I am sure Trish will post in more detail when we get back home and there are certainly better pics than these, but here’s a quick summary to satisfy all those who are wondering.

We pulled off a great surprise. Trish had no idea it was coming, but still came off looking resplendent up on the big screens.

A nice tribute out in the lobby–we’ll put the text up later this week.

Trish was just shocked to be presented with the James E MacLennan Everyday Hero Award. As she went up to the ballroom stage a moving tribute was read about the journey with Rudy along with a slideshow. Standing ovation and more than a few tears.

She’s only figured out part of the mystery…the REAL reason we’re here is about to be made known…off to dinner!

I appreciate all the kind words about what a great husband I am to surprise my wife. Thanks, the encouragement is worth all the effort that’s continually demanded of me. Right now, Trish is somewhere reliving tour memories so I went and worked out in one of those places replete with nice towels (used about a dozen, just cuz I could). Now my burden is deciding which of three pools I must sit at.

Hold on–I jus discovered that I can get in one of these inner tubes and the current will do my swimming for me. Not only that, but if you order a drink, Cabana Louie will have it cold and ready and run it out to you on your next pass. Settles it.

25 years ago, Trish travelled the world spreading peace, love and goodwill. Here to relive the memories and see old friends.

Is it hot here? Oh, that’s just my wife!

Pizza. From a box. On a plane headed to Tucson.

I think Rudy has a toy plane bigger than the one we’re sitting on.

Which flight is next? Or is there no next flight? Gotta keep Miss Smarty-Pants guessing….

This woman found out this morning that she needs to get on this plane. She doesn’t exactly know why….

Stay tuned for updates.
