Saturday, several years ago...

Many moons ago, when my husband was in
the Navy and we lived in Puerto Rico, one of my co-workers at the El Conquistador Hotel went on holiday to Aruba and came back all gaga
over the island and its beautiful beaches. Ever since then, Aruba has
been in the back of my mind, but I never thought I'd have an
opportunity to go there. Never say never.
My husband's manager has offered us the
use of his RCI timeshare to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and so
we are off to Aruba! Dave Moore, you are a prince among men. Thank
you!
The traffic from home was simple
terrible, and it took forever to get across the Bay Bridge. We
arrived at US Air Gate 1 at the San Francisco airport, having had
dinner at the terribly sophisticated International House of Pancakes
with our son, who graciously and with his arm barely twisted was kind
enough to drop us off for our flight. We were surprised to find
ourselves first (and only) in line at security (Is it the right day?
Are all the flights canceled?). We made it to the gate without any
hassle or delay, and now we're waiting for the first leg of our
flight, a “red-eye” (night flight) to Philadelphia. Once there,
we will transfer to our destination flight.
I just looked at my boarding pass, and
it hit me...I'm going to ARUBA!!! Sounds pretty exotic, doesn't it?
I'm hoping to get some sleep on the way to Philly, but I'm so
excited. The adrenaline's rushing, and I'm wide awake. So, we'll see.
Next up: We arrive in Aruba!
