gettin my groove on "TRIP report" boardie bash style--april21-may11,2013

Groove. I agree 100% with your assessment of bourbon. It's a shame, because thanksgiving and New Years we spent a lot of time there. Hell we stayed there over New Years and 2 nights at the end of our New Years trip.

It wasn't an awful experience this time around. It just wasn't that good of an experience. Maybe it's just going through some growing pains? I hope anyway.

I'll give it another try in August.

on to day 3 tuesday, april 23....one of the reasons I am early was the rock robster returns party, which is tonight at 3 dives....

I chat with my wife on facebook every night while waiting on her arrival...last night she cracked me up...1st we all got sunburned from our snorkel trip on oour back and on the backs of our legs...Janet had been chatting with rina and rina told them they were off to bed after the long day and all worn out...she asked me what I was gonna do, and I told her i had already done it, was chillin on the deck listening to the music from roots...she responded with a "well get your sleep now, I arrive tomoorrow and ain't no 9 oclock bedtime" She told Rina she was bringing sun block for her and 5 hour energy for all of us...hehehe...

I have been coughing my head off, and it is terrible at night
I take my morning walk again to wild parrot from fun holiday...

from various spots on the beach



I need some lunch, consider fun holiday, but decide that if they couldnt have me a cold red stripe when I need it, then Im not gonna chance a meal....
So I head down the beach, trying to decide what I want...somewhere down the beach, it hit me...box lunch, and the only one I could think of was Fatties...have eaten at fatties many times and not disappointed....got a 300ja box of brown stew chicken, with rice and peas.
I am going to take time to say that we came in way under budget..the hotel and everything like that, already planned and shopped around early...so I budgeted for meals, excursions, drinks, subs, taxis, and etc...then I threw in a little padding and we agreed that would be it....well, I was very conscious of the budget and made sure to cut back early so we could splurge later since we would have a cushion...I like the box lunches anyway...so I ate more than 10 of them this trip and mix in a couple days of patties for lunch, snacks in the room, red stripe out of the cooler in certain situations and using the route taxi system when possible..we added 4 more days at the end and still came in a little under the budget of the original trip .walked across the street to bourbon beach and ate my lunch there...then I walk back towards home, stopping for a couple 2 for 1 drinks at.....guess where

yep, the yellow bird....
