1st Trip, First Trip Report

1/9 Sunday
Today was another day like the last 2. Sand gravity had kicked in and really didn’t feel like doing much of anything. I know we walked the beach that day and hung out but, that is about it until closer to evening. Opps I forgot on our walk I got a Patty from Niah’s and it was so good. This was the first Patty I had tried this trip. We knew we wanted to go to Ricks just for a very short time to say we did and then eat and see the Packer game at Seastar. The other couple we went with wanted to eat at Sun Beach again. So this is where Jr. our taxi driver, I felt, took advantage of us. We went to Ricks and he waited for us (30 min. tops) then he dropped us of at Seastar and took other couple back to Treehouse where they paid him $40 (with tip). When he picked us up at Seastar a couple hours later and took us to Treehouse he charged me $32 (gave $35). I figured the other couple didn’t pay and I would catch up with them later. Well, I was wrong. So he made $75 off us that night. When it should have been $48 with tip if going off the rates at the hotel of $16 each way. We really like Jr. and he was a safe driver but rates just way to high. I guess the next time I will try to find another driver.

So, we went to Rick’s way, way too crowded but watch the jumpers and then the high one. Enough of that. We went to Seastar and had a blast. Watched the Packer game had dinner. The food was excellent. I had Lobster thermidor and husband had lobster that was sautéed with onions and peppers. Excellent, Excellent and food was served in a timely manner. Their pumpkin soup was also very good. This will be a must do the next time. Met some other Wisconsinites and was a good night.
I went to have the waitress call for Jr. and she said let me check to see if our driver is still here. What??? Yes we offer round trip transportation. Good thing to remember.

Tip: Restaurants on the beach and cliffs have at least one way transportation. Find out which one.

1/10 Monday
Today is a sad day. It is our last full day. So after breakfast and bidding fair well to our family we took on more walk and drinks at yellow bird and spent the rest of the day laying and floating. We decided to eat at Ivan’s for our last night and I called and got reservations at 5:30 with pick-up at 5ish. Our new next story neighbors also had ressies so it was a shared ride but free and return trip was $10. That way beat the price from the night before.

Ivan’s was absolutely beautiful. We had a table by the wall and the sunset was so wonderful. I was so glad to be ending our trip with this meal. So we ordered an appetizer trio, pineapple lobster, grilled lobster, and banana flambé and all was mouthwatering. Between the view and the food it couldn’t be better. Will be returning to this place.

That is about it. Back to room to pack and for a little walk. So the last funny story. We were standing talking to an older local gentleman by Country Country. My husband said I have stuff I need to get rid of and do you want it. Well, of course he’d take. Well, they were engage in conversation and I went to the room (right next door) and got the stuff. Well, I’m walking back and see this young tall Jamaican women walking towards my husband and start talking to him and asking if there is anything she can do to help him out. Light Bulb, Light Bulb. As I walked up she turn quick and said just talking to your husband and hurried off. It was funny because we had heard and seen the male and female prostitution being so available but never been approached as we are always together but as soon as he was alone for 5 min. Someone was there making an offer.

Tip: Ivan’s is worth the price and make your last day memorable.
