Norwegian Cruise Highlights: Paintings and Towels Oragami
I would like to say that I had a good time within this cruise. The sad reality is that I enjoyed my time off the stupid thing. This was back in 2017. There was a Tropical storm that coincided with my birthday. Rather than doing the sensible thing of giving us full refunds, the cruise decided to sail ahead through the storm. This was our first time on a cruise and also the last time. My mom had a bunch of muscle pain from the humidity. I suffered from terrible nauseas from the ship moving left and right a little...
Nobu and Eden Rock Past Vacation Fun Reminiscence
Today, I wanted to have a bit of a flashback about my previous vacation. It has been forever since I last visited these two hotels. I have fond experiences of both places. It got a little crowded around the edges the last time I visited, but whatever. I do not remember why or when mother decided to visit this place once. It meets two important criteria. It is close to the beach and it has a pool. It is also close to my favorite eating places Manolo and Sazon. There is also a cool pizza place that is also a...
Pool Relaxation in the Backyard
Today, I wanted to meditate a bit on the pool. That is to say the pool that I used to have. It was one of those above ground fakeish type of pools. It was pretty deep around the edges. It ended up being a good place to raise frogs, and to dispose of bird legs. We should have paid for the pool guy to give it monthly income. Unfortunately, such niceties cost an arm and a leg. Anyhow, we ended up getting rid of the pool when Irma came. We wanted to avoid having it fly off to the neighbor’s...
Chesapeake Vacation Two Day Weekend
Last week or so, I went to Chesapeake Beach Resort with the family. It had been forever since we had something that resembled a real vacation. We had visited before ages ago. So, it was a good a time as any to revisit the place. Plus, I was in a fresh shrimp type of mood. The hotel is a stone’s throw away from my favorite fish restaurant. It ended up raining twice during the vacation. The first time was late at night. This gave us plenty of time to fool about the pool. I also did Kayaking for an hour...
Labor Day Foodie Wahoo Desserts and Chesapeake Breakfast
Today, I wanted to rant about what I ate during my vacation. I first went to my usual breakfast place in Delicias de Espana. Afterwards, mom drove us down to Islamorada. Bro was very stressed. So, it was a good excuse as any to go on vacation. After we settled in the hotel, we went to the pool. At night, we ate at Wahoo Bar and grill. It was amusing to see how the Key Lime pie had changed over the years. The whip cream on top is extra crispy, which is nice. The cheesecake has now different topping...
