The young folks in our group partied until 2:00 am. We did what we like to do on New Years Eve, which is to dine with friends.
At 5:00, Dave and Irene had arranged to take photographs of our group by the ship photographer. He took family groups, cousin groups, sibling groups and finally the whole group, both inside his studio and also outdoors in Central Park. When finished with the photographs, we retreated to a 17th floor bar for a drink, where we discovered we had the place to ourselves, so after getting a drink, Dave made a series of gracious toasts, first to his children, then to his grandchildren and finally to Irene, all who have made him a happy man.
Wendy gave Dave and Irene a very cute card, signed by the whole group. It was a perfect card about taking a cruise. When the card is opened, the ships horn sounds very loudly. And she presented copies of congratulations to Dave and Irene from the Queen, Steven Harper, the Prime Minister of Canada and the Governor General.
Our whole group of 18 dined together. Everyone was wearing their best so we wined and dined together in style. It was a wonderful way to end the year.
