Vacation po polsku

After a certain time everybody needs vacation. And after about 10 times negotiation with my girlfriend we finally found a week we would spend togther. My girlfriends task was to find and book a all-inclusive-offer for one week. Yes, that was our (or my?) aim: The big and important three B's (in every possible combination):
Beach
Beer
Book

OK, my girlfriend spared out the second big B, and added a very big S like Sun. We found an all-inclusive in Hurghada, Egypt. Perfect! The first vacation of this type in my life. At the airport gate first confusion:
- Darling, what airline are we flying? [well, as old airline employee always the first question.]
- I don't know. The girl that sold the tickets did not know the airline's name but told me they are safe.
- How can it be safe if we don't know who it is at all?
- PLEASE! Stop it. We cannot change it anyway.
- Ok, ok. I am quiet.

So I observed other Polish cheap-airline-ticket-victims and realized a strange behaviour: Excessive shopping of Vodka and other alcohol in the one and only duty free shop at Wroclaw airport. "What the hell are they buying that stuff" - I was wondering myself - "it is all-inclusive! Geee, bloody newbies." But after some observer minutes I became scared (and sweaty): Maybe all those people are not newbies but experienced-Hughada-all-inlcusive-tourists!?
- Darling?
- Yes?
- Do they have for sure all inclusive in all-inclusive?
- What do you mean?
- Do I get my beer? I mean...
- I don't know. Maybe?
- Hmmmmmm.
- OK, I know if you don't have beer in your vacation, I have a problem. [Damn right!] So please buy yourself some cans in duty free. [DAMN RIGHT! Brilliant! She is right - as always!]

A few minutes later and some pounds heavier cabin baggage I was happy again. Finally our airplane arrived, a B737 with big winglets from AMC airline. "Never heard before that airline, but those winglets for that airplane type are quite new, hence no problem" I analyzed. The vacation could start...

... and the rest of the vacation is told quickly:
- The triple B concept was great!
- About 80% of the tourists in our hotel were Russians. I met one German family and was wondering what they think they ended up with.
- Of course beer was included in all-incluse. Hence I bought some expensive beer for nothing.
- After four days I was ending up with German behaviour and occupying sunloungers even before breakfast (Bloody Russians must wake up at 4am!).
- After one week my girl friend started talking Russian to me, time to go home.
