Aruba was great! Thanks so much to Hinda and Marty Klinghoffer for their terrific hospitality. We spent a fun week touring, snorkeling, sunbathing, swimming, and EATING! There are a ton of really good restaurants on Aruba (pricey, but really good). We sampled as many as we could. Madame Janette's was probably our favorite, but Amazonia - a carnivore's delight - was right up there for me.
I replaced my lost wedding ring. My last one is at the bottom of the Schroon River where I lost it tubing last summer. We bought this one in Aruba because that is where we bought the last one. Of course I had to buy it when gold is at a record high, but what are you gonna do?
Coming back wasn't as bad as it could have been. We were delayed in Atlanta for about an hour due to the snowstorm up north, but there were travelers who were seriously stranded. So we have no complaints. It was easier to travel when we lived near a major airport instead of having to travel through a hub, but that's one of the costs of living in paradise.
Last night I called my very best childhood friend, Biff. (My BFF is Biff?!?!) I found out in Christmas cards from him and from his sister that he had a triple bypass last summer. He is mostly OK but has not been able to work since then. His spirits were good, and it was great to talk to him.
This week we will be going to a bunch of parties, and then - finally - the end of National Gluttony Month. Let me see. I already did my exercise for this year. I guess I'll have to start thinking about which exercise I'm going to do in 2010.
Happy Holidays to all!
