Day 13 – Aruba – October 7




We arrived at Aruba about 1pm today and it took till about 2pm to get off the ship due to all the mad rush and the group tours that had priority!  That didn’t matter too much in the end because once we disembarked and walked about a block we decided it was too hot and the stores were too “ship oriented” that we marched ourselves right back to the Island Princess!! 

The rest of the group soldiered on and did some poking around the shops and shopping centers.

The morning started out well with a definitive win at trivia where we conquered with 18/20!  The team was Edna and Les, Dan and Kathy and Al and myself!  We rocked!  Proud owners of “Princess pens”!  This afternoon was a bust and awful questions were asked.  We only squeaked by with a 10/20.  How tall is the Sears tower?  1100ft, 1300ft or 1400ft?  Pure guesswork.  Here’s another lame one: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the woman with the longest hair has 9, 15 or 19 feet of hair.  Really?  Lame questions that only require lucky guesses!

Tomorrow is the first of two more sea days before we reach Ft. Lauderdale.  Michele and Tom and Molly and Jim are doing the “ultimate ship’s tour” and will enjoy that very much.  We’ve done it before and really liked everything about it.  They get to go below the passenger decks and see the ship’s workings.  They also get to spend some time on the bridge with the Captain.  It takes about three hours and is so informative.

Tomorrow is also the last formal night which most of us will skip.  Dinner for us tomorrow in the Bayou Café!

Talk to you tomorrow!
XOXOXO
