At 7.30pm it was time to gather downstairs for the Stampin' Up Grand Vacation Welcome Dinner.  Just look at the beautiful setting. 

Did you see how the flower on the chocolates matches the tablecloths?  The attention to detail is just wonderful.  We feel so very spoilt. 

A welcome message from Shelli, then Dave Baugh said grace and it was time for a delicious meal.  (After a whole swag of cameras came out of course!)

The sun set and the moon came up.  A fire in the fire pit.  Wow - just a lovely lovely evening. 

The St Regis Resort looks beautiful at night too.  

There's a turn down service as well.  I wondered what that was - turns out that someone comes into your room, turns down the bed, puts little slippers beside the bed and robes out, pops your bedlamp on and puts a glass and water out, ice in the ice bucket ......

I feel like I've been parachuted into another life - the life of the rich and famous.  Ha ha.

When we got back to our room there was even a gift from Stampin' Up. 

Inside was a windcheater for John and a hoodie for me. 

Wow - and this is just day one. 

My sister and parents have been sending updates on the kids (as well as our phone calls.)  They're looking very happy too. I loved these pics Melissa sent through.

They both liked the sound of all those lollie jars in the hospitality area/gathering place. 

Well, almost time for breakfast.  Back with another update another day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers, Sue
