I have a little more writing energy now to write about my night last night and my day today.
Arrived at Trump a little before 5 p.m. We were given a beautiful complimentary room for us, and one for Jimm and Monica. Never stayed at Marina. It was really tastefully decorated. Nice. My style.
Went down and played on the slot machines for awhile and then went to Hooters for a quick bite to eat before our pals arrived. Nice time at Hooters, and the food was pretty good too. I'm not much into ordering fried food, but a grilled cheese sandwich and some curly fries are pretty good once in awhile.
Jimm and Monica finally arrived after a 3 hour ride! Yeah!! At that point, I had already polished off more than half a bottle of wine, I was feeling really relaxed and ready for a good night. Monica didn't want to drink anything at first, but once she did, I think she was a happy girl for joining me! We finished off the wine, and then I remembered that I had bought a little bottle of Absolute Pear Vodka. I am SOOOO not a hard alcohol drinker, so that shot went down with a burn. LOL! It burned my throat and my ears. :) The only time I tasted Pear was in the aftertaste. I would never buy that stuff in a large bottle. I'm thinking I may never drink any of that again.
We had a great time on the Casino floor. Oh, almost forgot! The power went out through out the whole place and was being powered by a generator. I was wondering why it was so dark in the hallways of the Hotel. I am SO glad I wasn't in an elevator when it happened. I was actually in the hotel room, enjoying my wine when I saw the lights go out right outside our window. I think all their big Marina signs must have gone out. And the air went off... But, It didn't phase me in the slightest. As a matter a fact, I sort of liked it. :)
Anyway, I got in trouble for taking pictures in the Casino. A little Chinese man who worked there came running over to me pointing his finger at me telling me I can't take pictures in the Casino. OOPs. I kind of knew that, but I didn't think about it.. that must have been the wine... I DID enjoy feeling really tall when he approached me. He was a tiny little fella. I should have scooped him up and sat him on the top of my slot machine as a good luck charm. LOL! But, instead, I promptly put the camera away like a good girl. And, I waited until I was in a different part of the casino before I took it out again.
I think we were up until about 2 a.m., running around the casino like kids. I couldn't believe how empty the place was. Not like the old days I tell ya....
We all got up and went out for a nice breakfast this morning. I was very thirsty.
:)
Then, off to Brigantine. It was like zero degrees out. I can't believe how bitter cold it was. Jimm and Monica were able to upgrade their timeshare for August, and I was so happy for them. I think they enjoy their week in Brigantine as much as I enjoy cruising. I love to see them happy. I know they were.. and I know they had fun last night... YAY!!!!!!
