Jiffy Lube Trip Report Part II

Post by Xislandgirl »

Saturday- I guess I should have taken notes, because I am trying hard to remember what I did.

I know we had coffee and breakfast on the deck while the boys slept late. Oh yeah, I headed into town to see a few people. Stopped by Gecko to hang out with Tyler while he was getting the bar set up.Grabbed a Portobella Mushroom sandwich at Deli Grotto and headed to Maho to meet my friends. When I got to the beach, I opened up the sandwich and thought I would die. It smelled so damn good and it was. Balsamic carmelized onions with grilled portabellas and melted mozz on multi grain bread. One of the best sandwiches I have ever had.

I did a little turtle searching with my friend's son and he was thrilled when we finally found one. After a few hours, I had enough sun so I went back to the house and took a drip, pulse, drip, repeat shower and drove back to town. Stopped by the Quiet Mon to see Kenny and waited for my friend's to come back into town to meet them at the Lime Inn.

While I was waiting, I did some shopping at Pink Papaya and had it shipped home. I did hang out at the Quiet Mon for about 1 1/2 hours so I am not so sure what will be in the package when it gets delivered. The receipt says something about martini glasses and roosters, so I guess it will be kind of like Christmas. :wink:

We had a nice meal at Lime Inn. Blue stuffed filet followed by key lime pie. We wanted to stay out for a bit but we were all too tired, so we headed back for a cocktail on the deck and then to bed, for yet another sleepless night.

I think it was a combo of both, but really the room I was sleeping in was not built for restful sleeping.

Glad you enjoyed your trip! Sorry the lodging wasn't the best. Your meal sounds fantastic and I love alcohol influenced shopping!

Deli Grottooooooo yum. One thing I can't wait to do is get sandwiches (and dessert) there and head to the beach.

Thanks for the report.
Sorry about the lack of sleep. I have the same insomnia problem sometimes and it stinks and I can sure sympathize. I tried 1/2 Advil pm in the middle of the night when in STJ. I was awake and thinking too much because I was so excited!

Drunk shopping! Hubby did that and came back with a ladies tank top instead of a man's. Too funy when he put it on :wink:
Sorry you couldnt sleep, can you nap on the beach?

That stinks. Of course you know I am burning up with curiosity about where you stayed! I suppose I understand why you feel that you can't spill the beans though.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

No sleep? Look at the bright side. For such a short visit X-girl didn't waste much oh the little time she had on island doing something frivolous like sleeping.
When you find yourself in a hole.... quit digging.
