What a cool gift! Orient has changed a lot in the past 13 years, no ramschackle joints on the beach to eat, which is kind of a shame, but there are still tons of great places to eat. And the square there is a vibrant place, filled with many fantastic restaurants. The sand and the ocean are still lovely, with great views out toward Green Key and Tintamarre. There is also a ton of grocery (and other) shopping which is between Orient and Grand Case, including the huge Super U, one of the best grocery stores on the island. Enjoy!!

Ahhhh I long for the "ramschakle". I'd walk a mile or 4 to have breakfast at Baywatch and see Andy and Cheryl. And I'd walk the same 4 miles to have a 'ti punch at Boo Boo's. I know nothing is forever and memories are always with me. But honestly I'm super pumped to see what the island looks like now. Thanks for the info.
