Our “Jersey Shore” sources tell us several members from the cast hopped on flights Wednesday and were prepping to record the events leading up to, and including Mike’s release.

However, on Tuesday there were several production vehicles hauling equipment into the same house whereSnooki,Ronnie,Vinny,JWowwand Mike shot scenes for “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.”

You’ll remember, Mike’s ‘JS’ buds were there to support him during theTax evasioncourt proceedings, and even madeA pitiful– yet comical – attempt to persuadePresident Trumpto let him out early.

Sitchposted a videoof himself on his way to lockup back in January where he promised to come out a better version of himself.

One person outside the cast who is definitely excited to spend some QT with Mike ??? His wife,Lauren, who he married just months before heading to prison seems to havesomething special plannedfor the two of them.

The question: who gets more face time with Sitch in the first 24 … Sitch or the ‘JS’ crew ??? We think we know who Mike would pick. EIGHT months, bro.
