Day 10 - 7th January
Jill's Birthday & Aruba

Today it was Jill's birthday so we commenced celebrations at breakfast with the card and present opening ceremony!

It got pretty close - missing the funnel by about 100 feet |
Thankfully it was just doing a normal approach on Aruba airfield |
Jill's birthday party began in Dennis's suite with 4 bottle s of champagne before dinner ....
|
|
Her birthday dinner was rounded off with our 7th bottle of champagne and a baked Alaska accompanied by 1/2 dozen singing waiters (They should have removed the 80th birthday card!) |
|
| Brenda & Jill finished the night in the night club - somewhat worse for wear! |  |
End of Day 10
