We have had many crazy wild time with our convertible party car, H.R.H Princes Priscilla! We loved to “Shoot the Bridge”. This was what everybody called it when we would cross over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge. Going up to 200 ft above Tampa Bay with huge cargo ships traveling in and out of port below you. There is a turnabout on the southside of the bridge into the rest area then back to the north side and over the beautiful mammoth bridge. On one of these “Shoot the Bridge” drives the car was full of guys when up to us came traveling next to us was 3 HUGE Breasted Wild Girls! We pulled off to stop at the rest area and they followed. We found out that they were in a new reality show from Italy and shooting the show in Florida. The show was about… Who would have the Wildest time in Florida? A brunette Girl from Italy, a Blonde Girl from Sweden, a redhead Girl from England. They asked to go for a wild ride in Princess Priscilla. We knew they were way over the top.

We said ‘no’ and took off back over the bridge. The film crew & girls in a van chased us over the bridge filming all the time. We pulled back into the SunCoast Resort and unloaded the guys. Then Carrie gave the girls a ride around the SunCoast Resort. There was a Sunday T-Dance going on in the courtyard. The Wild Girls ran in and started to dance. Then they realized where they were! The girls had a great time but the camera crew had an even better time!!! LOL LOL

One night at a famous local festive restaurant, there were 2 big bridal dinner parties going on. The two group were seated next to each other. The Mother of the bride, at one table, was making quite the drunken scene. The food came and everybody was happy having a great time when….. The Mother of the bride stood up to toast her daughter. With no warning she started to throw up on the table. She put her hand over her face and it was just like putting your thumb over the end of a garden hose. She sprayed everywhere!!! The servers quickly rushed in to start cleaning her up. Bridzilla announced everybody was leaving. The server Mr A. handed her the check and she went ballistic and didn’t want to pay for anything!!!

In a straight face Mr. A said, “I didn’t just throw up on your food & guests. Why should I as your server have to pay for everything?”

The sheriff manager then comp’d the whole check including the drinks. Bridezilla stormed out & of course no tip. Just then the other Bridal party who had seen everything said…… “I guess they are not going to eat those cup cakes they left.”

They actually picked up the cup cakes from the back of the thrown up table and ate them! You just can not make this up!!!! LOL LOL

Several close friends kept asking us to host a Tupperware Party. At the time we were at the SunCoast Resort Hotel and said “yes”. I made 2 calls to the Tupperware ladies and did not get a call back. On the 3rd try a lady called back and we set a date for the party. The day of the party we had rented a poolside suite. On the balcony was a banner inviting everybody to come up for a Tupperware party. The regional manager of Tupperware with her gay son arrived.

With a big smile of relief she said ” You freaked out the whole office. A Man called and wanted to have a Tupperware Party in a Hotel Room!!!” After the 3rd call the regional manger said she would do it and bring her son along. When she asked her Gay son he laughed and said, “Mom that’s a Gay Hotel!! Of course I will go with you & party!!”

The SunCoast Resort management team didn’t believe we were actually having a “Tupperware Party” too. They thought Tupperware was a code word for… “drugs.” They called the police on us. To the police surprise admittance we were actually selling tables of Tupperware. And we knew the officers!!! After the party the regional director of Tupperware said that was the largest amount she ever sold. To this day we still have un opened Tupperware LOL LOL

Tea Cup was working with a very hot chiseled 22 year old straight guy, who we will call Lil’ Mike. There were 2 very hot 22 year old girls in the club who Mike was all about. What better way to meet young sexy girls than doing body shots!!! RIGHT!!!… Mike took his shirt off and layed down on the bar top. Tea Cup grabbed a bottle of tequila, put a hand full of limes on his crotch and yelled…. “Who wants a body shot?” Mike has a huge smile on his face and was all into it. Just then 3 Grandmothers ran up. The look on Mike’s face went from joyous to horrified. The Granny’s were all into it yelling, “More salt on his nipples!” then licked his chest, sucked out Tequila in his belly button and bit a piece of lime. After the Grannys came over to Tea Cup and said, “I think we had him turned on” With a big cheesy smile Tea Cup lied thru his teeth and said “Yes, you Naughty ladies sure did!!!” You Can Not make this Up.

