by David G. Swanson (Author)

Who doesn't like vacations with ultimate relaxation preferences? The type of vacation a person takes depends upon individual desires. Most folks like to be wined-n-dined and pampered as if they've snuck into the 1/10 of 1% demographic.

A few eccentrics prefer different vacations. Developing the ability to ignore inconveniences that's like a gym rat who refuses to believe their feet smell. DARREN, prefers these vacations. Being a backpack traveler, he's just returned from his latest adventure and receives a call from his cousin informing him that their uncle, JORGE DaSILVA, would like to take a niece/nephew cruise. Jorge has lots of money. Darren becomes skeptical concerning the trip since this isn't his idea of interesting adventure. RYAN mentioning that Darren prefers adventures where the excitement comes from doing things off-the-cuff. Street stall cuisine, park-bench accommodations, and having an AR-15 pointed at your skull. Initially, Darren refuses to participate and various individuals including sister, GRETCHEN, try to change his mind. Manipulations eventually has him participating. Then, a monkey wrench gets thrown in when Jorge suffers a mild heart attack. He recovers, and the rivercruise vacation occurs. Things get stranger (if that's possible...) Jorge tells Darren that he wishes he could've done these rough-n-tumble vacations when he was younger. Having just participated in a cruise, Darren wants to continue his backpack vacations right up until the day he's forced to do the Barca-lounger thing. Eating pre-chewed meals through a straw.
