Wowza!! We had a crazy thunderstorm all last night. And with it came the rain. It rained really hard. It was still raining when we got up.
Because it was raining we decided to do the buffet for breakfast since it is indoors. The hostesses at the buffet are so sweet and they always remembered us. They said it was because we were so kind to them. We always inquired about them. Anyway, we were almost done eating and Frida (one of the hostesses) came up and with a frown she said you didn’t tell us this was your last day and handed us a goodbye from the restaurant card. She said they were so sad to see us go and hoped we would come back. I really think they meant it.
Thankfully, it stopped raining around 10 so we could have one last beverage outside before we departed. All the staff was so great! Couldn’t have asked for better. At noon we departed for the new hotel.
Because our hotel transfer was exclusive to the airport, we had to take a taxi to the new place. Our butler made the arrangements for us which was nice. The poor taxi driver didn’t know where the new hotel was and asked for the address. It wasn’t on any of our paperwork but we looked on the map and he could tell from the map. He was super pleasant and visited with us on the way. It was about a 40 minute drive. I don’t think he was ready to go so far as we did because we had to stop for gas along the way.
The new hotel is huge. After we got checked in our new butler took us for a tour of the facility. I quite frankly got lost. Our room wasn’t ready so we sat and enjoyed a beverage. Once the room was ready our butler escorted us to the room and showed how everything works. We are really close to one of the lunch restaurants so we won’t have to go far for lunch….. Woohoo. And the sushi place is not as close but still pretty close so I can get my daily dose…. Another plus. AND a guy goes by about every 20 minutes to see if we need a beverage and walks it up to our swim out pool. Yes our room has its own private pool off the deck. Oh it is so nice to have a deck. We really missed it at the other place. Can’t wait to spend time on it the next few days. The room is great! The bathroom is huge … no bumping into each other. And the bed is so big we will have to take annual leave just to find each other. I think we will be getting a great night sleep. And the sound of the ocean just outside our door is a heavenly sound.
Dinner was a true experience. The food was not nearly as good or even good. And it was so loud in the restaurant we had to use sign language and text to converse. Art said he thought he might need some piano wire to floss the gnarly tasteless chunks of meat out of his teeth. We can mark that place off the list to go to again.
I got a call last night and I have to speak in church when we get back so I may spend some time preparing for it tomorrow……….or maybe not.
For now we are going to enjoy listening to the ocean on our deck til it’s time to go to bed……awwww.
