From all of the things I have read...if and WHEN Club Orient reopens...it will not be the same resort. The new laws concerning beach proximity etc...will make the changes necessary for law compliance. The character of the resort will be completely changed. Vacations are very personal...and there is no right or wrong. There is what is right for me. I don't see us ever going back to Club Orient and after 15 years... I mourn for it every single day.

We finished our basement in knotty pine, we put beige porcelain tiles on the floor. We have bird feeders and squirrel feeders outside and we eat lunch on our patio just like we did in Fort Apache. It is the best we can do.
