Mini-Moon Day 6 - The Eleanor

September 22nd, 2007 · No Comments · The Eleanor

Very early morning, so I can take a last dip in the ocean. Ahhhh, so nice. And looking to be the nicest, sunniest day of the trip. Sigh. We have breakfast at Mosaic (buffet eggs benedict with runny egg yolks? impressive! totally safe? welll….) As we took a few last pictures from the balcony, it [...]

Mini-Moon Day 6 - The Alex

September 22nd, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Boy I hate mornings, but regardless up we were at 7:30 to take a walk down to the ocean for a morning swim. I was rather annoyed an unnerved by the unnecessary and unasked for *2nd* wake-up call from the hotel two minutes after the first. A little surprising given how well everything else was [...]

Mini-Moon Day 5 - The Eleanor

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

Don’t worry. This will be shorter. You might have been able to tell from yesterday that we really liked the Cove. A lot. So we re-booked our flight, and stayed an extra day. Booked online, cause it was $200 cheaper, had to check in again, but stayed in the same room. Totally worth it. Totally. [...]

Mini-Moon Day 5 - The Alex

September 21st, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Slept in a bit this morning, that was nice. Eleanor got up early to go exploring along the beach. I eventually rose, and went to lay out by the pool at Cain and read in the sun until Eleanor was done exploring.
She got back and we headed off to Mosaic (the upscale buffet at The [...]

Mini-Moon Day 4 - The Eleanor

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Eleanor

So we decided earlier that we would switch to Atlantis for our last day so we could check it out and try the waterpark and see the aquarium without paying extra. We called, and they said it was totally booked, which was odd, given we could book it online still. We had 2 (of 4) [...]

Mini-Moon Day 4 - The Alex

September 20th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

So this morning we checked out of Compass Point and said our fond farewells to head over to it’s antithesis - the mega-resort Atlantis. I’ll admit, as nice as the secluded and calm environs had been, I was ready for the change of pace to the tourist activity mecca that we’d visited the other day. [...]

Mini-Moon Day 3 - The Eleanor

September 19th, 2007 · No Comments · The Eleanor

Still raining this morning. But looks more likely to clear up, and in fact it did, mostly. A very lazy day, reading in the pool, walk on the beach, attempts at snorkeling (no fish and leaky masks make for boring snorkeling) another fabulous massage. Dinner at the hotel (we’re so lazy) risotto for me (ok, [...]

Mini-Moon Day 3 - The Alex

September 19th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex

Well, we woke up this morning and it was still raining, but not heavily, and thankfully it started to clear fairly early (while we started up this blogging, so now I’m actually writing live on Wednesday night, the rest of the entries have been written today as well - is that cheating?), so we immediately [...]

Mini-Moon Day 1 - The Eleanor

September 17th, 2007 · No Comments · The Eleanor

The flight down was one of the emptiest flights I have been on in years. Maybe there is something to flying at 8am, on a Monday morning, in hurricane season. But then you are flying at 8am, so its a bit of a trade off. And the airport here had a jet-way, a first for [...]