Moscow was just starting to rebuild. We were staying in the International Olympic Village Hotel section near downtown Moscow. It was a city of extremes from… The very rich to 3rd world poverty, from very elegant to very shabby. We toured the Kremlin and even saw the Czar’s Faberge Egg Collection. Czar’s wife hallway of spectacular dresses and gowns & 2 dozen handmade jeweled horse carriages. The strange part was they would only except American dollars for entrance to all government buildings. The highlight of the day was a trip to Red Square.  The famous and colorful St Basil’s Cathedral is all that people say it is. Really beautiful! The only thing scary was the gory past that made it what it is. In the center of the square is the Communist Dictator Lenin’s Tomb. We had our friend Jack with us. To be fair the best way to describe our friend  Jack would be a very loud retired opinionated gay Italian. So there we were at the very dark Tomb. Soldiers are at every corner and at the end of each turnstile line. Nobody was allowed to talk. The long line went up and down, back and forth. Then all of a sudden there you were in front of Lenin’s casket. Lenin is in a glass coffin dressed in a Armani Suit and slightly raised. You can view the old dictator from 3 sides. You would swear he could sit right up and his hands are within touch.. Jack had not been listening about all this and was very surprised. He said very loudly “Oh my God there a dead body in there!” With that four pairs of arms came out of the dark, covered his mouth and took him away! If there is any type of disruption there is usually a very heavy fine to pay. Later we found jack wandering around the sq. He was taken to a side door & kicked out . LOL LOL

The Soviet Russia rule had just come down. The Former Soviet Union was falling apart. Our friend Edwin (aka Rita Rags) called and said he had found an incredible cheap trip 18 day package to Russia did we want to go with him. YES!!! We flew to JFK Airport in New York City then continued onto Kiev, Ukraine  by Aeroflight ( the official airline of Russia). Our first clue should have been that when we went to re-ticket in the Aeroflight sign had been pulled out and reversed. Hum… As we were walking down the loading jet ramp Mark said to Carrie “There’s no plane???” Instead we were put on a mobile transport and taken to a remote corner of the JFK airport. As we were walking up to the huge Russian made plane we noticed that somebody had whitewashed over the name Areoflight. The hand painted sign on the outside of the planes had been painted “Air Ukraine “  Strange…

We then walked onto the huge cargo air vessel through a maze of containers, luggage, steam lockers, huge cargo boxes packed inside the netted sides of the plane. Once in our sling style netted plastic covered seats the attendant came by and gave us each a brown paper bag. Inside was some cheese, bread & a bottle of vodka. In a strong authorative vice she said, “You go toilet NOW!!! Limited toilet time during fight!”

We did what she said and were settling into our never ever seen before type seats when they started to bring in more cargo into the cabin and stacked it in the so called isle! OK, this all just became a nightmare in air and an adventure with unknown results!!! The plane took off for a 12 hour flight and flew over the north pole to our destination of Kiev in the Ukraine.

The last 3 hours we were flying over land and couldn’t help but notice how very close to the ground we were flying. Maybe 2 or 3,000 feet at most????? The plane finally landed we walked down the jet stair case to the tarmak.The crew opened the lower plane doors like a bus and tossed the luggage out on the ground. Farm tractors pulling hay wagon came out to the plane to pick up the luggage and passengers. Then a Polka Band came out on another tractor pulled wagon playing music. The crew started to cheer, dance & shout.

We asked the fight attendant what was going on???? She replied, “We are celebrating. This airplane is now Air Ukraine. No more Russian plane!!!” They had just stolen & comadeared the plane from the former Soviet Union from NYC!!!!! Shocked? Yes…We know we were on it!

Next week part 2 The trip to Moscow

What an exciting time that was for Tampa Bay. We decided to go to the stadium to join in the victorious homecoming football Super Bowl Party. We drove over with some friends and our visiting Uncle Gale from Wisconsin in our topless limo, H.R.H. Princess Priscilla. When we arrived at the stadium they saw our extended bright white limo convertible and directed us right up front next to the stadium to park. A most exciting Super Bowl Winning Tampa Bay Buccaneer’s returning Jet stadium fly over, just above the stadium a little over the crowded fans hands it felt like. Then suddenly Black Hawk Helicopters were above our heads and military personnel were lowering themselves onto the playing field. Quite the show. It was a once in a lifetime spectacular energized sight!

The Buc’s came in on a dozen open windowed charter busses. They were amazed as were the standing cheering camera flashing fans. The early morning hour stadium filled crowd went wild. After the Huge Welcoming Home Celebration, it was a parade through Tampa. A policemen told us to pull our limo in  behind a couple of police cars with lights & sirens on! The winning Super Bowl Champs Buccaneer team buses were right behind us. The crowds were massive and we slowly proceeded through the stadium area streets. Beads in hand our bartender friend, Jack ran up to a couple of the team bus’s open doors to give them handfuls of rainbow strands of beads. The assistant coach asked if that was our limo. We said yes, and the next thing we knew there were 2 of the winning coaches riding in our limo!! GO BUCS!!! What a parade!!!!
