As you can tell by my rating, I really enjoyed this episode from Season 5. Lots of laughs in the show.

Trying not to spoil too much but the vacation resort, Raoul's by the Bay in Neir, Mexico has some issues.....to put it mildly. (Legless beds, a missing wall, an overweight roommate who claims the bathroom, etc...)

Nice to see Lenny & Squiggy help with the girls suitcases. Sadly for the girls, this will add to the chaos that is to come.

When a tropical storm blows through, the comedic chaos ramps up. The physical comedy was excellent, as you would expect from Cindy & Penny.

Got to love the goat that wanders into the room.

Season 5 was full of great episodes.

What could possibly go wrong here at a nice vacation resort. Well maybe it's not that nice. Certainly not 5 star accommodations here.

The fact that one wall was missing in the hotel room will play into the comedy of this episode. ...and it doesn't disappoint.

When a tropical storm blows in, it is absolutely hilarious. (Not that there were other things that were quite funny already). As usual the physical comedy from Penny & Cindy is outstanding.

Actually at least a decade later, (I can't remember which episode of The Nanny), Fran Drescher was on vacation when a tropical storm blew in. They were outside during the scene. Excellent physical comedy as well.

I do remember Fran mentioning in an interview that she was a big fan of Laverne & Shirley.

Anyhow this episode would easily be in my top 10 favourite episodes of L & S.

The Funniest of Season 5

Near Mexico! Definitely one of the funniest of episodes of Laverne and Shirley, I laughed hard first watch, and most quoted (I quote the lines alot). Even the cast members were laughing you can hear Frank (Phil) laughing hysterically behind the camera. That star fish on Laverne's face gets me every time.
