Thank you, Groove. I'm pretty sure that I met you at the boardie bash, but Mr. D and I were late. I thought it started at 3:00? Oh well, story of my life. Loved, loved, loved your report and pics. We're hoping to back same time next year.

monday morning on this trip, I got up with Janet, prepared my sub, and we walked to the beach...Rina, Carolyn, ad Rick were getting ready for a dive and having breakfast, coffee, or something...Janet finds her spot, and settles in for a few hours....I enjoy my time, and then take a route taxi to times square...I need some new swim trunks, well realy i don't, but my red stripe ones have a hole, and i like the bright island colors...i was a little early for timrs square as they were getting set up...went to our friend mike, who had moved his shop here....if u need a ride home, he will take u after buying your souveniors from him...a nice drink just for shopping...mike does it right, but I just wasnt ready, gotta look around, now that i know what the starting price is and the quality it is...I walk across to bouben beach, and cut to the beach...end up at the yelowbird, imagine that...walk from there to w.s.... i ate most of the fruit for breakfast, and was wanting a box lunch for lunch, becasue i knew i was gonna be busy shortly...

Janet saw my box, and wanted one of her own...so we go one fried chicken box and 1 baked chicken box, 1 cups of soup, each,--a chicken pumpkin, and a vege pumpkin that were very good, and a bottle of wata and a can of fruita....gave 1000ja and she tried to give me change back....let her keep that plus a couple extra...and i still cant eat all of it....



after we eat lunch, we get our new driver, Jack, to pick us up and transport us to the cliffs...we get dropped off at wise choice, get supplies and walk up the lane to seastar.


after we get there,there are people everywhere...

just gonna post random pics and try not to tag anyone

so here goes

the day was a success, we all had fun and some money was raised for father jim to help at the soup kitchen...

Flip and jackie show up a little late...the rain sets in, so the party moves in doors...about this time the pub crawl bus shows up and more people show up at the party...


there are dance offs, I cant keep count of the number of subs that were served and the bar ran out of cold red stripes...


but the show carried on....

when things started to clear out, and the rain let up some, we walked down the lane to AAAHHHBee's...we met rina and larry and rick and carolyn there....had a burger and it was awesome....this was the other peoples 4th trip so it couldn't be too bad...well it was awesome....best burger on the island...after dinner, we sat around, had a few beers and laughs...one of the locals guys came in...he knew us all...well after a few brags and boasts, it leads to a special brownie taste off....one guy breaks his up and the other guys slices his up....we had a taste test...well, one brownie was clearly better tasting, moist, more like a brownie...the other was more like cake, and u could taste teh gritty of the ingrediant in it...but it was very entertaining indeed...so was the rest of the night...hehehe....most at the table had very small pieces forced on them, while me and another finished it all....great way to end a great day...when we leave rick and carolyn were talking to someone about going on a tour tomorrow...but we had to go...

we stop at bourbon beach for a nightcap and listen to the band until about 1100..Janet has a few beers, i enjoy my dessert, and a sub...we leave because we have to pack...i am wound up, and everything is funny, and everything i say is stupid...lol..

tommorrow is moving day and we also have a trip to go on...
