Ode to Gilligan’s Island!

 

Theme Song to our Anniversary Vacation

(Sung to the tune of "Gilligan’s Island")

*My apologies to Gilligan & the Skipper*

 

Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,

A tale of an eventful tour.

That started from Ft. Lauderdale,

Aboard this red Rav 4, Aboard this red Rav 4.

 Now Gregg is a crazy driving man,

And I with my iphone in reach.

Set out to hunt everywhere that day

For a tent for the beach, A tent for the beach. 

 

The weather started getting rough,

this Rav4 was tossed.

If not for the determination of us both,

We surely would get lost, We surely would get lost.

We were searching for a special tent that Gregg had seen before.

With a sunscreen,

Flexible poles,

Plenty of room for two!

Everyone was sold out.

Even Sports Authority & Dick’s

Here in Lauderdale, Here in Lauderdale.

So this is the tale of the rest of our week,

Just chairs we will try.

We’ll have to make the best of things,

We hope we will not fry, We hope we will not fry.

The second day it began to rain,

So we left our chairs on the beach,

Returned seeing strangers sitting there.

Good manners we need to teach, Good manners we need to teach.  

 

Bubba Gumps for dinner one night,

Grilled shrimp & ribs after that.

Lobster Sandwiches at Aruba’s,

We surely are going to get fat, We surely are going to get fat!

No laptop, only my trusty iphone,

I surely will survive.

Seeing 133 Sea Turtle eggs,

Made me feel so alive, Made me feel so alive.

I am going to add another verse

Because we were quite perturbed.

Didn’t think the front desk would give out our key

To a drunk from Pittsburg, To a drunk from Pittsburg.

 

So join us here this week next year,

When our tale will be long as a mile.

Again we will visit Lauderdale by the Sea,

And that makes us smile, That makes us smile.
