Wednesday, April 13th

It is warmer in here this morning when we get up but certainly not horrible.  We do our usual morning thing and decide to head to the pool. While looking for a place to sit we see the Cincinnati Kid (he was from Ohio) and his wife having breakfast.  He looked a little rough and said he didn't leave the casino until after 3 AM but had made a come back before leaving.  We had a lazy day on the lazy river laughing and relaxing then playing our Words with Friends.  We actually had a Mud Slide sitting by the pool.  It's hard to believe it's almost over already.  There was so much that happened to us this trip that I just had to blog this more for Dede and I so we wouldn't forget the details.

We had a great afternoon and then decide we will either go back to the sushi place for dinner or try to find the other hotel restaurant, La Vista.  We also had to start gathering our things to pack.  I check my email too and find that we have been upgraded to First Class on the return trip so we are happy.  We did a pretty good job of getting packed while getting ready for dinner.

We follow the signs and it is actually in a building that is near the hotel pool and just past Ruth Chris but you have to go outside to get there.  We went in and read the menu and decide we will stay and it turns out to be a wise decision.  They had a seafood buffet or you could order from the menu but after walking around to check out what they had on the buffet, we decided on the buffet.  It was a good decision...the food was great! We really enjoyed it more than Ruth Chris and they had a carving station with prime rib that was awesome (even Debbie loved it and she doesn't really eat much meat), a station with crab legs, shrimp and oysters, salad station with antipasto section of olives,  cheeses and bread.  The entire center was all hot seafood dishes that were continuously replaced.

We of course head to the casino after dinner and the tables at the end where we have been playing are not open yet so we play slots.  Debbie played blackjack and I played 3 card poker later and did very well again.  I played with the same girls that were at the table the other night who were staying at Playa Linda.  They were a lot of fun.  When we head back our little Filipino man was waving at us as he sped to the door to get us.  We had some tea and talked about how great the trip was and with all the drama it was still so much fun.  We have to check out at 10 in the morning.  We have most of it done and the bill was under the door when we got back and there is a charge on there from the pool bar that is not mine so I will need to have them check on that in the morning.  It is the end of another beautiful day in paradise but it is getting warmer in here.
