of all of my friends to say, hey, you know
the teas that were going on me or I do
it every Sunday. And I guess this Italy thing's been
a big talk because now people want to know, you know, hey, Dana,

use a travel agent? And then Debbie says, I'm planning
a trip to Italy too in the fall of twenty

Speaker 2 (00:53):
I'm a little worried right now just because so Jill, Randy,
Kyle and I all drove back in the car to
come home from Nashville, Tennessee. One person out of all
these families that were there together stayed behind, and that
was my daughter Cammy. Because she's such a vacation snob

(01:14):
kind of a thing. She's getting picked up by another
family who she usually house sits for them, and they
have young girls who she teaches and gives lessons to
for softball.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
To come on vacation with us. We're going to I
think it's Hilton Head, but they're gonna they're playing in
this tournament in Louisville, so they're going to drive from
Louisville to pick her up in Nashville and go on
to their vacation house property wherever it is. So we
had to come back, you know, and the place that
we rented we had to be kicked out at like
nine ten in the morning. The people who I told

(01:47):
you surprised us, the Buicks. They got a room at
the Hilton, so they let Cammy go in there and
use their room because they had to leave at six
in the morning, so they got an extended you know,
check out at one pm. But she's still there now.
I'm like, just stay in that lobby. They won't know
if you've checked out or not. I see so many
people come and going go sit by the pool, do whatever.
