Day One - A Day of Tears for Pink

[threeboysmom]

I'm heading down to stay at the CBR in August,

Did you eat at Shutters? if so did you need reservations? and how was the food?

Also, i'm going to need to buy milk and juice for the kids, can you buy any creamcheese or butter at the resort to use in the room? Do you know exactly what you can buy besides milk/juice - beverages?

thanx

Oh, how were the pools?

I'm staying in the preferred bldg - since i heard it was so so big!!

Lisa, I'm sorry I'm not going to be much help to you here... But we really didn't spend much time at the resort. We went to the food court ONCE on our first day, so I don't remember what you can buy exactly. I know if you are on the dining plan, they have a huge selection of pastries, fruit, cookies, drinks, etc. that you can get with a snack credit.

And no, we didn't eat at Shutters either. When we walked by, it looked rather empty, so I'm guessing you do not need an advanced dining reservation.

The main pool is very small and was crowded. Had a hard time finding lounge chairs there. Each village has their own quiet pool, and that was more preferable to us.

Hope this helps a little!

Well I met you and you did not look 45 but your DH looked 50 does that make you feel better. What is it with us girls looking so much younger and having men with grey hair.

All I can say is weak... weak... weak... weak...
The grey can be gotten rid of as most ladies know all too well... Care to comment? How about we go on the honor system here... the only people who are allowed to comment further on the topic are the ones who don't dye their hair... That should put all the future comments back on the topic of the thread... Any confessions? Any questions?

I have no problem looking older than my lovely bride... I want her to feel good.
(By the way, didn't like how that sounds... I am older than her... Will not say how much though.)

Daviedude: I agree, she definitely still looks mid to early thirties...

And Pink: Re-check Daviedude's post... he said "I am with you Threeboysdad, there is no way she is 45."
In other words, I am obviously more balanced in my comments than some...

50? Gee at least make it believable or get your eyes checked. Oops forgot, eyesite starts to fail before grey hair comes...
<Soapbox rant concluded>

Hmmm.... You can call me 45 on a PUBLIC internet forum, but when someone calls you 50, you can't take it?

OK, couldn't resist.... going back to writing my trip report again...

I suggest you resist next time. Please do go back to your report before someone gets hurt...

And I just thought I was coming over to read a trip report! Loved hearing about the first day though, on to the rest.. wonder if the family "discussion" continues over there.

 

[threeboysdad]

Actually there has been little discussion on the topic... She knows very well my opinion of her...
The communication in this house is reverse polarity from most...
