    Update - 4 dresses - Pearls - a little silver and a day tour for tomorrow that I am trying to get out of so I can go and watch the PGA. It's about 10 minute drive from our resort. I could use a little alone time after today.

    Just to let you guys know...Tonight I'm sitting in the 24hrs sports bar drinking Blue something and enjoying a Cohiba Siglo II and have about 3hrs of work to do. So it's not all fun......Need to pay for the watch I saw today..but did not buy...But I am thinking about it...Might have to sell a few Scotty's to pay for it or pass on the watch and buy a few more Scotty's???

    Talk to you later..

    We are staying at the Blue Bay Grand Esmeralda. It's an all-inclusive.
    The food and service have been great. Just tip the right people and your stay will be perfect.
    Day 1 tip the Bar fridge man - 2 bucks for doing his job and than an extra 5 for more beer, diet coke and water.. Next day rather than 2 beers I had 7, rather 2 diet cokes we had 5 and rather than 2 bottles of water we had a case of 6. Than every day a buck or two and we never ran out. Used room service every dayfor coffee and stuff. Another 5 bucks and we never waited more than 20 minutes for our orders.
    I got a little advice from my travel agent..He said pay for the room that you would be happy staying in than take a taxi and arrive before the rest of the group you are flying with and ask for upgrade. I did this and was able to upgrade the 2 rooms I had. We ended up with Ocean view on the top floor (only 4 floors) right at the beach. (Happy wife, you know what that means) We were the only ones in the lobby when we arrived for check in. Cost me $20.00 per night extra per room. Booking it with our agent would have been $300.00 more per person. We are leaving today. So yesterday I went to the Taxi man. For $2.00 I reserved a van at the time we wanted to leave at and to make sure he picked our bags at the time we wanted. 1st things this morning I get a call telling me the van will be there waitiing for us at 3:30 and he will be by to get our bags at 12:00. 12:00 he shows up to get our bags. The whole trip has been perfect and it's amazing what you can get done if you are not tight. I gave him $10.00 for picking up our bags.
    So now were killing time...drinking Miami Vice..I have no clue what it is but it's good. It's going to be an easier flight now........
