Well Elaine, this is the first time I have had to check in since we got back 11 days ago

But Aruba didn't disappoint. We had a great time again and the fun never seems to stop. Every year we try to do something different and this year was no exception as we rode the "tubes" and really had a blast. The only disappointment was Pure Ocean. We have gone there the past couple of years and always had a good meal. This year, the food was awful and the service questionable. My meal was forgotten and I had to ask 3 different servers and one manager where it was and all I got was a blank stare. When it was brought out, it was cold. Val's mashed potatoes were cold also, not just lukewarm but cold. The couple we always go with had bad meals also and we are not picky eaters. Anyway, that being said, the rest of the trip was great and the Southwest flights went good. From check-in line to the gate was about 50 minutes on a Thursday. Not bad! Believe it or not, I may try a trip report this year!!
