Note: I will put all additions in this thread. Don't see the need to make 25-30 threads each expressing a thought.
We arrived on Sunday...AA (gulp) from PVD/PHL/SXM...minimal issues. close to a two hour delay waiting to be de-iced but no connection so no biggie...just wanted to see more of the Pats game but that one was done by the half. Also no issues with getting checked bags and Leslie was there for us in a few minutes with a comfortably used vehicle...
Weather has been perfect with zero AM showers which usually hamper early morning tennis, Perfect...sunny..warm...not Seekonk, MA at all.
Lots of places are trashed but MANY are doing fine. The devastation at SBR is an extreme contrast with three missing buildings (sad) and all the others looking fantastic. B pool has been totally redone to an infinity pool...still freaking freezing though.... (pics tomorrow)
Disjointed thoughts: ...Lee's is getting there with workers doing their thing....BBB looks unaffected and the ribs and Happy hour two Corona for three bucks helps....Roxy Beach is RIGHT next to Royal Palm and says "opening Soon"..ummmmm...no way.....Happy Bay was great today. minimal vegetation and shade but the beach is great. Only maybe 20 people there..MANY more huge iguanas than people...all sitting in the leafless trees on the walk over the hill. I mean HUGE...and orange....new casino near Lal's..used to be a market..didn't go in..Flamingo is a shell...as is Royal Palm. I could hear workers at Flamingo but absolutely zip at RP...Went to the roundabout Carrefour and was REALLY impressed. Looks like a typical mega-market in France...perfect ....Cost-U-Less has Carib at $18/case but meat looked like it had issues. Stick to Carrefour....BBQ at SBR tonight (every Tuesday)..$10 for BBQ ribs and chicken AND beer. We'll see....
Ok..enough...maybe pics tomorrow...I set up wifi calling for a couple of tennis people and left my phone with one of them.....
