Looks like it's time for another adventure with Garfield, everyone's favorite lasagna-loving cat, and it looks like he's going on a vacation in today's story. Let's see where he is going!

Our story of course, opens on a boring morning at Garfield's house, where we see our favorite cat walking gloomily to his equally gloomy owner, Jon Arbuckle.

"Morning Garfield." Jon deadpanned.

Garfield tapped on Jon's shoulder. "Morning Jon."

"You know Garfield, all the color has drained out of our lives." said Jon. "There's nothing to do around town, we've done everything we can possibly think of, and there's nothing left for me to think of."

"I wish I could tell you that." Garfield rolled his eyes.

"That's it!" said Jon. "Time to take a stand! Garfield! We are going on vacation!"

Garfield smiled. "Oh boy! Now the color is coming back!"

Garfield ran to the closet and started to pack his bags for an exciting time for rest and relaxation.

"Oh my God!" he thought. "An actual vacation! It's been quite a while since I've been on one. I wonder where we'll go this time? Maybe Hawaii, Mexico, or Italy..."

GARFIELD'S HAWAIIAN FANTASY

Garfield was on a Hawaiian island, where he was playing a ukulele and relaxing on the white, sandy beach.

"This is the life..." he thought. "Just relaxing on a white, sandy beach, and playing this ukulele."

Just then, the ground started to rumble and it shook Garfield like crazy.

"So much for that." he rolled his eyes.

Just then, Arlene in a Hawaiian hula attire came running towards the fat tabby, looking scared and desperate.

"Help! Help!" she grabbed Garfield. "The volcano is about to erupt, and my father's village is in danger. Please Garfield, you must help us!"

"Your father's village?" Garfield raised an eyebrow.

"Of course." Arlene nodded her head. "He will allow you my hand in carriage, if you stop the volcano's molten lava from destroying us all."

Garfield smirked. "Look baby cakes, you may be cute, but you're not cute enough for me to risk my life."

GARFIELD'S MEXICAN FANTASY

Garfield was in a Mexican village, where he was wearing a sombrero and he saw a young senorita cat.

"A fair senorita." he thought. "I must attempt to impress her by doing a Mexican hat dance."

Garfield then started dancing on the sombreo that was right in front of the senorita, and smashed it to the ground.

"So, would the fair senorita like to go out with me?" Garfield made a suggestive look at the senorita.

"Oh I would love nothing more, but I'm afraid my boyfriend won't approve." the senorita smirked.

Garfield gulped. "Boyfriend?"

"Yeah," the senorita nodded. "And he's pretty angry that you smashed his sombrero...and very jealous that you tried to flirt with me."

Just then, a big, strong, bulky, and angry looking cat came stomping and growling right at Garfield.

Garfield grinned. "Hola?"

The big cat then started pounding Garfield for flirting with his girl.

GARFIELD'S ITALIAN FANTASY

Garfield was rowing a fair contesa cat on a gondola, while meowing a romantic song to her.

"Where to now my fair contesa?" he looked at the girl cat.

"How about to my place for some lasagna?" the contesa batted her eyelashes.

Garfield gasped. "Lasagna?! Now we're talking baby!"

Garfield dove right into the river and started to swim right to the tasty lasagna, leaving the senorita behind on the gondola.

BACK TO THE REALITY!

"...yeah, those are the places we really need to go to!" Garfield thought. "Cause wherever we're going is gonna be fun! Cause it's not gonna be here!"

Garfield then walked to Jon with some swimming gear, ready to hear what Jon had to say about the vacation.

"Don't keep me in suspense fella!" he smiled right at his owner. "Tell me where we're going! Italy? Rio? Or how about a Carnival Cruise?"

"I hope you're ready to hear where we are going Garfield, because we are going camping in the woods!" said Jon.

Garfield's face then became gloomy and deadpan. "I'll try to contain myself. Whoo hoo..."

Author's Note:

Looks like Garfield is off on another fantastic adventure with Jon, Odie, and Lyman, but not the kind of adventure that he is dying for. While the gang is getting ready for their camping trip, let's check back with Orson and see if he and Grunty have made it to the big city.
