them out of the water and showed them how we do and then some. There is no possible way anyone can keep up with me, I have been a practicing alcoholic for years now and eating food when I'm drunk is pretty much the only thing I'm good at in life...besides drinking the alcohol. So if you want to enjoy a good time and get your wings on then hit up Vegas and let's see what you got.

Indianapolis Dreaming

You may say there are other places to go that are far better than spending a weekend in Indianapolis however, I am here to say that that is not the case! The city has many great things to see and enjoy in the same time. You can go year round and experience a new town every time that you go because the way the seasons change affects how the city changes as well. I love going there in the winter so I can see how the town focuses their attention to the football team being the Colts. The people gather at local sports bars and pubs to see them face off against other giants in the arena and they cheer and chant them on towards a victory. Other cities down south just aren't the same. It's a love that is home grown and breed through generations I believe.

Not too long ago I found myself on a road trip with my wife to the famous Indianapolis. I figured it be a great time to get some relaxation and enjoy some new scenery while getting away from every day life for a while so why not! First thing we did was pick up our rental car and started packing up. The car we got was a brand new Chrysler 300c. It was a beautiful work of art and has so much room and luxury that I found myself not wanting to give it up after our rental period was over. Anyway back to the story, when we get packed we headed out on our 2 day road trip to get there and we found the car was nice to drive and I was able to drive hours on end without getting tired or groggy due to the reactive feeling that the car gave me. My bottom never got numb or tingly either which is a common thing to run into on long road trips. You will find that with the 300c it is a great all around car with great gas mileage and plenty of power on tap as well. It really is a well engineered vehicle from the ground up. So when we finally got to Indianapolis I had to go to the car museum there to explore some of the cars of history, Porsche being my favorite of course for several reasons. I highly recommend a visit to this facility for not only educational purposes but also for entertainment value as well. There are plenty of exhibits that are interactive that you will surely enjoy. So after that we went and met up with some family and we stayed the course of 4 days with them and we enjoyed every minute of it. Upon our departure we found that the 300c was just as much of a joy to drive home that it was to drive there.

It’s So Wavy When You’re Ridin Dirty

Thank god for tax season. Its been about a week already since I got my return and my family and I already have our vacation planned out we are heading out to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg Virginia. Last night I went to RentalCarMomma and surprisingly with a name like that I was able to find some pretty official discounts on car rentals. I selected Budget car rentals because it had a pretty interesting savings it said that I could save up to 30% on any vehicle that I wanted to rent so I selected the black on black big body Cadillac because you know how real G’s do it Escalade status fo sho!!. The final cost for the swagged Caddy was $929.63 which in my opinion was official like the bone grisel.

I had already got a sweet deal at the Holiday Inn which is 6 miles from the park so it was just a matter of packing up the kids and riding out. I was fortunate enough to get a head start by getting the rental the night before we were leaving and being the punctual dude that I am I made sure we were all ready by 7a.m. so we could at least beat traffic and drive out comfortably.

One of the many reasons why I love the Cadillac Escalade is that it provides so much space for my family but you can still feel the luxurious ride that Cadillac provides awh yes it’s swagalishes. I was so excited to finally visit Busch Gardens in Va. That I didn’t even mind driving the 679 miles straight through and surprisingly I didn’t even need to make that many gas stops. I guess it is true what they say about Escalades they really do ride well on gas when they are being used on long distance road trips through the highways. Map quest told me that I would take roughly 13 and a half hours to make it their but believe it or not I made it there in less than 10 hours although I must say my wife kept yelling in my ear to slow down but I couldn’t help myself this Cadillac rides so smooth you don’t even realize how fast your driving I’m telling it’s like your driving on a huge cloud. It’s so wavy when you’re ridin dirty.
