They sound like they’re the independent types so let them know your schedule and that it’s their responsibility to find a route back to airport.

Carol, there is a bedroom on the 1st floor, but it wasn't available for use while we were there. The master is on the second floor. On a scale of 1-10, pool privacy during the day was 5-6 depending upon your neighbors. Since it was low season, we really didn't see many people. During high season, that number could go down. It really didn't matter to us but then again, Club O is our beach of choice.

Yes, a wise choice. We also have used him for many years and never disappointed. If there is a problem he will remedy it.

Lots of fcfs balls available. I hope that those down here don't have to waste $ on an overpriced boatyball.

If you are down here, wishing you the best on this beautiful day.

The beach condition in this respect is usually left firmly in the hands of Mother Nature. The leveling and/or importing of extra sand might solve the immediate problem but i’m Thinking, and not from any particular source of knowledge or specific info, it might create other problems down the road. Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to mess with MN. She will often retaliate in ways we don’t even want to contemplate. I would guess, from an ecological viewpoint it’s best to let nature run its course. Just a guess......

My personal thought is it is what it is. We experienced that five foot drop last trip and, being as short as I am, I never did get into the water there. We ultimately left and went to another beach. As much as I love (and have always loved....) Mullet Bay Beach, my personal island favorite, between the height of the sand cliff and the huge numbers of chairs and umbrellas in such very close proximity to each other, not to mention the three big boats that came in while we were there, we decided to move on to a beach more to our liking.

Wow, it looks great!!! Just added more days to our next trip there!

Great deals and military discount also!

and that is the essence of the "boatyball hole" and why this is a bad idea from a business perspective especially in places where the all year demand for balls isnt there (e.g. CGB)

A shrewd and ethical captain will NOT reserve a boatyball since they can look at the APP and see that there will be plenty of balls to reserve whenever they get to a harbor if they cant find a FCFS cheaper and more flexible ball. As my friend, Alec, most likely being fresh off his macroecon class can tell you the law of comparative advantage kicks in in the off season and/or at not as popular harbors making BB far less desirable and actually serving as the standby for FCFS balls.

A shrewd but less than ethical captain but still with a conscience will come in and if they cant find a FCFS will squat on a BB and slip the owner $30 cash for their troubles.

A less than ethical captain will just squat on the BB realizing that they wont be bothered by the toll takers...

A shrewd business will realize they can maintain they comparative advantage AND raise rates by NOT using boatyball in harbors where BB is prevalent and demand is low due to seasonal or geographic factors. Most likely they will succumb, however to the siren song of the BB slick sales pitch....

One advantage the Bomba Charger has is that, at 95 passengers, it is the right size. Everybody else is running 149 passengers half full on most runs.

We take list to cash and carry and stock up there (bulk mainly) and go next door to Riteway and finish it off....have taxi wait and then go back. Never had a provision order that was complete or accurate...

If it helps here is our list...for 8-10 people for 7 days

So, on our way to Asia we get shifted from United to Asiana due to ORD getting whacked by thunderstorms. The shift only causes a 12 hour delay vice a total reset for the next day. All airlines international flights go out of Term 5 except United.

So that means you get to isit what TSA agent calls “the island”, terminal 5. Terminal 5 is IMPOSSIBLE to walk to from the other terminals. The ATS train either doesn’t exist yet or is totally broken and out of service. But all the signs are up telling you to follow this way and that way to get to Terminal 5. After being fooled twice to find boarded up ATS stations, and wasting almost hour, someone says you have to take a bus from this door at term 2. Guess what no buses from any Terminal after 9pm from anywhere but Term 3. We find that out by leaving term 2 after a huge wait to get a cab at term 3 and there is a bus. Driver says after 9pm,term 3 only pickup.

In years past I flew United and connected with little pain between Concourses B and C.

But if you have to go to M gates in terminal 5 with a short connection, forget it.

Ohare is a Major embarassment from major city. It wouldnt take a few smart people to make some clear signs to at least inform the mess an unfamiliar traveller is being faced with. A handicap traveller, forget it. No one at a United or American counter had a clue how to get to Terminal 5. They just gave the lazy american who cares shrug.

Thanks to the bus driver that showed up we are now in Asia. We almost took a cab from Term 2 to Term 5. Im sure the cabbie wiuld have been thrilled.

As for Asiana, the most professional and efficient ground and cabin crew ever experience for the second time after flying in 2014. These people take their job seriously and it shows.
