· 5:30 tropical wear theme tonight at dinner. 3 of our couples dined at a VIP event so we invited friends and Milt Keiles, the lecturer to join our table (for 10). His wife, Joy insisted I sit to her right because she is hard of hearing. I politely ignored her and sat facing the crowd as I prefer. This is MY vacation!
Tonight's show was a superb performance by award-winning Latin dance team from Australia and New Zealand, Dance Trance. ⬅(Try to get an American, a Brit, and an Aussie to agree on how to pronounce that!) They opened with a passe-double followed by samba, cha-cha, and a spectacular tango!
I ended the evening ballroom dancing in the Ocean Bar.
Many guests watched the playoffs game in the sports bar.
Before retiring, I remarked how I had not turned on the television, once.
