The Service Today is Awesome

 We could not have asked for a better day today.  We had a lovely breakfast at one of the sit down restaurants.  Yes we sit down at every restaurant but this was not a buffet.  It was delicious and the service was a great! We got loungers on the beach.  We had great service down there. The staff was very attentive and friendly.  The weather was beautiful.  The temperature was only 71 but it felt like 81.

Trixie and I went for mani/pedi and back massages. The girl who did my mani/pedi rushed through mine.  I am not sure she felt good.  She kept sneezing and sniffing.  The guy Trixie had was awesome.  We laughed when we walked out, we caught a couple of the workers hugging.  When they saw us they parted ways so fast you would have thought we caught them doing something really bad……and Trixie said AAHHH, we saw that.  They were so embarrassed.  We all made a bunch of jokes had a good laugh. 

Everyone here,  guest and workers, all think the Ol Coonster is Santa.  It is so cute!  He needs to start carrying candy canes with him to hand out.  

Our waiter at dinner was so sweet and our service was awesome!  I asked him for a ginger ale with a splash of cranberry juice. This is my usual drink.  Art asked him what he gave me because it was one of the best drinks I have ever had….and it wasn’t my usual drink.  Instead of cranberry juice, the bartender used cherry juice.  Oh it was soooo good.  He even gave me one to take with me.   We left the restaurant and went  to the sweet shop.  We sat at the sweet shop and visited for awhile then back to the room for bed.

 I would say the service all day was just incredible.  

Several years ago Art got me a pair of goofy sunglasses.  The last trip we took together, we all tried on the glasses to see who wore them best.  We recreated it this year.  I think the ol Coonster wins it this time.  What do you think?

Shopping

We got to sleep in this morning.  It felt so good.  We all met for breakfast.  We had the buffet.  After breakfast we got an Uber and went in to town. We did some shopping.  There we found out there is a Coppell’s here.  We were told it was about a 10 minute walk so we decided to do it.  They didn’t say it was mostly up hill.  Yikes!  But we did it.

We did stop at a farmacia and Trixie inquired about a certain drug.  The lady excitedly said she did have it.  She then went through a door that I assumed was a backroom with shelves and medication on them.  Trixie was close to the door and asked me to stand behind her which I did.  by doing so, I  had a clear shot through the door.  To my absolute horror, the woman was standing on the sides of an open toilet.  Yes….. I said toilet.  She was balancing her feet on the sides while she was pawing through bins looking for the drugs.  She found several different kinds and proudly brought them all out.  Just to be clear Trixie did not purchase any of those drugs.  As horrifying as it was…. We got a good laugh.

We went back to the hotel for lunch and made spa appointments.  After dinner we went back to fire tables and listened to a couple of violinists.  Some of us (ok it was me) had trouble staying awake so we headed back to our rooms early.  

Now to bed………… 

New Adventure

 It is harder and harder to get up so danged early but we managed it.  We left early yesterday morning for our fun fun fun adventure.  We flew to Portland and met up with Trixie and the ol Coonster.  I will say the flight was great.  Art said it was the best flight he had ever been on.  To say it was a smooth ride was an understatement.  The take off and landing could not have been any better.  My sinuses always plug when I fly that direction but not this time,  I got some awesome new airphones for Christmas and they were truly awesome! 

We had a  lovely breakfast with Trixie and the ol’ Coonster..  Then off we went.  We actually arrived a a decent hour in the afternoon.  The hotel is lovely.  After checking in we met for chips, guacamole, and shrimp cocktail.  Then after a quick drink at the lounge, we went for a a delicious dinner.  We sat and visited at the outdoor fire tables. Then off to bed.  I could hardly keep my eyes open….. Bed was so comfy.   We’re off for some fun adventures today……. Stay tuned.
