Most of my travel down has been covered in the arrival to PJIA thread. I was rather shocked to find the AA flight from CLT was just a little over 1/2 full. I had an entire row to myself and several other rows were totally vacant as well.

I got my rental and checked in with Angela at The Horny Toad. It appears I am the only guest here. Doug and Debbie are off island but return on Saturday. Angela was kind enough to provide me with a couple of beers since alcohol sales were banned until 6:00am Tuesday.

I wanted to make a grocery stop but traffic in the Simpson Bay/Cole Bay area was very heavy due to the elections and last minute campaigning. I will make a grocery run tomorrow. I went to The Greenhouse for prime rib. They were very slow but I was early. They were serving a full bar. The prime rib was decent, I have had better and I have had some not as good. I would rate is a 7 on a scale of 10. Two side dishes and a johnny cake made for a nice meal. I ate at the bar and when I left they had a few tables filled. In talking to the bartenders, they have been very slow for a several weeks now. It was probably as slow as I have ever seen the place.

Back to Horny Toad and in for the evening. I have been up since 2:30am but can't seem to sleep so I thought I would update my travel day.

Enjoy your stay! It always takes me a couple of days to get my sleep patterns down.

At Horny Toad are you up upstairs or beach level?

From the picture he posted in another thread, he's upstairs. My guess, since he's the only guest, is he's in #4 - on the end by the pavilion.

Off to a good start! Do you usually make a trip there in August?

I have been in in August in the past but it has been many years. I found air on AA at a very reasonable fare so I jumped on it and you can't beat The Horny Toad in low season.
