Happy New Year

Happy New Year, originally uploaded by captainjay.

We're getting ready to head down to the party at the Marriott. It's a
pretty good deal, $45 pp for open bar, party favors and entertainment,
It looks really pretty, and its a nice 72 degrees. I just got word
from WV that it's 19 degrees, yikes!!

Happy New Year!!

Shopping at Havensight

Shopping at Havensight, originally uploaded by captainjay.

I thought that since I've been here almost a year it was about time I checked out the shops at Havensight. For those of you that don't know, Havensight is the cruise ship dock and there are a ton of stores! All the same stuff as downtown but there is a parking lot which makes it easier to park and walk around. Of course there are four cruise ships in today so traffic was insane but once I got in and parked, the shops were not busy at all. I guess the tourists are all out on excursions instead of hanging out at the ship; which I don't blame them, it's a beautiful day!!

BTW - today is mine and Jay's 10 year wedding anniversary so that was the reason for the shopping. :-)

Have a Happy New Year!!!

Cruzan Confusion

Well its past noon so time for a cocktail by the pool. :-) I found recipe online for a Cruzan Confusion that is pretty tasty. Equal parts of Cruzan Mango, Cruzan Coconut and pineapple juice and I added a little OJ. I asked a couple bartenders on island about it and they
said it was basically a little bit of all Cruzan flavors and fruit punch. But I didn't find that online anywhere. Anyone know which one is right? Regardless, the version I made is very good! Yum, yum!

Finally some sun

Happy birthday Dave

Our friend Dave's birthday is today so we're celebrating at Hook Line
with him. He and his wife Kirstin just got back from Florida today and
we just found out they got second in the lighted boat parade. (I
thought they deserved first, but I'm biased)

Friday Beach Pic

I totally forgot that it was Friday. So sorry this post is really late. This is Emerald Beach at the Best Western; Silvia and I hung out there last weekend while waiting for her flight. We had lunch at the restaurant; it was pretty nice, Jay and I need to go back.

Have a great weekend!!
