Beach Time
We really didn’t have a ton of time left this afternoon, but we felt obligated to get down to the beach for at least a little bit. Not only because we still hadn’t gone swimming in the ocean on this trip (!!!), but we also had a free casabella awaiting us. We checked in at the little surf shop place down there and they told us where to find our casabella:
Yeah, that was nearly the extent of our usage. Wish we’d had more time, but we really didn’t do much more than try it out briefly before heading across the sand to the water:
Proof that we were indeed in the ocean:
Once again, there was GoPro Photopass in the water:
We had a nice time, though brief, then headed back to the pool area to check the last few items off our lists.
Dug took Izzy over the zero-entry pool area to play while I went down the tube slide (the one where you ride a tube down that empties into the lazy river). As I was sitting on the top, about to go, they had to delay the ride because of a report of a lost bracelet down below. They conducted a search for it before letting me go down. It was maybe a 5-minute wait. Not sure if they found it or not. I was just glad I was sitting in a tube in a bit of water vs. just standing there in the hot sun waiting. I enjoyed the slide, but had to get out before going around the whole lazy river (darn limited time! )
My next stop was a few more minutes in that lovely hot tub at the Infinity Pool. So nice.
After I’d had my fill, I went to retrieve Izzy and bring her up to the room while Dug had a bit of solo hot tub time too.
Once up at the room, I got both Izzy and myself cleaned up and ready for dinner, then scrambled to get all of our luggage ready to be picked up. Dug returned and got cleaned up during this time as well. We called Ama Ama and were able to push back our dinnertime slightly to 5:15pm. We still ended up arriving there around 10 minutes late, as we had to pack up all the swim stuff and wait for Bell Services to come and take our luggage. Interesting note on that: we had a lot of leftover food and drinks, including a lot of that Kahlua. We asked the Bell Services guy if he wanted anything and he said to leave it all there for the housekeepers – they really enjoy the extra food/drink. So, we did. Hope they had a good time with all that Kahlua and Fresca!
Up next: A lovely sunset dinner.
