Steve’s 50th Birthday at Reunion Resort
May 14th, 2009
I am feeling decidedly groggy today having celebrated my brother in law’s birthday all day yesterday. It was great day and it almost made me want to be 50 too, just so I could get loads of presents and sympathy!
Steve is the one in the middle of the photo, it seems that if your 50th birthday is approaching you had better be prepared to leave your self respect at the door. It was great that his good friends from Scotland flew over to celebrate with him as well.
After a champagne breakfast we all made our way to the Gathering Drive pool for a good few hours of sunbathing and swimming. This pool is great as not too many Reunion guests make their way down to it therefore leaving it quiet and relaxing for us civilized folk.
I think a good time was had by the birthday boy!
The day ended with a trip up to the Grande for a Forte meal in the bar. The food was fantastic! Steaks, tuna, bass and various pastas were all cooked perfectly and the wine flowed copiously all night. I would like to thank Alison and all the staff in making it a great evening.
Everyone had a fantastic time before we moved out on to the veranda for the ceremonial cake cutting and further champagne imbibing.
At some stage it was decided it would be a very good idea to set some balloons off into the night with a note attached explaining that if anyone found them they could call me and win a $20 prize. I wonder if anyone will?
Anyway, as with all good things the night eventually came to an end but what a great day!
I am suffering for it now though.
Did I tell you by the way, that the facilities at Reunion are just outstanding. I let out a few homes here as vacation rentals very successfully so if you want to make your next vacation one to remember take a look at them at VRBooker.com.
Also, if you own a home here (I see several of you have visited from the Reunion Owners Forum, “Hi”) I would love the opportunity to talk to you about how I could promote it for you (or even manage it). Email me if you have any questions.
