日頃の行いがよろしいのか（んなはずないでしょ！）今回ラッキーなことに非常口の列に席をゲットー！　（うるせえ！ビジネスクラスでいつも飛んでるやつにゃ俺の気持ちわかれねえんだよ！）真ん中の席でしたが、わたくしにとりましてはそば殻の枕からダウンの枕に変わったような気持ちでございました。
I must be living right. I’ve got the exit row on this flight. Although it was the middle seat, still it was a big upgrade for me.
右の席には無愛想なアメ人姉ちゃん。左にはおしゃべりアメ人兄ちゃん。左の兄ちゃんとは色々と喋ったが、右の姉ちゃんにも話しかけてあげないと悪いかなぁ〜と何回かそちらを覗いたのだが、ぶす〜っとしてはって、声かけるの怖くなっちゃいました。

I want to share some interesting observation. During [...]

エリと二人で夕食後チョィ乗りしてきました。お天気よくてめちゃ気持ちよかったです。足元にあるのは砂ではなく牡蠣の貝殻。平べったいの探して、石投げではなく、牡蠣投げして遊びました。
Lil’Sis and I took a little ride out to Galveston Bay. Weather was gorgeous. By our feet was not beach sand but a whole bunch of oyster shells, as if they use the shells as lang fill. So we picked up some flat shells and made them skip on the waves.
