The answer is Ace Hardware, as a couple of people said!! Generic wine glasses AND champagne glasses, at $1.95 per stem, and you can buy however many you want!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> So, we bought 4 wine glasses and 2 champagne glasses and we are good to go!!!

I guess I missed the question. Where is this picture taken at? Doesn't look familiar, but the mountains and Beach look familiar.

OK, I posted before I saw the "Wine Glasses" two or three threads down. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> I still am interested in where the photo was taken.

The view worked, for sure!!! Wine was something that we bought a Super U (I think). But nothing exciting, just table wine -- less than $5 a bottle. Who can complain? Get some good stuff and some table stuff. Sometimes we say: "how bad can it be?" Usually "no problem", once in a while --- ouch! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Some French "table wine" today, was really fine! Served cold, warm would not be good. But cold, it worked! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Actually, I know the unit next to us is empty, has been since we got here. They are doing on and off construction at the one unit and so we talked to Drew about it and he put us at this end, to stay away from any noise. So far we haven't heard any construction noise, but that is pretty far away from here. We actually haven't even been down to the pool yet, although I did walk the beach down to 11?? is it?? Will take the camera and take some pictures down there, maybe today.

It was raining over toward Pelican just now. We had planned to head out but going to hang here for a bit and see what develops.

We were in our usual unit #10 in April and yes it was noisy almost everyday!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
They are redoing unit #11 and it looks like it is going to be very nice. Private owner.

$4.50? Now that's funny. I saw them offered at Peapod for $4.99 last week.

See you need to make a grocery trip to GM, you could have saved 50 cents on the watermelon!

And for our omlette they had jumbo eggs for $1.75 a dozen. Have been making omlettes so may have to go buy another dozen.

Why not see if they have spuds on sale? You could have home fries with the omelets and use the watermelon as a garnish. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
