Laird & Andra - December, 2010 Wet, Wild, and Wicked ®
It was soooooo
good to be back (we missed 2009)!!! It
was really great to meet with old friends
and make new ones!! Denny was missed!
Observations:
ECs,
Other than being late most of the time,
they did a pretty good job. All seemed
approachable. Not a fan of the
portable mic/speaker set up.
FOOD, The
salad bar seemed kinda lacking and the
Friday night dinner feast seemed to be toned
down. The burgers in the main dinning
hall tasted more like burgers.
Otherwise, seemed on par with years past.
PEOPLE,
99% awesome!! Where else can so many
people from so many walks life get together
and it not matter what you do, how much you
make or where you live!
ATMOSPHERE,
Great! I didn't see a lot of "in your face"
stuff (cept for the hot tub, mostly after
dark). See below for further.
ENTERTAINMENT,
On the last 2 nights, The Roots Explosion
Band played a few too many slow moving
songs, though they their playing seemed a
little better. The Circus show was
pretty good. Dion in the Piano Bar
seems to be finding how to get the Hedo
crowd going, but still has a ways to go (see
the below).
WEATHER,
Chilly and mostly cloudy. I had to put
on pants for the beach dinner! The
humidity also seemed low most of the week.
The last night there, provided the best
sunset of the week with the sun melting
right into the Ocean. NO rain to speak
of. Saw it posted there was an
earthquake on Dec 5 in Kingston, but I never
felt anything.
MINOR
ANONYANCES;
Wife was sick
for most of the trip. Hot water for
the shower was not consistent. Slightly
chilly weather. PJ night at the disco
means no PJs, no entry. The guy who
wore the light blue Columbia type shirt
everynight did not understand and even
wanted to argue with the EC at the front
door. He then found the side door and
sat in the corner. Later, he changed
his shirt trying to stay in. There was
another guy who took off his pants to get in
the door, then put them back on once inside.
He would then eagle eye for ECs removing his
pants when he saw them and putting them back
on (it was almost comical). ECs or
non-resort people monopolizing the singing
at Piano Bar. One night in the hot
tub, a couple put on a good show.
Unfortunately the end of the show concluded
with a "direct deposit" in the hot tub.
OVERALL, It
was a good trip!! We'll be back!
