Home after a fabulous week in Aruba. Plane landed in Boston at 11:05 pm but Logan has to be one of the worst when it comes to luggage delivery and the first piece of anyone's luggage didn't make it to the carousel until 10 to midnight and we weren't out of the airport until 12:30am.Kevin and Jamie picked us up and I feel sorry for him because he has to be up for work this morning by 6:30 so it had to be 2:00am by the time they made it home. Needless to say, Rita and I slept in until quite late.I didn't delete the pictures of the gecko but apparently if you post a photo to Facebook's "your story", it expires after a certain period of time. As it is, some 50+ people apparently viewed it before it disappeared. I still have a few marks on my arm from the gecko's nails but there are no signs of infection and I cleaned the cuts thoroughly when they happened. Over all the weather in Aruba was wonderful and the casino was generous. We had very brief periods of rain on two of the seven days we were there and a torrential downpour that flooded the streets on the morning we left. By the time we left for the airport it had cleared and our flight home, though long, was uneventful.We had some very good meals at the food venues at Costa Linda and an excellent one at Susse Chalet but were very disappointed with a place which was formerly our favorite: Madame Janette's.There were six of us and when the meals were delivered, Rita's was absent and didn't arrive for about 10 minutes, and then only after one of the restaurant supervisor's came over to ask if there was a problem. When it finally arrived, with no explanation of the reason for the delay or even an apology, she says it was good, but I can't say the same for the rack of lamb I ordered. Overall the quality of the service was low, but the prices high.
