Wednesday started out as a really lazy morning. After some croissants for breakfast

[Linked Image]

We hung around the villa and did a lot of nothing

[Linked Image]

and chowed down on bacon cheeseburgers for lunch

We went and toured a villa that we may stay in next year for our anniversary (no pictures, it's a secret, until we book!!) grin

Afterwards we came back home, had leftovers for supper, watched some TV and went to bed, exhausted from doing almost nothing all day!! grin

Thursday morning we had a ham and cheese omelette for breakfast

[Linked Image]

Unfortunately a bunch of seaweed came in Wednesday night, so we decided to head out to Buccaneer for lunch.

In an odd twist of fate, the lady at the next table was a local who had just moved back to the island after being off island since the hurricane, and she had gone to a very small college which is 15 miles from our house!

We hadn't been to Buccanneer for several years. Our lunch was very good

but the steak sandwich has gone way up in price, at now $18!!

Next section will be dinner at Emilios..

I hope the villa you viewed has all your prerequisites...private, sunsets and good views smile Eight more sleeps until I return and your reports are getting me all psyched up

Your nothingness is starting to be very appealing. Nice pictures!

And we have truly enjoyed your and Eric’s trip reports! Funny thing is, on our trip we were in the same places y’all were. On our next trip, can you please send Eric over to cook our meals! Lol! They looked amazing, we could smell the grill through the computer!

Thanks for taking the time to post a report. I usually have a long list of things I really want to do and then end up doing a whole lot of nothing too! It's amazing the amount of 'doing nothing' that one can pack into a day! We will be back next month and can't wait!

Agree about the Buccanneer - always enjoy lunch there. Great vibe, nice people working there, diverse clientele and beautiful views.

very nice... we used to go to Buccaneer every year, until, last year. I was never treated with such disdain as the barmaid had towards me. I am ,by all who know me and my character, the most courteous person you will ever meet. just thinking about what she did makes my blood boil... any whooooo too many nicer places to visit. also Kim sha is way too crowed with all the cruise ships making it a shore excursion.

Who was it, Wanda?? Don't know if she's still there or not. Wanda is a PITA from WAY back. There were no ships in the day we were there, so it was not crowded at all.
