Allen Blake and his friends take turns picking their vacations every year. It's Allen's turn this year and he's going to wish he hadn't been so cheap with the reservations. This is a short story I wrote for my wife for her birthday. I asked her what kind of story she would want to read and then I adapted her basic premise into this. I'm just starting to write, and this is the longest story I've written yet. I'm hoping you enjoy it.
