    Clarity: Are you saying I can dust off all my hoary old cliches and you'll think they're fresh. Sounds like a generation gap. Hoho!

    JustChuck and Gerryg: I'm ready to do it again, let's go . . . oh yeah $, nevermind, well soon come.
    That rug really tied the room together.

    Lola,
    In short Dr.'s and medicine ruined a near perfect leg.
    I was taking a blood thinning medication, a hematologist decided I didn't need it, when the next blood clot formed (it's always funny to use that phrase in context with Jamaica) the local emergency room didn't believe me (I went there on two separate occasions/days). A small blood clot high in my femoral vein (whatever you call the vein that runs next to the femoral artery) -in the inside of my upper leg spread to extend from my lower abdomen down to mid-calf. The pain was excruciating. After five days my GP sent me to the closest big city and I got treatment. A week in the hospital and over a year off work. Initially my leg felt like a piece of cooked meat. All the valves in that major vein were ruined. To this day I have to wear that stocking (if I'm upright on land) you saw me in (near Sun Island). That thing is so hot (temperature-wise).

    Oops TMI
    But thank you for asking.

    You should see Mrs. Peel in a sea kayak on Lake Superior in four foot breaking waves, or camping in the Boundary Waters with Tic-toc nails, or hiking a mountain trail in the Saguaro National Park. Um, yeah she IS a trooper.

    Some boardie will recognize the place with the sea wall, I can tell you it's in between Roots and Seasplash.

    Yes, Rum, you're doing a great job .... really good details .... BTW, at Xtabi, you might have had the best room ever -- right on the CLiffs and closest to the bar, you can't beat that ....

    Gerryg,
    I think you're right about room 6, it puts you right into most of the sea action.

    BTW the raft disappeared before we could use it.
    I formed search party but it was gone.
    Ours was serviceable but we'd have to stop occasionally to re-inflate it (at sea).

    Rum, that's a story! When I was walking in your direction before we met I thought: 'people do what they have to do and they still have a good time!'

    Is that wall new at Mariposa? With the Boat Bar just beyond it in the photo?
