I usually try to keep these short and sweet. Mainly because I kill a few brain cells there and tend to forget, <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Traveled this year with Werner and Phyllis, my sister in law and brother in law, my niece Tina and her boyfriend Rob and our son Chris.

Air Flight: AA667 from JFK about 90 minutes late departing. It was a bit foggy that morning. AA660 from SXM was on time. Both flights were pleasant. Amazing Grace stayed calm.

Pelican: The resort looks great. My room was in great shape. Computer problems made check in a horror. After 90 minutes late on plane I was in no mood. I did recover.

Car Rental: Michael @ Unity as great as always.

Beaches: Dawn and Busby's on Sunday. Friar's and Kali's on Monday. Joba is the man. Tuesday turned into shopping and the pool. Orient and Waikiki on Wednesday. Kids parasailing. Thursday was Mullet. Friday we left it up to the kids and they voted for Friar's again. The blender was roaring. We had a better time this day if that is even possible, but we did. Roberth and his wife Judy, I think, ( I told you I kill brain cells ) were there and we had a great time.

Dinner: [color:"red"]Pineapple Pete's[/color] on Sunday. We have had lunch there but never dinner. We were not disappointed. Was great. We had lunch there on Wednesday also. [color:"red"]The Wharf[/color] on Sunday and while we enjoyed it last year we were terribly disappointed this year. Monday was at [color:"red"]Toppers[/color] and if you have never eaten there you need to. It was great. [color:"red"]Turtle Pier[/color] on Tuesday and was as reliable as always. Wednesday was Celine Pub Crawl night ( thanks Caribgal) and we had a liquid dinner and pickings. We need a break from food anyway. But a break from drinks, [color:"red"]NEVER[/color]. Thursday was [color:"red"]Fathoms[/color] and while we will not rave about it like BillandElaine did in their report it was very good. Friday was [color:"red"]Uncle Harry's[/color] and we really love it there. The steaks were to die for.

Fun: Red Piano Bar on Monday and we saw (correct me if I get this wrong) Gianfranco and Max? If I got that wrong I did not miss by much. They were fantastic. They play Monday at Red Piano, Wednesday at Lady C's and Friday at Fathoms. We became groupies and saw them at all three. Tuesday we went to Soprano's. If you have never done this, you really need to. We saw Barry from Boston and he was amazing. We got there at 9pm and closed the place. We went back on Thursday and had another great time. Cheri's has been closed the last couple of years we were there but they were open this year. Of course we had to go. Clappers and camp but still good drinks and a lot of fun. Great people watching.

Now home and back at work. I have faded and peeled but the memories never fade. Hey 51 weeks to go. LOL
