We are home now, back in the snow and cold <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> Here is the last of our trip report....

Day 9 (Saturday) - woke up to clouds and went to the Sunset Beach Bar for people and plane watching - after it started raining, we went to Maho for some shopping, then back to the room for some quiet time <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> Ate dinner that night at Bonita's Cantina - Mike had some kind of pork and I had tacos, both were fantastic! Back to the room and to bed early.

Day 10 - Woke up to rain, so we slept in a little and then headed over to Orient to see what the weather was like there. It was still rainy, so we went to Andy And Cheryl's and ordered a couple of drinks (the Bloody Mary was awesome). We were bummed we weren't hungry, as their breakfasts looked wonderful and the plates looked huge! We ran into the Clements (we had met them at the TTOL party), and met their friends Tom and Joey and their cute little dog!

We spent some time talking to Andy and asked if he would put up a police patch we had brought; he was more than happy to oblige us and it was stapled up on a post near the bar <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> We look forward to "visiting" it every year now!

We met up with our new friends Paul and Jane at the Perch and decided to tough out the weather, which actually ended up clearing and we had a beautiful last day on the beach at Club O. We ate lunch at Papagayos (don't know if I spelled that right!) and the food and service were great. We stayed all day on the beach and returned home as the sun was going down. We quickly showered and went to the Greenhouse for dinner, and spent our last night at La Bamba sitting on the beach listening to the music. I even got Mike to dance with me on the sand <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />

Day 11 - Slept in, packed, and took one last walk on the beach- said goodbye until next year! We checked out and thanked Marcus and Carter for a fantastic stay! Took our car back to AAA, got a ride to the airport, checked in, and relaxed until leaving. Had a delay in Charlotte due to the weather in Chicago, but made it home not much later than we expected.

Overall, we decided this was our favorite trip and are very excited about returning!
