Trip Report STT-Day 2
I decided there were too many words and not enough substance in my first day’s report so I will try to be succinct. . . I said try.
Woke up to the gorgeous view.
Wanted to hit Coki Beach to have my favorite drink - - Island Girl (rum, mangoes, strawberries, maybe a banana, and more rum. But first, needed to let my hubby take over the driving so out to practice. We went up to our property in St. Joseph & Rosendahl while I was repeating keep left, keep left and sometimes KEEP LEFT.
I drove back. . . I probably didn’t give him a fair shake, something about my inner control issues.
Off to Coki, it’s still early, prime parking spot, Craig meets us and gets our chairs for us. ($5 each for the day). We are the second ones on the beach, that’s nice. I go snorkeling and am slowly making my way around (I do dawdle when snorkeling) and all of a sudden I have all kinds of people surrounding me, hitting me with their flippers, talking and generally causing a commotion in the water and they are all kicking and using their arms like there’s a shark or something. I guess the cruise ship people are here. . .Time to start drinking! Snorkeling was good at Coki, lots of nooks and crannies to look into and there were a lot of fish and some of the coral was in good shape but others were damaged. I did yell at someone to stop standing on what they thought was a rock. They ignored me. . .
Pretty much relaxed the remainder of the time there. In the water, lay on the chair, drink, in the water, repeat as necessary. Several buckets of beer and 2 Island Girls later (the 2nd Island Girl, he had asked me if I was driving and I said no. . . . that just means more rum), I decide that I needed a new purse. Now ladies, don’t buy a knockoff purse on the beach after drinking heavily. Your powers of persuasion and your judgment is quite limited. I am now the proud owner of a very expensive Chanel knockoff. I rest my case.
We both need a nap and I have emptied my old purse (ziplock bag) of cash) so off back to the condo for a much needed nap. Went to Duffy’s for a quick bite later on for dinner. Nothing spectacular and I completely forget that Duffy’s only accepts cash, I leave my hubby at the table for collateral and I’m off to the cash machine once again.

Clicking on the right blue string shows the pics. Don't know why they didn't show up on the page.
MORE!!!!...Rum that it!!! lol! Ok, I'm kidding, would love to hear more about your trip. The way you are writing is like you are here! Coming over? 😎
Sherri, can I come over? :o)
Thanks for the trip report. If you want to avoid the cruise ship crowd at Coki, try snorkeliing at the far left. If you are facing the water go due left, and oh, I got pretty good Prada knockoff. Cheers!
Molly, you're absolutely right. There's great snorkeling over there and usually you'll be by yourself. There's a reef there. Just make sure you have your flippers with you because the tide can really push you around, but I agree with you 100%
Enjoyed both your reports. Traveling from Houston you were able to arrive in the afternoon, which sounded like a good thing since you had time to go to the store and check a few things out on your travel day. We're heading there from Austin in Oct and won't get in till 8:05pm (had a 3:30 arrival but AA took that flight away and rescheduled us).
Real nice photos -- don't know all the locations but they all look like beautiful places to visit. And everyone obviously enjoying themselve.
Your 1st report wasn't "too many words and not enough substance" for me. Keep reporting whatever you'd like to share -- it will be read, and appreciated at this end.
Hey girl,
Awaiting more! By the way, two of the four plumeria cuts are budding. The other two are sitting there looking stupid...
Hurry back - the tomatoes didn't last nearly long enough but were a taste of Heaven. Cheers!
Connie,
Of Course you are welcome!
Will miss you at the get together and will miss C Urchin as well!
Keep the report coming!
