So sorry you were sick on vacation; total bummer. Safe travels home.

Wilfred was punctual and entertaining for our trip to Grand Case. Pedestrian traffic in Grand Case felt light as did some of the restaurants from our vantage point of the street. The familiar establishments like Bistro Caribe, LeCottage and, our dinner destination, LaVilla all seemed to be doing just fine. Pre dinner drinks at Calmos Cafe were a perfect start and the atmosphere and interaction… EXPAND ▼ with the Calmos crew was beyond expectation. Once at LaVilla JC met us at the door as if we were family although we have seen him less than a handful of times over the years. Dinner exceeded expectations with several of us having beef and my wife having Wahoo filet. Not so confident about the Foie Gras accompaniment with my steak Jc added that and the peppercorn on the side. Both delicious.

A beautiful beach and great meals all trumped by the company with which I have shared them.

Very Blessed COLLAPSE ▲

Always have enjoyed your reports. Thank you.

Will you enlighten me on the martinis? Is the presentation such that the martini is in a glass which then sits
in a glass of ice? In other words 2 glasses?

Thanks

"God IS good". Hopefully more people will recognize that and spread the word.

Thanks for the report. I have no interest in slots, will need to find out what options are available in June, for blackjack and roulette.

I stay at Emerald Beach each way and have always enjoyed it.Over time it has got better and more $$ but still reasonable for being right on the beach.I love the beach bar and the food has been getting better but I jump a cab to Frenchtown to dine..a treat for me to have the Etouffe at The French Quarter Bistro. My wife and I used to love dining at Oceana and I highly recommend that for a terrific… EXPAND ▼ romantic dinner and close to Emerald.I dont need a Ritz ..stayed in them in a few places in my time on someone else's dime..

Thank you for the replies. I spoke to the hotel we are staying at, they said Super U at Hope Estate is open on Good Friday, shortened hours. The restaurants in Grand Case are open on Easter Sunday except for those that normally close on Sundays.
Good news for us:-)

The ED Form is required before each trip. That requirement is specified in the FAQ's page.

Jack Daniel is made different in that is charcoal filtered before aging in barrels. It is however, made with same 51% corn mix as bourbon and is only made in Tennessee. I’ll drink to that.

thank you all for the wonderful recommendations! I will post back here soon and let you know how things turned out!!

Thanks Linda. 8 days for us which is average but I have slacked on posting. I intend to rectify with the last few days of meals and trips while our journey home.

Ahoy Capt. Maggie,

Yes, on a Leo 454.

sycamore--check this out--I submitted both of our applications on MARCH 24--4 days ago. Today, I get an email that my passport has been shipped! Amazing!! But so far, Eric has heard nothing regarding his. Hopefully he will hear soon.

Great story and easy to see why Island Birds is so great to work with...

Enjoy your visit!!
Any reports or pics would be appreciated for those of us stuck in Niagara

Thanks. I like lamb every way.

They will put more chairs out. Just have to ask and pay.

It doesn't appear to be 'efficient' for us at all, from what I'm seeing. We are in the middle of nowhere. It appears that I could rent one way from here and drop off in Miami, but cannot rent one way in Miami and drop off locally. Everything within an hour from our house, when I try to book it, says 'requires a change of location' and it won't even give me a price. And one way, dropping off in… EXPAND ▼ Miami was $100, so I have to assume the return, if I could find it, would be at least that much. COLLAPSE ▲

So sorry to hear you were sick. Yes, that virus is going around everywhere, but it is so awful to be sick on vacation---
I do understand!!!!
At least being at BSV, makes it a little easier.

Smarthie is a wonderful person--we miss seeing her ---please say hello for us.

Yes, I guess everything is increasing in price. Used to use park n fly then changed to Hilton garden and their parking rate. Now that’s gone up $130. But so has park/fly.
