We bought the automatic updating bingo package. All you have to do is watch your screen, it plays 48 games at once and you dont have to do a thing!
There were some pretty good lines for the Bingo Packages
We played four different games. Traditional Bingo, Four Corners, GO, and Blackout. We won on the game of blackout! Unfortunately there were two other winners as well, so we had to split the pot. We ended up getting back about $120 to our account. We paid $50 each for the Bingo machines, so we were good. It was really fun, they did all kinds of corny antics to build up the excitement, like standing up when you had one number to go. As part of our winnings they also gave us six free games so that we could come back for a chance at the $10,000 bingo on Saturday, well see.
Its hard to see but this is my winning screen
It was really corny and cheesy, but it was still fun. I wouldnt mind doing it again.
On our way to Bingo, we ran into our server who told us that Tritons opened for lunch at noon and that he would be working there. Id seen Tritons lunch on several peoples TRs and it sounded really nice, so I was all for going there. Besides I knew they had a burger on the menu, and Fran normally goes for that whenever she can.
Heres the lunch menu today.
Fran started off with the Chilled Strawberry Soup, she really loved this, in fact she knew that she was going to love it so much, she ordered two of them right off.
I had the Rockette Salad. I was afraid that these greens would be bitter, and they were a little bit. However on the scale of weeds that you can have in your weed salad, they are probably the least bitter. All and all it was good and light. It hit the spot perfectly.
She had the Reuben Sandwich, this was OK. To make them more quickly and more healthy, they used a Panini press and not a lot of butter. While it was healthier, it wasnt as tasty as a Reuben fried on the grill in saturated fat!
I got the Fettucine Pasta with Homemade Meatballs in a Rich Tomato Sauce with Parmesan Shavings. It wasnt as good as my own Spaghetti Bolognaise, but it hit the spot. I wouldnt call the sauce rich, in fact it was rather light, but it was good.
I had to run to my New World Wine tasting seminar, but not before scarfing down dessert. I really wanted to try the rum cake and boy! Did it pack punch!
So it was back to the Cadillac Lounge for the New World Wines, this means USA, Australia, New Zealand and South America. We again had a variety of reds and whites.
Our host was the same
We had a variety of wines. The first was a wine from New Zealand, a Sauvignon Blanc from Cloudy Bay winery. The second was a Sonoma County wine, Chardonnay from La Crema, not one of my favorite California wines, but not one of the worst.
The next two were red wines and those were a King Estate Pinot Noir from Oregon and a Robert Mondavi Cabernet.
We finished off with a Fairy Tale Celebration Cuvee
After the wine tasting I met up with Fran for a Gemstone Seminar. In actuality this was a massive sales pitch by the shopping guide in addition to a class, however one of the main reasons we wanted to go to this was for the coupon for the free pair of earring that she gave you. She talked all about the various diamond shops, tanzanite shop, and other rare jewelry that you could purchase in Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas. It wasnt a lot of information that Fran didnt already know since she is pretty knowledgeable on diamonds, their cut and clarity etc. I found that out when we were buying my engagement/wedding ring. It was less than an hour and we got all the discount cards and coupons we needed. Next I wanted to get a photo op with Ariel. Every other time we had tried to do it there was some kid or family in the way and I couldnt get near her without an unobstructed view.
