Another perfect day, 78 degrees, a few clouds and we were up
late. Ed went to exercise and when he
was done, we both went up on the deck to lay out in the sun for a few hours
before we went to lunch
.
After lunch, we went to the casino to play in the blackjack
tournament.
Both of us play and it was the first time ever Barb has ever
played blackjack and to play in a large money tournament made her very
apprehensive and while she played well, she didn’t make it to the finals.
Ed did make it into the finals and they finals were schedule
at 10:00pm
.
We walked around for a while and then went up to the food
deck and brought some snacks back to our room and sat on the balcony relaxing
before getting ready for the evening.
We met Brian and Sandi at the show which was a musical
production number and while it was probably good, the sound system was up a
little too much.
We had a quick dinner so that we could get to the tournament
for the finals
.
The finals was a typical blackjack tournament format. There were 7 players and we played 7 hands. The prize money was $15,000 for 1st,
$5,000 for 2nd, $2,500 for 3rd, $1,500 for 4th,
$1,000 for 5th and then 6th and 7th received a
$100 each.
Ed was in perfect position going into the final round and he
was dealt a 17. If the dealer would have
busted and if Ed would have had a 19 or 20, he would have would 2nd
place. As it was, he won 4th
place and $1,500. A disappointment that
he wasn’t higher but thankful for $1,500, particularly since this was a free
entry tournament.
After that excitement, we played a session and Barb lost
just a little had Ed had a nice win again
Tomorrow we arrive in San Juan at 3:00pm so we will have
part the day to relax on deck.
Night for now and hugs to everyone.
