23rd Aug-2012-Evening Happenings at Sands, Kalutara,

It was now time to either relax on the beach benches......or jump in for a swim! Some of us decided to do the latter as Saby, Mins, Carmel, Shobana and Chrys decided to give swimming amiss. Instead they just chilled on the apparatus laid out - to..." just be"

The other's Tani, Sonali, SunChu and me decided take a dip in our cool swim wear.....(Will have to ask Someone for a pic...that was taken by Shobana and Sunchu --but no idea whose camera has that...

Then ....the late birds arrived...having missed quite a bit of the afternoon fun- Ladies I need you to post a comment on what you did when you arrived- Ros, Big Saby and Naloo....

The others decided to shower change and congregate in room 207- The Bartender was ready for us there.
And that was none other than our dear Shalini!

Shalini making concoctions!

Whilst enjoying our drinks, in walks our MS Shobana, in a typical Khurtha dress...expecting to go for dinner in that!

All of us basically voiced out loud that we weren't letting her come in her relaxation garb...and she was so enjoying herself....to have made us think she was our chaperone aunty or something....

Finally we made our way down to a specially arranged buffet for us ladies- (SABY Jayah's meticulous planning). We tucked in to our heart's content and clicked many pics...some of which will tell you about the mood...we were all in...all ready to enjoy the  sumptuous meal!

We cut the cake that was addressed all of celebrating together! So it said " Happy Birthday All"

Then to the dance floor we went- to show the endurance , and to dance all our cares(if any ) away..and to just be free and let our hair down--(and some jeans down..too=almost! really!) Some stamina the girls had Ros Carmel, Mimi and Chrys were dancing the full 2 or more hours...the Dj was good he knew what we'd like almost by instinct and also with a little help from our Ms.Sab's.

It was time to exchange gifts....and off we went to room 209..........

24th morning was the time to "just be". We gathered together in room 210 while some slept and others chatted and also closer to lunch we had a few more.......
