Ain't life grand? Who would have ever guessed the end to this story. People should share these vacation experiences in leiu or slide shows. Great read. joan marie

Take it up with the pencil pushers. No frills. No thrills. A very well written short story that held my interest. Good imagery and descriptive scheme.

Well written. I enjoyed the humor of this. One suggestion for the ending:

"Oh.

Well, I still think it is cheap...."

Speaker had not expressed that he thought it was cheap previously, so using "still think it is cheap" seems not quite what you may have been wanting to express here. Maybe something like:

"Oh.

Well, in that case I think it is cheap..."

It's your call, just a thought that came to mind as I read.

This is a cute story. I hope the band got paid for the gas to get back and forth. I never went to Mexico, but I loved Hawaii. The lei greeting is lovely.

This is cute. I guess the cruise line thought you would be impressed enough by the location. In all actuality, I'm surprised there wasn't one there anyway, playing for donations by the rich cruise patrons. Nice story. A couple of extra commas needed ...
