Good newbie report. Try to get a tan before you go the next time; the lobsters will be cheaper, the beers, the manicures and you can bet your bottom dollar the manicurist will still be there. Deposits for services I would never give .. most may mean well, others may not show up and make it really bad for the honest locals on the beach trying to make an honest living. $70 for a round trip to Rhodes Hall -- hmm I dunno or did I read it wrong? I see you gave out your phone number back home and the hotel you were staying at to the manicurist ... it's hard to work around the lyrics. Sometimes I stick ear plugs in and just say that the salt water bothers them sometimes if they don't mind I can't really talk or hear right now lol. Don't get me wrong .. I love JA and plan to retire part time there, although I usually let my local friends do the talking and bargaining for me.
