Groove, the exact same thing happened to us. We got caught in the rain and had never been that far, saw the thatch roof and ran for cover. We meet a nice group of folks from Texas who we were getting along with famously due to the fact hubby was wearing a Dallas Cowboys hat and we got as far as ordering a round of shots before security arrived. We apologized profusely and offered to obviously pay but were told we couldn't even do that. We sheepishly did the shots tipped the bartender and made our way to the next "public" hotel where we had the best Pina Colada's we have ever had(cant rem the name of the hotel to save my life but you have a shot of the deck in your pictures, too many subs that day maybe:rolleyes:) Lesson learned.
Sweet report, keep it coming!
Awesome photos!!! August cant get here soon enough. Never been to Red Dragon...looks like a fun place.
...pics just keep getting better and better!
love Neville! He has great patties!
So far so good groove , you have a great memory of your trip , who says THC effects memory!! Must be the Magic cake !!!
the trip continues...today is tuesday, 4/22/14...
I am bored...I hate this end of tha beach...I dont know anyone...I can not wait until 230 when my beautiful wife arrives...things really pick up then...I will say htis about this end of the beach...I wandered around a little last night around my hotel, and zero hustlers, not one offered to sell me anything...very few during the day also...
i walk to town to load up on supplies.....get 2 cases of beer, water, juices, cheese, some fruit, ice,...took my own tote bags...flagged a route taxe before i went in the store, so i could haul my supplies, this was my first paid fare since I arrived....
on that note, i was ther for 6 days, and after i paid my transfer, I only spent 175.00....300j for box lunches, snacks from myrnas, snacks in the room from home, less than 1000 for supper, and no taxis....including my subs, and i ate alot of subs...alot....lol...dont drink a whole lot, a couple 2 for 1 a day, or a couple stripes...
i spent about 70.00 in the store for supplies...
after my bad deal at the airport, my wife does club mobay...she loved it...

How could I not look happy? I started drinking on the plane. I can't take 3 weeks off work at one time. You know that place can't run without me. So, if you all do 3 weeks next year I will will probably only join you for 2. Groove can go for 3. I'll try to come up with something. Can't miss a whole week of fun.
Yay for Janet "Claus" lol!:)
