[MICKEY'S DREAMERS]

I'm gonna look for a cheesburger in Tortola.

According to Buffett's Margaritaville web site, the "myth of the cheeseburger in paradise" was inspired by a boat journey Buffett once took in the Caribbean. Buffett states that while subsisting on canned food and peanut butter, he envisioned eating a "piping hot cheeseburger". He reports that upon finally arriving in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, he was surprised to find a restaurant serving American cheeseburgers:
...we gave particular instructions to the waiter on how we wanted them cooked and what we wanted on them -- to which little attention was paid. It didn't matter. The overdone burgers on the burned, toasted buns tasted like mana from heaven, for they were the realization of my fantasy burgers on the trip.

I love that story !!!
We were very fond of that Margaritaville in front of the Universal -Orlando !!

It's ok, as we will have beach time at CC, while it's very scenic, dosn't look like much else to do except to get in the water.
