Yesterday while swimming in the ocean, we watched a pelican floating, looking,
searching, then all of a sudden getting airborne to do more searching - then
dive bomb - hurling himself into the ocean and voila - a fish. We watched
this bird do this over a dozen times working his way up the beach. I'm
sure the success rate was more than 50% if not near perfect.
Today was our last day, and we got up early, got the prize shade shack and sun
bed (Ray and Lynn's), and decided to add a bit of
 luxury
- well a bit more than usual. We draped them with ten towels. It was
so nice, lying on soft towels and always having a dry soft towel to dry off
with.
Winds were up a bit today, a fair bit, but the cats were still going out.
We got the same catamaran as yesterday but with a new mail sail sheet.
They listened. We tore up and down the beach for 30 minutes, it seemed
like so much longer because of the
distance we travelled; but, it was the wind. It was the speed I had that
sucker going at. I know don't end a sentence in a proposition. I know
preposition. I'm running out of funny clever over-the-top witticisms.
We are winding down what we feel was the most magical and luxurious vacation
we've had in the Caribbean. Then Miguel gave us a tour of one of the two
presidential suites. Ocean view top floor, they take up the space of 4 or
5 of these nice rooms we are in now. I forgot to bring my camera, so I'll
describe it, for myself at least, so I won't forget.
As you enter, washroom, sink, shower, toilet to the right, closet to the left -
for guests of course. Walk in a bit more, straight ahead is a dining room,
to the left a rec room with a hug bar where you could sit 6 people. It's
almost like a small lobby bar. A bit to the right is the living room,
couches, chairs, plasma on the wall and a patio door out to the 5 times larger
deck with Jacuzzi, table to seat many, loungers, etc. and another patio door to
the bedroom.
Now picture yourself back at the dining room, to the right, the bedroom through
some large double sliding wooden doors. In it the king size bed, plasma on
the wall, a separate office area with desk and chairs, and lounge area with
chairs and coffee table and the patio door.
One thing I can say now, the people here are great. I used to say the
people of Cuba were the best, the people here at this resort are just as great.
They have a can-do-attitude, they sincerely want you to have a good time and
enjoy your vacation. And they will do what it take s to make it happen.
To the right of the bad, a corridor lined on both sides with closets end with a
wall of closets and a door to the right to the bath which has the standard
shower enclosure, toilet enclosure, double mirrors and sink and another Jacuzzi.
Enough said, I want it, can't have it, however, they would allow 4 adults to
stay there we think - of course two on the pull out couch?
Drank some Coronas, Francisco keep special ones for me in an icebox - I like
them colder. Skipped the BMS in favour for vodka and grapefruit, vodka and
orange, and a fruit smoothy - fresh fruit - and vodka (a vegetable) (potato).
As I type, Fidellaneven packs. Off to the Market Grill tonight for steak
and lobster, then to the lobby for some ones, then a BMS, then maybe even
splurge $5 in the casino. If I'm keen, Sunday will be my report on tonight
and the flight home. And this site will appear on my home page menu.
Then Lisa will read it, as she likes to read it upon returning, and correct all
my grammar and possible speeling errors. There should be none, Bill Gates
helps me with it. LOL
Salud.
