Day 3-Wednesday, December 9, 2009

 Now at the time of this writing we are awake SUPER LATE (at 4:30 p.m. local time to be exact so much for the shuttle to town–we were waitlisted anyway) and kinda hungover. No new mosquito bites to report, but the alarm clock in our room keeps blinking so there’s something wrong with it, or the outlet it’s plugged into. A mixed blessing though because it was set for 8:30 a.m. and given our condition it would have been a sin to be awaken at that hour. In fact the only reason we even woke up when we did was that housekeeping called the room to see if we wanted room service, because they were ready to clock out.

 Now off to see what the rest of the day (what little of it is left) and the evening holds! 🙂

 Night 3
The only thing remarkable about today was watching the sunset in its entirety, having an OK dinner of pineapple glazed chicken kabobs and rice at Jimmy’s Buffet, and some glorious lounging & swinging in a hammock in Shelli’s arms, where I truly could have stayed forever.

 Given that we are still recovering from Tuesday night, we’re turning in early (it’s only 9 pm) after a better dinner. I think the key is to get there earlier when there’s a better and fresher selection of food. One thing that’s definitely lacking on this resort is some good dessert! I am DYING for a chocolate chip cookie,  or REAL cake! The cake here tastes like sliced bread with sugar on top. Cake is supposed to be cake! And, I’m definitely missing/craving candy! This is a family resort and there are kids here, yet there isn’t a scrap of candy to be found. And I need it! *pouty pout* Well, maybe tomorrow we’ll raid the gift shop for a sweets fix. But for tonight, it’s time to shut it down. We’re gonna watch Modern Family on the TV (which by the way does not offer Fox, which 90% of the shows we watch come on). Oh, and I identified the city that the American TV here is broadcast from-New York! The political commercials for Governor David Patterson gave it away! As did the local news. My mentor Sanda will love to know that even in Curacao, I couldn’t escape New York City! 🙂
