Well Now - What A Difference A Week Makes Whale Tail 21 hours ago Today was a move day back up to the 5th floor and we had to be at Rendezvous Jazz Brunch by 1pm, the move didn't go smoothly but we made it.

We took 2 friends from up state New York that have never been to the brunch before and they thoroughly enjoyed it. This week they had a harmonica player that
sat in on a few songs wow was he good, really good.

Then it was time to leave but we couldn't get out of the parking lot because of about 4 cars in the roundabout. They were smoking their tires and doing donuts
round and around the traffic circle and at least one of the cars exhaust system made a sound like an automatic weapon. All the while when this was happening
the security guard that opens the gate to Porto Cupecoy was filming this. This went on for about 10 minutes and then the cars headed off to the French side.

We made it home to SBR and went down to the Villa Pool for a drink and sat on the dry side of the pool bar as we were still in our clothes. About 15 minutes
after we sat down, I assume the same cars were in front of Captains Rib Shack doing the same thing, and this went on for 15 minutes. It didn't startle us this time
but the 2 men we were talking to at the bar and probably everyone else thought it was an automatic weapon fire. The police station is on the other side of the bridge
but that didn't deter them, go figure.

Saturday and Sunday are changing over days and boy did it change. March Break!!!!
The environment has totally changed to an Animal House theme.
Us and the bartender were getting splashed with water. The bartender said once "I had a shower this morning and I don't need one this afternoon"
It didn't help. It will be interesting tomorrow when the regular bartender returns from her day off. They will be dealing with a different person then.

Hopefully the B pool where we are located will remain quiet.
I think we will hang out here.

Pool Chair Hogging at Cypress COve Nudist Resort TJTrippe 22 hours ago Chair hogging ruins cruise ships, resorts, Club O and Cypress Cove Resort.

Cypress Cove in Kissimmee is working on ruining its pool patio vibe as well.

They close the gates around the pool at night and there are long lines of barely awake camp zombies at 6:30am and they all run in and claim chairs and go back to bed.

It is sad to see the two chairs unused until after noon. One couple always shows up at 130pm for 45 minutes and leaves and leaves their towels and never comes back til dinner to take them home. Must be quite a chore for them to keep a chair out of use all day.

The lady who oversees the pool area on a scooter says she is no longer allowed to move towels until every chair in the complex is full.

The management at Cypress Cove needs to put a bit of effort on this issue. It is a poor utilization of the best asset of the resort. Could put on cards every half hour and yank the stuff after so much time. Digital pictures to document for the inevitable battle.

Departure Saturday RonDon Yesterday at 10:51 AM All went well. Met Leslie with wheelchair for hubby. He convinced me to get a chair also. Good thing because I was hopping more than walking. Leslie is one of a kind great guy!

Flight on time. Lots of people waiting at Jet Blue line. Had a jetway and took off on time. Again sad to leave. But I’ve already booked two weeks for 2027 God willing.

Whaletail, you will have to plan another TTOL party.

Reveil Matin/Simpson Bay Walk/The Palms Whale Tail Yesterday at 02:06 AM Pretty good day. We started off with breakfast at Reveil Matin, needed a healthy breakfast after a bout of stomach virus this week. Not fun but it's around here and everywhere else in North America.

I had The Reveil and my wife had The Douce Heure, milk cream raspberries with mueslix and a thick slice of toasted apple bread. Of course 2 Mimosas. Their dishes are a work of art and taste as good as they look.

JD Kareen asked about you and we said you would be on island in May and she thinks that she will be in Jamaica for 10 days leaving on May 20th.

Then it was off to D's grabbed a couple of waters and went for our walk. It's so peaceful and relaxing.
Babacool's was very busy and K's not so much and Mary Boons is always busy. Then back to D's for some rehydration then back to SBR to shower and get ready for dinner. The weather the past 3 weeks has been different this year. Instead of a short light rain every day it's been a downpour. Most days you can't even see Saba but today it has been visible but not clear.

The Palms never lets us down. Or server Romaine greeted us with a hug as well as Jo. He asked me if I wanted a bucket of Carib which the beer I order down here and I said no just 1 and told him the last time I was here you gave me a Carib bucket to take home and he remembered. The staff is the best.
I had the Drunken Ribs, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, salad with a side order of Creamy Mushroom Sauce for my potatoes. My wife had the Trinidaian Mild Chicken Curry Chicken with Roti and a salad she has never had a curry dish before and loved it.

Cruise/sail recommendation LuvSXM13 03/14/2026 02:22 PM Good morning everyone,

We are looking for recommendations for a day cruise/sail.

We have enjoyed Celine and Enigma with captain Neal a number of times but are interested in a similar trip that includes Tintemarre and the sea turtles.

Any thoughts would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

Tuesday Morning will start with discounted beer, also during the day they will have music and some Irish dancers. It will be an all day affair. They are even going to paint the speed bump in front of Fat Tonys again. I took pictures of the menus he had and attached them here. Painted speed bump is from last year.

Itinerary Suggestions April 4-11 FirstMate4Life 03/13/2026 08:34 PM Hi,

We are traveling with our two teenagers to the BVI's for spring break. Bare boating. We have sailed the BVI's many times, but our last trip there was in 2015, without kids.

It seems much has changed in way of cruise ships, buoy reservations, and dinner reservations. We would rather not get sucked into cruise crowds or miss out on dinners because we didn't know to plan ahead and make reservations.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
