Mrs Highlander's Fabulous 40th Trip
Cast: Me:- Steve 40 something,paymaster general
DW:-Jacquie 40 soon will be something,
DD:-Stephanie 16 typical teenager,drama queen, princess (etc,etc)
DS:-Danny 14 (enough said)
Saturday 20th Oct last full day
Today was our last full day, both myself and Danny had an early rise as the Old Firm where playing back home with a 12:30 kick off that's 7:30 over here so we are up around 6 get a coffee and some breakie from lounge as it was open early, a taxi to lucky leprechaun for 7 and $10 cover charge but Danny was free, the pub filled up quickly and believe it or not we had an interloper arrive 5 mins before kick off in his Rangers top, he was advised to sit in the corner, well it was the worst 90 mins of our holiday and to top it off it was raining when we left, we walked back to Universal as the rain just summed up the mood of the morning, I called DW and told her we got stuffed (3 nil for those that didn't though) we arranged to meet at HRH, then DW called to say she couldn't find camera bag, so we detoured back to RPR despite a thorough search of the room it was gone, DW tried SW and the taxi company but no joy so to sum it up at 10am on our last day,
1) Celtic beaten 3 nil
2) Raining, very cool, dreary
3) Camera bag lost along with a full memory card plus 4 other memory cards , plus 2 packs rechargable batterys total cost in £125-$250,
:mad2: :mad2: :mad2:
get the picture
We headed over to HRH as we had the Stevie Wonder Cabana booked for today and we where sharing with Pam, Bill and Olivia who had arrived for their two week vacation yesterday so basically their first day and our last day, Stephanie had also invited Justin who she met at the concert on Tuesday night at the HOB as they had been in regular contact on the web since then, also BevS97 was hoping to pop in later and say hello as they where checking into RPR today for the night, so basically a mini dibb meet
I wont bore you with the details, but we had a great time the kids had a great time as well, Bev and Phil and their two kids joined us during the day and it was pretty good just chatting chillin and relaxing although Pam is a Rangers fan so she had a gloat or two, Bill and myself got quite merry on Newcastle Brown my first time trying it and its at HRH on tap,we also enjoyed watching a volleyball match taking place and wished we where 20 years younger
, we also had cocktails, food (the portions at the beach bar are huge) and ice creams the kids joined in the pool games, Olivia and Danny mad a small fortune as all the kids got tokens for the games room for taking part but most just gave their tokens to those two who came back with prizes from the games room, poor Justin was hijacked by the girls and I'm sure Olivia tried to drown him at one point, the weather heated up and before we knew it time had passed Phil and Bev left around 4 to see if their room was ready Bill and Pam left a little after 7pm (till next year) and Justin's mum arrived about 8 to pick him up we then packed up said good bye to our waitress and wandered back to RPR, HHN was in full swing and Citywalk was jumping we had to show our hotel keycard to get on the boat for some reason, once back at hotel I checked in online and printed off our boarding passes , once back in the room we finished packing then watched a movie it had been a bad start but thankfully a great day and a good end to our holiday
Pictures to show
First the dibb gang
