Trying something different with photos. I hope you like them linked as it's very easy to do with Google+ Photos. Let me know if the links work for you. We woke early today and to our delight the sun was shining bright so we decided after breakfast on our deck from Zee Best we would lay in the sun and read our books. It was our first full day of sun in at least 5 days. https://goo.gl/photos/Fv34NTiYadpW4obW9A side note for earlier risers. Zee Best take-out location was just opening at 6:30a when David arrived and Maho Express was also opening when David went for a newspaper. He was told the Daily Herald is not published on Sunday's. The ocean waves were rough all along Simpson Bay so I opted for a swim in the pool before we headed out for lunch at SMYC. It was a great day to lounge around but we had no food in our villa and the almond croissant for me and chocolate for David didn't satisfy us much pass early afternoon otherwise it really was a perfect day to relax on the beach. At the Yacht Club we chatted with Brian who we had not seen earlier in the week before settling in to eat. David had a burger with fries and cole slaw and I had the coconut shrimp. Both were very good. We timed lunch so we could see the yachts enter the marina but the bridge didn't raise as there were no boats needing to enter. https://goo.gl/photos/2iBubWqXY56dGTHR6https://goo.gl/photos/YCFu343rFFU7gs417Thunder and heavy cloud coverage around 5p followed by a big down pour solidified our plans to stay in the Maho area for dinner. We drove to Driftwood and ordered a pizza. While we waited I had a delicious Banana Colada. Drinks as good as I remember. Pizza didn't take long to cook and we were on our way back to villa to relax and watch some football. https://goo.gl/photos/hSQWLfhvPSPoDUXf7Two more very satisfying days in Paradise .

Louise--the links work fine. You can click on the picture, once it comes up, to make it larger, which is nice. Glad you had some sun for a change!

Or do I need coffee and glasses? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> Edit: the answer is glasses!lol. The white sky under the dark cloud cover looked like a wave to a blurry eyed tired kitten, who's also looking at the pic on a little iPhone screen. Yikes!

Louise,
Personally speaking, I'm thrilled that people take the time to post their trips in any manner they choose to do so, be it food photos, scenery and people shots or bar hopping party locations. To me it's all good and enjoyable and does seem to make the waiting a little easier.
But to clarify, I could easily do without the food pictures and like GaKaye, I'm more into scenery and people shots. but I have no objection to them either since I know there are many here who live for them.
Bottom line, anyway people want to share their trips is good by me and appreciated by everyone here, I'm sure. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
Respectfully,
pat

I use Google plus photos all the time and it is very easy to post your pictures from there the usual way so that the picture actually shows up in your post. LINKING each picture is not nearly as effective, but better than no picture at all.Just upload your Google plus pictures to an Web album and you are good to go. Thanks for your reports and enjoy the rest of your vacation which is going past quickly!

fabila said: Lots of ppl seem to enjoy seeing food and I did describe what we ate in the text but will add a comment on the photo. I just downloaded the google photo app so didn't have time to review app better. I realize I'm in the minority about food photos. For some reason, I don't think they ever look particularly appetizing. Something just gets lost in the translation!

Ohh; the pain, the pain. It's ok, there are many a petulant member of the forums at times.
You just might need to start throwing yellow flags.
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

Louise--You are one million percent right. You are taking time out of your vacation to post photos, regardless of what they are...
I will close this thread now before I say something I will regret..
