yes i know ann for a long time now - she does my hair and gives a great massage - i bet her shop is getting more attention with the re-birth of bourbon beach

as for the bugs - i take benedryl and just let them bite me - lol - after a few days at home - they are all gone - but i found if i mimimize lotions that helps (a little)

oh and i had a little pang of homesickness when i saw the picture of bar-b-barn

thank you for a colorful trip report!

Great job so far. We don't see many photos of Shields here, it's not a particularly popular resort on the message boards, so it's nice to get a look at that place. I'm intrigued by Bourbon Beach. Kevin made me a great offer for Xmas, but i am a bit concerned it will be too loud, especially that week with a lot of peeps expected on seven mile ..... Is the Jacuzzi hot?

One good thing about Legends is Michael, the security guy. He is not the biggest bouncer on the beach, but he is very consistent and does a great job with the little things like setting up beach chairs, remember you, etc.

Me being a huge fan of the beach, I am very enthused by this trip report.

thanks all for the props...

gerryg no I have not found a hot jacuzzi yet, not catcha, nbcc, samsara, bb, i know ive tried a few more...

as far as loud, it is noisy on party nights, but to be expected...I couldnt sleep knowing they were partying downstairs, but janet had no problems...the good thing is when they are partying downstairs, you can choose to sit on the deck and watch, no one else is up there...(except of couse the big parties when it is used as vip section, but during peter tosh tribute, had security at stairs to hook and unhook the chain...no pass, no access)

and I'll get to Michael...took a second to figure him out, he is all business and does a great job keeping the unwanted hagglers away...he took great care of us...

and gerryg if u neeed some answers on someting, just ask...if u want pm me....

we arrive at fun holiday...I ordered janet beer..she is content to sit and talk to anyone..get her set up, then I can go explore, snap some shots, take a bit or two of my sub, then I'll settle in and get me a drink...here are the shots

[groove16]

I met tina, a boardie lurker, and we hit it off....she was a softball player so we had something to talk about right off the bat, lol....but can't sit still long

janet, rob and tina


ok, no two4today, so I am gonna go explore the beach in this area, we never stayed on this end...

next door is whistling bird, like the looks of this place

these 2 are a couple of my favorite views

[groove16]

last shot, then head back to fun holiday...rob introduces me to the new arrivals, two4today meet groove16...and it is on...the rum punches start flowing, the party picks up a bit at this point...two and I had several things in common but the topic that came up most was sec football, with him being a razorback and me a bulldawg....two and his lovely wife gigi have become special to us, as we have a couple of contacts since our return home...

we have several rounds...I picked up the wrong stack and we are low on funds...janet stays as I go back to room for more $$$. Get to room, and get the $$$ and walk back...about halfway, I decide that this is a longer walk than I really wanted to do, but not far now...

I get back, webcast over, and janet, jim and gigi only ones left...rob went home to pick up lisa and was heading back....jim and gigi had not eaten and the rum punches were taking their toll, I had some catching up to do....rob and lisa get back, we all enjoy the company, and it is time for rob to go do the webcast at 3 dives...two4 headed back to their room, rob offered to take us to 3dives but tommorow is a big day, I had just walked like a million miles in the sun, uphill, both ways, but the sea was right beside me so it was all IRIE....

we walked back to legends...shower, eat and drink at our place, hanging on the deck, enjoying the view

movie night again at bourbon beach...not a whole lot else to report from this day
