Day 25 – Murder in Margaritaland

Today was a free day which gave us an opportunity to prepare for our Murder Mystery Dinner. How creative our guests were.














It was fun to watch them interact with each other to expand their wealth, collect clues, as well as give clues.











When all of a sudden screams were heard, then crying because a murder was committed. There was Sid, stiff as a board!










Thank goodness we had Sgt. Lord available to keep everyone away from the dead body, and believe me, that was a tough job. They kept trying to come closer as he ordered them to stand back. I thought he was authoritative. He didn’t seem to faze some of them, but she sure scared me!



Our tattoo artist, Sharon, was truly an artist. She did “free hand” tattoos for those who wanted them. I got a flamingo and Marsha got a gecko.


















Poor Sharon barely got to eat as her services were required non-stop.


Dick, who btw is an award winning smoker, has smoked several of our meals for us got a great tattoo.



I actually thought she would come away with the most money, but it turned out to be David who sold chances for a piece of artwork! What an ingenious idea!

















This was one of our more intelligent groups, or maybe they were just better at sleuthing because we had 4 people guess the murderer correctly! Good thing we had plenty of prizes.


We ended our evening with sad news. Two of the guests were leaving us after tonight. They only joined us for about two weeks (their main objective was to see PEI), they fit right in, and we enjoyed their company.



Bill and I also had sad news for our group. We will also have to leave the caravan on Saturday to return home. Bill’s father is in the hospital, and we need to be there. We always felt sad for those guests who end up leaving a tour early for whatever reason and now we have first-hand experience on that sadness. This has been such a fantastic group and everyone has brought enjoyment in some way to make it a fun trip. I hope everyone has enjoyed our blog which has enabled us to share our wonderful experience.

Ending the day on a good note, there is a great couple who will join the group for the Newfoundland part of the trip to replace us and hopefully the blog will continue so that Bill and I can keep tabs on our new found friends.
