Must Do's Synopsis/Condensed
Here is a condensed list for all of my fellow planners. Figured it was easier than going through 5 pages of info. The number to the right represents the number of times something was mentioned. This is not statistically valid or in any way endorsed by me, just a summary! I had not heard of some of these places/things to do, like the Gecko Bar?
Anyway...Enjoy....And pay no attention to the fact that Treats and Restaurants come first. I am sure there is no meaning behind that at all
And if you don't like my list, make your own!

This is great, flip flop!
It's funny, just this afternoon I emailed John a checklist with every possible activity, hike and restaurant that we have not done/hiked/eaten at, and told him to send it back with whatever he wanted to definitely do marked off.
I'm betting I get it back with only one thing marked: "bring a bottle of champagne to the beach at sunset."

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

Hey, FF!
You've always been partial to Skinny's. Ever thought about throwing horseshoes, I guess with two little ones it would take some figuring, but between Pirate Bill and Wayne it's a blast. Maybe you and Mr. Flipper could do a tag team!
p.s. wayne pretty much always wins.

When you find yourself in a hole.... quit digging.

Animal Care Center......right across from Tradewinds Bldg and Tamarind inn. You will see a parking lot and just walk back towards the library and a little trailer like house on the right is the ACC.......MIke wrote:St John has an animal shelter?
They always need people to come and walk the dogs and play with them and the cats.......
There's no $ sign on a peace of mind, this I've come to know
JT - Hi, buddy. Horseshoes sounds fun. We considered it one time but got distracted by beer and ice cream bars! I BLAME Gromit. She won't be with me this time, so maybe I'll be able to get a game in.
We have a good Kid to Adult ratio, 2 kids to 6 adults! I mean that's 1/3 a kid per grown up. My husband and I firmly believe in stopping with 2 so that we can stay in man to man defense, going to a zone does NOT sound fun.
As for the Animal Shelter, someone said that there was one. I have no idea where.

Flip Flop, Your list is amazing! Im going to print it for future reference. Thank you thank you thank you for all the effort. I want to get some of those hand painted wine glasses from the place on the list at Mongoose Junction (see how quickly I forget and therefore need a printed list?) Well done!
