SHARING A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

With the holidays upon us I would like to share a personal experience with my family and friends (and now you) about drinking and driving.

As you may know, some of us have been known to have close encounters with the authorities from time to time on the way home from a "social session" out with friends. Well, last weekend when Paul was in Florida, I was out for an evening meal with friends and I had several white wines followed by some rather nice rum and eggnog and a Baileys or two.

Feeling jolly I still had the sense to know that I may be slightly over the limit. That's when I did something that I've never done before- I took a cab home. Sure enough on the way home there was a police road-block, but since it was a cab they waved it past.

I arrived home safely without incident. This was a real surprise as I had never driven a cab before, I don't know where I got it and now that it's in our garage I don't know what to do with the freaking thing... any suggestions?

Merry Christmas, have a safe, happy time with your family and friends. I hope you got a good chuckle!

Paul and I are to be on Coyaba January 1, 2013 and our adventure of travelling to the Exumas, Bahamas begins again. Thanks for all your support this past year and enjoy following along on our blog.
