Backdated - November 07 Bookclub trip to Sin City

This is a trip I will remember always, taken with my special friends of the Book Club. Our club has nothing whatsoever to do with reading, unless you count reading menus and winelists. It is an excuse for us to get out once a month and just be ourselves with our very best friends.

We are 8 ladies, mostly with husbands and 1 or two small children. We have not forgotten who we are or how to have fun and once a year we go away together. In 2006 we went to the Caledon Spar and in 2007 we went to Sun City. Sadly we lost one of us to cancer just before the trip, but she was with us in spirit the whole time. So much so that our booking into the Cabanas was bumped up to the entire stay at the Palace, at no extra charge. We ate too much, drank too much and danced too much, and that was just at night. We were like kids. We tried out every single swimming pool of the entire resort and that included the slippery slides. We made new friends and did not stop laughing.

I love my friends dearly and look forward to our trip this year - a 3-day cruise.
