Iquanas - Lots of them TJTrippe 4 hours ago Maybe it was just us and where we went but we encountered large numbers of iquanas this trip.

Saw them everywhere sometimes a dozen in a group. Granddaddy’s to babies.

Anybody know if there is a population explosion?

Sunset Beach Bar 0810 Yesterday at 09:38 PM Is something going on there? I understand there is no beach, but there are no people either. That bothers me. We went on Wednesday night this week for the sunset and there were only 2 other people there and that’s all. It was not the best sunset, but when we left, there was none??

Entry Form Question Phyllis 07/31/2026 09:13 PM Hi, all - we have completed one entry form successfully. With the next family member, when indicating the expiry date of passport, a message comes up with an exclamation point, "Expected string, received date." The date is accurate, however. And it does not let us advance to the next step. If we put in one day prior, then it does let us proceed.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Thank you!

Best food of the Trip TJTrippe 07/31/2026 03:25 PM Candidates:
Talk of the Town
Reveil Martin
Chez Fernand
Good Morning Cafe
Rancho Del Sol
Mt Vernon Pizza
Bistrot Caraibes
Perch Lite
Yellow Sub
Marks Place
Green House PR

The Winners in Order:
1) Rancho Del Sol - Went Twice - Steak, Salmon, Tapas, Pizza, Martinis, Peacocks, Great View and Breeze, Great Service (ALL EXCEPTIONAL)
2) Good Morning Cafe - A little Bit of Paris with Palm Trees - Well prepared French breakfast,Squeezed OJ, Expresso, Consistent, Quiet setting, Friendly
3) Perch Lite - Mahi Burgers, Hamburgers, Fries always well prepared. Good drinks
4) Chez Fernand Bakery - Marigot - Very interesting Pastries/Good Coffees - Went back 2nd time enroute to Airport - Walk thru Line tables after cashier.
5) Marks Place - Two trips - Pasta De new, Ribs, Chicken Parm. Good value. Service tad slower than past. Might need decor refresh.
6) Bistrot Caraibes - Consistent Food - Same as always - Why mess with success - seemed uninspiring this visit - we may skip every other trip and we never have skipped.
7) Green House Prime Rib. Pretty good but I suspect prepared Sous Vide - Small to non existent outer ring. Meat/Salads all arrived in like 5 minutes. We weren’t there 30 mins.
8) Mt Vernon Pizza - Very good French pizza, caprese salads, and sunset on mountains looking towards Grand case. Good price.
9) Talk of The Town - Food Ok, Service Slowest ever and not too busy. Probably last trip to a Grand Case Lolo.
————————-Not recommended below ———————————————————
10) Yellow Sub, said why not after avoiding this place of past disappointment. Sat quickly, never took our order, we bought a sandwich at Petit casino. This place could be a mint.
11) Reveil Martin -Undercooked poached eggs led to Benedict Soup and no offer to correct Eggs Benedict Soup and 15% cash only service charge.

Your mileage may vary.

JP From Pizza Galley ruralcarrier 07/31/2026 11:53 AM According to posts on Faceboo, JP from Pizza Galley and Lady Mary prior to that has passed away. Lots of fun and sometimes loud times at Pizza Galley. I ran into JP 6 years ago. I was in the water near The Horny Toad and saw him; we had a nice chat.

Palm Springs Clothing Optional SouthCalCpl28 07/31/2026 06:41 AM Now that Desert Sun is closed, what are some nude or clothing optional hotels/resorts in Palm Springs that are not lifestyle focused? A quick google search brings up Mi Kasa with some good reviews so I like to hear some opinions and recommendations on Mi Kasa and other surrounding area options.

two bloody marys.

ive never seen one made but glass about 3/4 of smirnoff, 1/4 bloody mary mix.

add some olives, a pepper and celery stick.

i find atable boss arrives and she says whats this? alot of vodka.

we had to go get refills of bloody mary mix to dilute.

if you want a heavy pour this is it

you want it tasty like usual might need to dictate the recipe.

boss finished em off so i could drive us home
