My weekend in Cracklevania

last time I slept in a motel, they put me next to a room with meth tweakers. I was totally wiped out from surfing an extra long sesh, but they still woke me at 3 in the morning. They were talking non-stop and every 10 min or so a child would start crying...I can only guess they were burning the kid with cigarettes or pipe. I was so wiped that I didn't get up to complain. I just figured they'd quit soon...but I was awakened several times until morning. Won't be staying there again.

 

wow. you guys stay in disgusting places with meth-heads, crack whores, and overall ****ing disgusting **** going on. congrats. if you're over 25, and you put up with this stuff on the reg when you travel, you have miserably failed in life. not cool. get a job that pays real money so you can avoid picking up bedbugs and AIDS or don't travel at all. LOL.

 

salt, you're the man. But seriously, if you don't have stories like this then you have missed out.

 

Dude, stop staying in dives lol I mean... There are far better options for just a little bit more. Unless your just broke then I get it.

 

I do, and I will share. They are from college.
Cocoa Beach is one example. The Satellite hotel, Actually. This was years ago. Place was ****ed up. Total dump, but it was cool and laid back. The staff looked kinda like crackheads, but they let us break out a jug of vodka and mix drinks right by the pool and blow doobz. We played dominoes all day when we weren't looking for waves, and had a hoot of a time. I felt we were there by ourselves, so this "hotel" was obviously up to unsavory business. I'd have to say, in my 20-21 year old brain, that place was 5 star debauchery!
Another story is from Puntarenas Costa Rica. If any of you had the pleasure of visiting that area of Costa Rica back in 1993, you'll understand how third world it was. I was traveling alone and decided to leave the hotel I was at in search of better waves. I was in Jaco at the Best Western (gringo surfer ground zero), then decided to leave when I heard about a left hander rivermouth that broke for a 1/2 mile. lo and behold, I found the wave. it wasn't exactly mapped out (for me at least). I stayed at a place for one night that was too pricy, then decided I would stay in the back of a restaurant in a room some guy was renting out. they made the best gallo pinto ever, that's why i wanted to stay there. turned-out, the place was a giant swarm of mosquitos at night, there was no real running water, and it was more or less a place to take your Tica hooker for the night. i learned that most of the hookers had AIDS from a Californian guy that was staying somewhere much much nicer. anyway, i spent the next 2 days there because the surf was so much fun. then it just died, and I went back to Jaco. all-in-all, i left unscathed...just a stolen pair of Flojos and an infected cut on my foot from a barnacle (water was absolutely filthy).

 

can't say 4sure; i'm cynical.
i heard a rumor that the 'straub' guy made his $ in scrap...
that its being scrapped.....eeeeks.......is not a foregone conclusion.
just signs pointing that way.

 

Dang, that's sad. I watched that place go up and partied in it while it was open. Scrapping it actually sounds like the most profitable idea rather than trying to make it work. It is just too nice and AC isn't what it used to be now that MD is pulling in $85 million each month in gaming revenue... with another casino to open next to DC.

 

You ain't seen nothing until you unexpectedly encounter seniors doing synchronized swimming in a hotel pool in Alamosa at 10 o'clock at night with a head full of mushrooms.

 

its also a good example if when a politician; this case mayor langford, is a POS what happens.
the revel is a back room deal whose walls have collapsed.
selling for scrap is......at least......a plan.

 

No offense takin DawnPatrol but I was a teenager and would go to Fla. with 3 or 4 bros.for a week with 100 bucks or less to surf for the week.Always an adventure and as a teenager I thought I was invincible. Looking back there were some moments that could have played out quite badly.

 

Gotcha, I had my moments in that age range and would stay at the cheapest possible place and we would fit 10-15 people in a room and all chip in like 5 bucks. Had to sneak everybody in one by one so they didn't see what was happening. Got away with it most times. These days I stay in a proper hotel or at least a reputable motel that is cheap and doesn't have too many crackies walking around.

 

Truer words may never have been spoken.

 

**** a hotel I'll sleep in my car on short trip and steal wifi lol.

 

Well that was pretty clever . Just stay down in your parents basement with your vid game collection and man junk pics on a secret file big boy .

 

And then there's this option hahaha

 

All I wanted was some ice man, I was sooo friggin thirsty.

 

Been there, done that quite a few times. Got to Sebastian Inlet state park too late to enter one night so at the advice of the ranger we parked on the side of the entrance road and tried to crash in my tiny Datsun pickup. Hot as hell. Couldn't roll down the windows 'cause of the freaken skeeters. So finally I can't take it anymore I get out put the tailgate down and am lying there with my legs dangling off being eaten alive by bugs. I turn on the flashlight and see a sh*tpot full of gator eyes too damn close for comfort. Gave up sleeping headed out to the beach where at least there was a breeze. We were the first out in the water. Got out at about ten in the morning and laid on the beach. Woke up at 3:00 that afternoon with the worst sunburn of my life.

 

Haha. Now that's entertainment!

 

Entertainment would be watching Emass and SHORTBOARDER trying to get laid . By a woman . Ha!

 

Pretty sure they gangbanged yer fat mom while your coward dad sat in the corner suckin his thumb.

So one of thems is most likely your pops. Sort it out son....
