Ahhh - night snorkeling - the first time I ever read about RickG doing it, it made me want to do it and then Parafins, your reports made me want to do it even more so add that to my list.

FF - I checked my post from March, and of all the things I listed, I only managed to do one of them on my trip in May: the ice cream. I am so lame.

And I can't believe you don't have "try sushi and Doritos" on your list. :lol:

Based on all of the above posts, I've decided to modify my "to do" list for next week.

Apparently maryanne is the only one who's done everything, and many of the veteran gurus on here still have a lot of uncheched boxes on their lists.

So... I plan to :

Watch the sunset from the villa pool with a drink in hand.

Go to Vie's, whether she's there or not, and if she is, get some garlic chicken.

Snorkel at Waterlemon Cay at least once.

Go to the Beach Bar Sunday Jazz Jam.

Buy something at Ruth's and request "Last Train Home" if she's in the store.

Buy fresh greens from Josephine.

Buy some freah tuna or mahi-mahi, either by the dock or at the Fish Trap Market.

Make a new list for next time...

Did we ever hear for sure that Fish Trap will be open next week? I have a tentative game plan to make fish tacos one night, but I wasn't sure if they were open yet or not...

I got my checklist back from John, and I was right! He marked two things--the champagne at the beach and stopping in to Woodys. On the other hand, the only thing he said a definite "no" to was renting a kayak.

I'm packing our bags today, whoo-hoo!

You could always make John comfortable on Cinnamon Bay, with his champagne close at hand, while you enjoy your kayak!

Cheers, RickG

Thursday.

Rick, I am too lazy to kayak by myself--too much work!
