Um, yeah, I can’t quite believe it myself either. Folks, I need to interrupt our regularly scheduled program here at the FBC, again, to make an announcement: I just found out that I’m going to Barbados next month. For five days!!!! My friend Raj is the sweetest man on the face of the earth. I adore him, and we always have a ton of fun together. So, for his upcoming trip to Barbados, he asked me if I’d like to travel with him. I told him that I’d love to go, but I have absolutely no cash to take a trip like that. Raj, being the unbelievably amazing person that he is, kindly donated his frequent flier miles to me. So, I have a free flight. And, he’s letting me crash in his hotel. So, I have a free hotel room. Free flight. Free hotel. So, yeah, not only am I going to Barbados … I’m going to go there for FREE. Wow! And, I don’t even have to put out!!! (Raj and I are friends. Just friends. And, nothing else. Plus, he’s gay.) Man. Life really seems to be turning around for me. For the past two years, I’ve had a pretty chaotic and stressful life here in New York. At times, it felt like nothing was working out. It’s good that things seem to be turning a corner.
Vacation. Man, I love that word. Not counting the weekend trip to the Hamptons for a wedding last summer and two trips home to see my family, this is going to be my first “real” vacation trip outside of New York City in more than two years. Finally. VACATION. Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face. No real plans. No schedule. No one to visit. Just me, my buddy Raj, the beach, the sun and the smell of the ocean. Raj is an amazing human being, and I’m forever grateful that he is in my life. I liked him *before* the free trip to Barbados. But, now, I like him even more now.
On a completely different note … I haven’t forgotten that I promised one of my readers, KB, a post about female-to-male erotic spanking. I plan to post that on Nerve later today. Done. It’s posted. Hit me up at Nerve if you want spanking tales. (Pun intended.)

Have a FAB time!! Do something crazy while you’re there so you have a great story to tell when you’re back!
Howard is so jealous. How can you tell? He’s referring to myself in the third person.
Watch out for pirates. I be hearin’ thar’s pirates in them waters, arrrr.
Ooo! Baba is right! I saw an armada of them on Sunday at a local theater!
I’m sooo jealous! Ok so now you’ve delurked yourself on the blog-world, maybe you can post holiday pics when you’re back so I can live vicariously through you while I’m stuck in gloomy misty Glasgow? Hope you have an awesome time though, you totally deserve it:)
Lala: I’m not sure yet, but I might take you guys with me when I go. (I did the whole “blog on the go” thing during the London trip, and that worked out okay.) Can’t promise full posts, but I might slap up a picture or two.
Howard: You’re funny! :)
Baba Doodlius: I *STILL* haven’t seen the new Pirates yet!!
Howard: Every time I hear the word “armada” it reminds me of that scene in Goonies. “Then there was a whole big war between the armada and Willy’s ship, the Inferno … ”
Darwin: Aww, thanks. And, yep, there will be holiday pics!! :)
w00t I envy you FBC….damn!…..Now I really wish I had some gay girlfriends, but then again then that would change the fact that I WOULD want to make out with them heh :P
You’re funny. :)
I can be in Pittsburgh, PA (and god knows I have), with nothing but a few hours/few days to myself, to burn as I see fit, and I can walk away feeling like a few years of stress have come off my back for the simple reason of this: When you’re on vacation, there’s nothing to think about except for, “What am I going to do next for fun? To enjoy myself?”
Stolie, I wish you a very relaxing, very warm, very unsober, very food-filled and relaxing vacation in Barbados. Darn it to hell, I’m going to miss my daily dose of FBC, but you deserve it and have more than earned it! Get ‘er done!
Color me jealous. (Where can I get ME a Raj??) Have fun!!
I’m keeping Raj all to myself!!!! :-)
How was Barbados? I love it for a very good reason lol.
