how was keith's TRIP TO ATLANTIC CITY?

On Saturday, October 15, 2011 Rick took me to Atlantic City.  How did the trip turn out?  Time to go in.

I got to the Greyhound Downtown bus station a little after 09:00 AM.  Mind you Rick got there around 07:30 AM, so when I arrived Rick had a little bit of an attitude.  He was tired, hungry and he had a headache.  After much delay, we finally boarded the bus around Noon and we got there at about 02:30 PM.  The bus dropped us off at the Hilton Hotel & Casino.  Shortly thereafter, the day continued on a downward spiral.

So we hit the boardwalk and I made the decision to head west.  Well after walking for about five minutes it was pretty clear that we were headed nowhere.  There was no attraction in sight.  Rick continued to have a pissy attitude and he even left me.  Here's some proof.



You see that figure in the distance?  That's Rick.



When I finally caught up with him, I asked, "Why are you being an asshole?"  At that point I will admit that I was really P.O.'d but once he smiled at me, my anger went away.  We then turned around, headed east and we were right on track.  After much walking and sightseeing, we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe and then we enjoyed a great 15 minute show at Haunted Tales.  By this time the night was upon us and we started walking towards the Greyhound bus station.  Upon our arrival it was clear that a bus wasn't coming until 09:30 PM and it was about 07:30 PM, so we took a walk on The Walk and looked inside some stores. 

We got back to the bus station at around 08:30 PM and waited.  Well here's where some more drama kicked in.  I thought it was a great time share some concerns that were on my mind.  I asked him if he can hear me on our phone calls only because I've noticed that his responses never line up with what I'm saying or he seems to always end the conversation and hang up in the middle of me talking.  I also had concerns with him not calling when he says he would.  So we had a mild argument and I could tell he got a little upset.  We talked so much that we almost missed our 09:30 PM bus home.  In the end we got back to Baltimore at around 12:30 PM.  In all, I'll rate the trip a 3 out of 5.  Here's some more pictures.
