The Girls back together and a much needed night out!

Sheryl was in Alaska for 3 weeks, I was in the US for a week, Erica was here and Michelle has had guests for the past few weeks, so last night we decided to have a much needed night out to catch up on everything that has been going on. We had big plans for the night: dinner at this Fondue restaurant I have been dying to go to, a few cocktails, and then head to a midnight movie. Well, it had been raining here for 2 days and after the Fondue the road that leads to the bars and movie theater was so flooded we couldn't get through. Luckily, Sheryl knew what she was doing b/c when we tried to go through the water the water came up over the hood and the car in front of us stalled out and wasn't moving! She threw it into reverse and got us the heck out of there! Michelle was in the back seat hyperventilating and I was upfront laughing my butt off never having seen anything like this in my life. After we got out of the water I just had to get a better look at this craziness, so I made everyone get out of the car and walk down closer to where the water was the deepest. Michelle kept saying "Sure I'll go with you if it will really make your night." I'm sure she thought I had lost my mind! Sheryl had on a Little Red Riding Costume and was a good sport when we were getting soaked by the rain. Erica was our photographer and did a great job making this a night we wouldn't forget! We all decided to be Good Samaritans..this is the friendly island!...and Sheryl and I pushed a flooded car out of the water. When we got it to dry ground the people opened up the back door and had to scoop bucket loads of water out of it! Erica and Michelle were advising cars to go on the golf course instead of going through the water, and helping them find the entrance and the exit from the golf course. After we were drenched and we had seen enough, we had to go to plan B...go back to Sheryl's have some mango coloda's and play some cards and talk. The night was great, I had a terrific time and never laughed so much! Thanks Dave for watching the kids and thanks gals for a terrific night!
