Saturday JB from Boston bumpiest ride we've ever had. AND not or movies! Arrived 2:50 10 mins. late to find American, UsAir and another plane had just landed. Immigration busy. Leslie waiting for us. What a sweetheart he is, always pleasant & smiling. Off to a week at Divi. Got to check in at 2:40 and onto the beach.

Later we headed to Grand Marche and dinner at Mark's. After waiting 17 mins. for a parking spot, we decide to go to Chesterfie;d's for early dinner: 1 steak, 1 chicken delicious! 1 Presidente, 1 rum coke $56. apron. Then to Sunny Foods for some basics: Rum, Ting, one bottle whit wine, fresh broccoli, scallions, lettuce, tomatoes, corn flakes, milk, bananas, guadeloupe melon, butter, 2 croissants 1 bread pudding, Prego sauce, pasta, genoa salami, gouda cheese, 1 lime, box wheat thins crackers, Italian salad dressing and hillman's mayo for a reasonable $56.07

Sunday up at 6am. Croissants & coffee on lanai and watched 2 ship arrive. Then off to Orient. Left sun at Divi to rain at Orient. LaPlaya for 2 Bloody Marys then decided to not stay for lunch. Too much wind. They closed all except the inside area. On to Anse Marcel and sun. Ate at La Calypso: 2 grouper with rice, salad carrots, 2 glassesRose wine, 1 cheese cake, 1 periferolies 2 demi-tas coffees $78.

On way back from Anse Marcel picked up Pauline who works at Yellow Sub and gave her a ride to work. Since we were there decided to get a baguette, whole looked chicken and 2 raisin rolls. $19.

On way back to condo realized we'd forgotten water so stopped at Fresh Market. Got some Etna Rhum Raisin ice cream. Thought we'd not find any since Etna had been closed then making basics when re opened---guess Rhum Raisin's a basic!

Tonight if we find ourselves hungry there's chicken, baguette, ice cream!

Monday---no plans yet!

I was admiring your shopping list, I might have to copy and paste. Love profiteroles, never had raisin rolls, but they sound great. Hope you get more sunshine to enjoy the beaches with. We usually buy ice cream and mix it with Bailey's sometime during the week we are there with friends, if we have a banana, add that in, it's closer to a BBC. Good luck with Monday's no-plans day.

Afraid someone would ask that because I have no sense of direction and hubby isn't available. But here goes: From Divi go down hill beyond Great Bay hotel and turn left. Somewhere down the road is Sunny Foods on the right. I's before you reach the round about and on towards Salt Pond and toward middle road.
If that doesn't help I'll post better directions when hubby gives them.

It's a large grocery store. All departments including prepared foods, deli, bakery. They bag groceries so no need to bring your own. Seemed to be mostly locals shopping. Clean, neat store. But we usually buy our fruit at Fresh Market because it all looks so much better.

Fresh Market is on Middle Road on right side just after turn to the Zoo. next door is a food shack selling wraps & Giros.
