Just got back this afternoon from a wonderful trip to Aruba, staying at our timeshare in Divi Village. We had our traditional lunch with friends, at Charlie's Bar and gambled nightly at the Alhambra. I managed to win at the blackjack machine each night, making between $1.25 to $6.00 each night ! Last of the big gamblers ! The highlights were the people we met. A waitress who worked in the bar at the Alhambra, and one of our Aruban housekeepers were wonderful to talk with! We also took the opportunity to eat at the Manchebo French Steakhouse restaurant both Tuesday and Friday nights, having blackened grouper the first night and blackened mahi-mahi the second night, while listening to Eddie Samson at the piano both nights. It was a thrill to finally meet Eddie, as we stop to hear his piano each time that we come to Aruba. We talked several times and it was a joy for me as he is an exceptional pianist and has played there since 2001. The trip back not so good. Missed connection in Charlotte. Made it to Cincinnati the next day, while our baggage has taken a side trip to DC. Hope to see the baggage soon ! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
Paradise is an island in the Caribbean!
