Oh- regarding food options. There is a little shack looking place called Rhinehart's that everyone loves. Its average at best, but a fun place to drink beers. I did have the shrimp basket for $12.00- 6 huge shrimp fried up perfectly. I have to go to Augusta a lot for work and one of my local folks loves Rhineharts. They eat ranch on their fried tilapia- no thanks to that.

Cape Town, SA. The wharf area for dining and shopping were great and the homes in the beach towns reminded me of California coast homes. Huge homes with all glass overlooking the ocean from the cliffs.

From Lubbock to Miramar is a BBQ place called Evie Mae's. Check it out!

Just returned. Dine at the Westin Beach house. Fantastic service, presentation and selection. Rent a car, tour the island, so much more than just 7 mile beach. Go to Smith's cove for snorkeling , swim with the turtles at Spotts Beach. We saw 15 turtles right off the beach snorkeling. Go to Rum Point and you can snorkel with stingrays off the beach for free and Starfish point is cool too.
Drive to Hell, Go have lunch/drinks at Macabuca Tiki bar- you can swim/snorkel right off the Tiki Bar then pop back for some drinks,etc.
The downtown area ( where the cruise ships tender in) is the worst part of the island.

Boating, hiking, cliff jumping. Its just gorgeous there

If the phone has sudden unusual movements it sends a text alert out about it being a crash, or dropped phone with hard impact asking you to check on the person and sends the location as well in text

Planning mid August trip. We want to stay in smaller beach towns along the Algarves and along the coast of Spain towards Seville. Anyone have recommendations on hidden towns or must sees along the route? Thanks.

My 85 yo Mom plays the " my son is a LT " every time she got pulled over or wrecked. Its gotten to the point where hes told her " do not use my name again". We pulled her DL this year and shes off the roads now!

Dulce Dough Bakery - great breakfast spot. Palmers Village cafe is excellent for brunch or breakfast- usually a wait there. As mentioned the Brewery had good food and different than typical brewery offerings.
The best bar on the island is in the lobby of a hotel on SSI. Village Inn and Pub- mostly locals there. Also the King and Prince hotel has a great lobby bar and dining with beautiful views.

On the East coast, Boca Raton is the place to go. Clean, upscale, nice bike trail great dining scene.

Cant help yet. Going with 16 folks in September for a BD party. Have a house rented on a hill overlooking the water. Its called Compass House in Tamarindo. We have an excursion planned every day in/around Tamarindo. We have all been to the jungle part of CR, so this will be a new experience.
