I just got back from AKL last night. The pool bar closed at 10. Funny story about that pool bar - I have been waiting to get a drink and sit by that pool since I made our reservation in Feb. I don't drink all that much, but it just seemed like fun, a tropical drink by the pool! This was a girls only trip for my DD (9) and I. Our first night we went for a swim, and I told her I was going to have a drink. "With ALCHOHOL?" she gasped. Yes, my little one, sometimes I occaisonally have a drink! Anyway, I stayed in the water with her so long that the bar closed, and I missed my drink. Well, she felt so bad for me! The next night it was 11 by the time we got to the pool - bar closed again. She was really worried now - "But, Mommy, you really wanted your drink!" I told her relax - not the end of the world if I don't get a pina colada. Next day, we hit the pool around 2:00 - bar is open. The kid is begging me to have a drink. Well, I don't generally drink in the afternoon, not that I have a problem with drinking in the afternoon, just not that appealing to me. I offered to get us both ice cream - "No, Mommy, you have to have your drink, thats your treat!" Long story short - I HAD to have that drink - for my little girl!
