Rosemary--we have to wait until June before we come, but definitely counting down the days!

Safe travels home.

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.

Enjoy your trip. Sounds like a good start. And yes.....God IS good.

Great idea of splitting the lobster sort of like an appetizer

Even without a food budget, I find the lobster over priced even as good as it is, the best Thermidor on the island (opinion)

After going to Bistro Caribes for so many years the Thermidor novelty has worn off, so much so that we only stopped by last year only to say hello and did not eat there

May reconsider sharing a smaller one as an appetizer and trying to find interesting main courses

Bistro Caribes is another restaurant that doesn't change their menu much and while the food is good, nothing really jumps out off the menu that makes me really want to return, yes this is critical but I eat to live

That being said, we always love the service, hospitality and excellent rum shots at the end

Also it's hard to splurge on them big lobsters after being in Maine a month before where lobster are about 60% less expensive

He would ask for you to pay him to watch your car
I would pretend that I thought he wanted to wash my car
I would respond it was a rental car and doesn't need to be washed

He definitely has some issues but was harmless

really never worried about any damage to car cause he was always watching over lot

Used to be a guy in parking lot across from Le Pressoir who would charge $5.00 for parking until you told him it was a free lot
Also never any troubles there
Haven't seen him for many years

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 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 Miami was $100, so I have to assume the return, if I could find it, would be at least that much.

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.

Too bad!

Death in Paradise is free on Prime? I love that show, but am watching shows from several years ago now.

Anyway, safe travels tomorrow!

For those around CGB, Myetts has a FB post saying Bankie Banx will perform a set for HH today.

All right guys, let's move on.

Yup. We learned the hard way on our one and only June trip to keep several of our old large water bottles full from the tap and a full one next to each toilet.
