Today we went to Phillipsburg for some shopping. I got a hat and we got a shirt for the grand daughter and a few nick nacks. We made it back to the royal palm. for the water balloon toss. We didn't win. A young dad with his 7 year old daughter won. Oh well it was still fun.

After a quick sandwich we were off to Maho beach. Where did all the beach go? We didn't even get out of the car. There was a ship in port and the people were all lined up along the wall to see the planes. We couldn't believe the seaweed and lack of beach there now. This is a tradition we had to break today.

Time for a new tradition. With my new found freedom of working on an all over tan we decided to find cupecoy beach. Found it and fell in love with it. There were about 4 other couples there and it was in perfect condition. We talked with another couple there who said they have been going there for years and said the beach is half the size it was when they first got there many years ago. I thought it was the perfect size and absolutely beautiful. My wife even took her top down in the water and enjoyed it. We will be back this week sometime I'm sure.

Tonight after a few too many at happy hour in the pool we headed back over to the green house for dinner. I had the coconut chicken and the wife had the Mahi Mahi. We started with the conch fritters, yum. No drinks tonight just water. Total was 70.00 with tip. Headed home for some coconut ice cream in the condo.

I think tomorrow you will find us at Baie Rouge again and maybe a stop at cupecoy on the way home. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
