Sheila Simkin It was Adios, Mexico. Adios to the buckets of cervezas on the beach, henna tattoos, parasailing, digging in the sand, playing in the waves, buying and watching the vendors. Adios to the ports of Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta.
Inside of looking back, time to look forward to 2009. Yes, it was time for the Gala New Year’s Eve celebrations tonight on the Norwegian Star. We slowly pulled away and waved goodbye to lit up Puerto Vallarta. Got all spiffied up for dinner, went into the Versailles Dining Room for a very yummy dinner and began ordering multiple selections. A few appetizers, couple entrees, three desserts and even more. I personally selected: a duck menage a trois (duck mousse, duck confit and duck slivers), oysters, a salad with brie cheese and walnuts, red snapper (didn’t like at all – very tough), and didn’t care for any of the two desserts I ordered. ex-Marine went for the lamb chips that were so outstanding, we ordered two more plates of lamb chops to share. No worries, if you didn’t care for something, just visit the Market Cafe where there is an extensive dessert buffet every night. Chocolate Fondue fountains and more…
After dinner, the Stardust Comedy Showtime and everyone went out on deck for the 2009 Poolside New Year Party. Dancing under the stars, bands, complimentary bubbly and party favors. Activities in the Kids and Teen Clubs, and before we knew it, the countdown to 2009 had begun.
Happy and healthy 2009 to everyone!
