Now for the Birthday on the Beach "Main Event"--time to rally around the party flag!
What a setting... Dreams (and Jytte) did an amazing job. This is the "Before" picture...
Truly a "Birthday on the Beach!"
Beverage of choice? Dreams had it all!
Bro' Mike, Birthday Boy, Susan, and Mike... little did we know what was in store.
Karen, Birgit, Steffen and Ilse enjoy the beautiful sunset.
Hillary and Jackson...like father-like son... somebody say food?
Romain and Anita... the best dressed couple- again.
Margareta, Karen, and Jackie--these girls are ready to party!
Jackson enjoys the company of these "...on the Beach" Beauties: Birthday Girl, Allison, Hanne, and Hillary.

Mark carries Anita across the Beach "Threshold"
I heard someone say there might be food here...
Some surf... (Sea Bass)
Or would you prefer the "Turf"... (Filet Mignon)?
Did everyone save a little room for dessert?
1957... A very good vintage that only improves with age!
Robert, our "Group Sommelier", even gave the wine a glowing endorsement: "not bad for a wine that's not from California" Thanks Robert, SKAL!
The Birthday "Kids" prepare for the Mexican Hat Dance...and Margarta and Anita's tribute to Abba.
Margareta and Anita seranade Mark and Jytte with the Mexican version of Abba's "Waterloo/Mexico", followed by the traditional "Graduation Birthday Song." From now on, whenever anyone at the party hears "Waterloo" or attends a graduation ceremony, they wil
Jytte expresses her thanks for the touching music, "We've had the opportunity to prepare these songs together, and the more champaign, the better the song-- you two must have cleaned out every liquor store on two continents... great job-- Tusind Tak!
A new American tradition... singing songs about the "Birthday Boy"
Jackson and Allie leads the the group in the champagne toast... Bravo Zulu, shipmates!
Thanks guys, you're the best!
Mark thanks Jackson for the great toast-everyone shared his heart-felt words.
Next came the Mexican Pinata... rid yourself of six bad habits. Jytte imagines six "uncooperative" people at work--take that...and that!
Mark's turn at bat... swing and a miss--"strike one"-- perhaps another verse of "take me out to the pinata game" would help...
Schwacking a pinata is almost as tough as running a marathon... This wine is better than Gatorade!
One more verse of Abba's "Mexico!"
It's time for everyone to take a group shower in confetti and party foam!
Anita is caught in a Cancun "Confetti Storm"
Get up, get up, get down!
"X" marks the spot... it also "marks" Mark
Tim thinks our exclusive Birthday on the Beach "Styling Foam" might make it's way into his product line..."party attitude" in a spray can-- has potential!
Allison asks, "when will these so-called 'grown-ups' ever grow up"
Shake it--but don't break it... now that's what we're talkin' about!
Mark does his Gene Kelley "Singing in the Spray Foam" routine
The last magnum bids adieu.
Jytte leads her big brother around the sand
I'm sorry, but my dance card is full... go ask Jytte.
Mike really enjoyed the wine! It's true- this wine makes you a much better dancer!
Com'on Baby, let's do the twist...
The "bump" is alive in Cancun-- he live's right next to Elvis
Mor og soen, on the the floor-- I mean sand
Hanne discovers this is what happens when you dance with Mark-- de golas.
Hey Macarena--ugh!
Oh Mike, you're such a good dancer... Ouch, that's my foot!
Aye caramba woman... now that's MY foot! But it's only a flesh wound-- nothing that a little more wine won't cure...
Tim and Susan fly off the dance floor...
Birgit and Robert-- Ole'!
Kickin' up some sand in Cancun--yeah baby!
So... just how low... can you go...
Com'on, com'on say "ooooh"... na-na-na--na-naaaaa....
Karen teaches the youngsters how to "cut a rug"--or "carve the sand" in this case.
Carlos shows Margareta how "real" Mexicans dance-- aye chihuahua!
Ava, neguila, ava... Oye, such a Mensch!
Touchdown... Susan and Robert...
The party just keeps getting better and better!
And after five hours of Birthday on the Beach hearty-party... the "After-photo"... but the evening was still young!
Midnight? The evening's still young! Robert directs the "Party Flag" to the next venue-- Azucar Disco...
We'll just sneak this 12' flag on a steel pole past the bouncers...no problem!
Birthday on the Beach conquers the Azucar Discoe!
...Naval and Air Superiority established... I mean "Dance Floor Superiority!"
Now the party resumes with Birthday on the Beach in full control--
Actually, completely out of control... as the waiters soon figure out.
Com'on Jackie... Just one more Salsa, then you can take a break...
