same again next year?

I don’t get ppl who travel on Easter weekend....
it’s like woohoo a whole extra 48 hours off 😱😱😱
let’s pack everything we own, 17 kids, the canoe,
the bbq, pack enough food to feed the whole
of a 3rd world nation for a month,
the bikes, the dog, 18 fishing rods
and Grandma in the 4 tonne LandCruiser we don’t know how to drive....
then we’ll leave early to beat the traffic,
ermmmm 10k out of town no...
every other numpty with a BCF membership got the same idea 🙄
oh well nevermind
nothing like 9 hours in a traffic jam with screaming bored kids
fighting over the DVD player and mashing
half chewed lollies on the carpet while singing
“Let it Go!” out of tune for the 19th time...

11.5 hours from home you’ve covered
43.6 kilometres and your cheese is about to slide off your cracker 😤
so you pull into a Service Centre packed
with 9753 other equally mental fools,
park sideways across 6 spots in the truck
section coz you know the Toyota runs on diesel so it’s a ‘truck ‘ isn’t it??
You all pile out of the big lorry
ignoring the cold stares from the
guy trying to park his
80 foot bdouble
for a regulation break,
send the kids to line up at Maccas for 57 minutes
then still have no fkn clue what they want by the time
you reach the server 🤨....
it doesn’t matter what the stinking rugrats order anyway
coz 11 minutes later the wrappers are floating across the carpark,
the soft serve is on the leather seats
and the 9 year old has pickles in her hair
and is screaming ‘you’re a poo poo head!”
at the 7 year old
who refuses to sit forwards or put his seat belt on 👊🏻....

25.8 hours after leaving home you reach the campsite
a whole 103 ks away only to discover there’s no spots left
within 17 kilometres of the beach or a toilet
so you set up camp with the brown snakes 🐍
nowhere near the neighbors
who promised to hold a spot for you 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️.....
You spend the next day and a half listening to half pissed Shazza’s
yelling “JAYDEN!!! Stop hitting your brother!!”
and mumbling to your mates around the campfire
about ‘serenity’ and ‘the good life’.... 🔥

9am Monday you’re thinking prison food can’t be that bad surely???
If I just bury them deep enough nobody will find them??
You say fuk this I’ll leave early and beat the traffic while
visions of the 23 hour journey down here flash through your head 💭🤔

So you pack the whole shebang back into the Pickle mobile
along with the wet dog and sunburnt kids whining
“weeeere hungreeeeeee!!!” ,
pull out onto the packed highway,
find another Maccas to appease the brats.
fill the ‘truck’ at $1.91 a litre and head the fuk home
with the other 19.3 million nufftys thinkin
a bbq at home and a sleep in would have been a good idea!!
