thank you blenchi...i will be back in 2 weeks and we can spend some gossip time on skype. we have 12 hours until the airport shuttle picks us up. in fact they just called to verify. i am hoping that everyone behaves tonight so i can get some sleep and then i will check in before the shuttle to say a fond farewell.

never fear though. i will sneak a peak when i can from aruba and if the bucuticam comes back on line, we will let you know what day we will stop by there.

Would be nice to see you both on the webcam. My Skype will be open. This is you avatar now Kevin is the KING while your enjoying

yourself.

The BB house won't feel the same w/o you Queenie! We'll keep the dust under the rug for you, and will have a nice story to tell in yada I'm sure...

Have fun, Blenchi's avatar for you is perfect!

well everyone, here i am sitting in front of the computer. at least i slept for 3 hours. gave up trying now.

so in 2 1/2 hours the shuttle will pick us up. then we do that long airport thing. i still haven't figured out why they need your laptop out of its cover or why one tsa guy told me that it is more important for them to inspect sandals than any other shoe (what was he thinking? 'yeah, she can fit tons of explosives in the heel of that flat sandal under her bare foot.') or my favorite, when some tsa person told murray and i we look like terrorists! then they gave us the frisking routine.

but, we will get to aruba and see old friends and meet new ones. i wish it could be a 2000 people bb party but i know that is impossible.

treat kevin and corrine well please. they aren't as used to the abuse as i am, lol. oh and keep writing the story. keep it pg 13.

i promise to stop by frequently with reports and if the bucuti cam gets back on line we will be there during our second week. we will let you know when.

and on that note...ayo, my friends. hope for me that the two weeks does speed by.

Have a safe trip Sherry. Enjoy the Aruba I have come to know. Time stands still for know one, but in Aruba it will slow down for you. So just let it take you over and get the rest and relaxation you and your hubby deserve. I for one plan on taking it easy on Corrine - but Kevin - I might have to give him alittle trouble and see how he does. Ha

I am so jealous! We just got back and was just about over my depression until I read about you just leaving. Now the depression starts all over again. Wish we could be there with you guys.

You and Murray have a great vacation!!! Have an adult beverage or two for me!

I'm up for the challenge - I sharpened my teeth already, and I need to keep chomping on something to keep 'em razor sharp, so nothing wrong with a little trouble...or maybe chopped liver? Corrine, as Sherry has pointed out, that's one of my favorite foods, so (at least to me) that's no insult to be considered chopped liver. YUM!

heather learned that wave runners are not friendly creatures. she flew off and landed on her head and neck. whiplash! ouch! she will be ok. $45 and 2 scrips later and she is just fine.

Ouch!!! Glad to hear that all is well now!

not only is heather ok but she and harry arrived home safely tonight after eight days in paradise. it goes way too quickly. tonight we introduced andrea and paul and marianne and bill to rumba's. gotta stop eating there. i am losing my self control. i swear, it just keeps getting better. how can food be so good. never mind. don't answer that. my hips give me the answer.

Glad Heather is OK! Jamie goes on those darn things a few times during the summer because her boyfriend's step-dad owns a few of them. I sweat the whole time that she is out there!

I can't wait to hear more about Rumbas! I know Amy likes it too! I told Steve we need to put it on our list!

we will get heather to talk to jamie, lol. another good meal tonight. rio. loved it.

Just curious - how is your diet going, lol! No, seriously, I can't wait for YOUR trip report!

__________________

oh my god do i have to starve when i get home!!!! i don't want to come home. i don't want to starve. i don't want to leave aruba. my report is half ready. writing as i go.

I too had a visit to the ER for an ear infection.
If Heather had not had such a good experience at the Er i probably would not have chanced it.

Competent staff.
Thorough triage (BP, O2, listen to heart and lungs, temp etc)

Dr. in Aruba warned me NOT to fly on Sunday.
I flew.
She was right.

Saw my own physician and then referred to
an Otholaryngologist in Boston.
Saw that person this morning......told me i should not have flown.
He fiddled with my ear and now I am on another scrpt.
4 scripts now including the 2 from Aruba.

Now back to bed with heat compresses on my ear.
Diagnosis: Inner ear infection. Middle ear infection. Outer ear infection also known as swimmer's ear AND slight perforation of ear drum, which now has a wick in there to drain out the crud. Ear drum perforation was probably caused by flying.
