No Hot Water at Hacienda Del Mar!

On our first full day at Hacienda Del Mar, I chose to shower in the main bathroom, while Señora Luvely used the shower in our bedroom (it was a 2 BR, 3 Bath condo). As I walked back into the bedroom, I heard miserable moans and groans echoing out of the shower stall. “What’s wrong” […]

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to penetrate the Club Orient grounds.

Day 7 – I’ll Have Those Drinks Now

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 I arrived at a deserted beach at 5:30 AM and witnessed the most beautiful sunrise I had seen all week. With high thin clouds on the horizon, the sun came up as a brilliant orange/pink glowing ball. After the sun was up, I decided to resume The Salutation […]

Day 6 – The Experiment

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 I left the room at 5:45 and returned to my favorite sunrise photo spot, the rocks at Coco Beach, where I captured some great new sunrise shots on my digital SLR. Afterward, I took my customary beach walk the length of the beach and back. I had become […]

Day 5 – Too Much Sunblock

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 I jumped out of bed at 5:30, well before sunrise. I grabbed the camera and made my way down to the newly identified sunrise photo spot … the Coco Beach rocks. I could tell the sunrise was going to be divine. I began snapping photos when I could […]

Day 4 – The Day to Forget

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 My internal clock woke me at 5:45, signaling the start of my solitary hours, before the ladies arose. I headed to the beach for my first photos of a Saint Martin sunrise, which was beautiful that day. However, being my first SXM daybreak event, I wasted plenty of […]

Day 3 – You Can’t Fight Island Time

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 I was up late again at 7:00 AM, took a short walk on the beach and then awakened the ladies at their requested time, so we could be shopping in Philipsburg at 9:00. Showers, makeup, breakfast, traffic and viola, we were standing on Front Street in Philipsburg at […]

Day 2 – The Saddest Little Car on the Planet

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 We decided to sleep in, considering the late arrival the previous night, so I was up at a very late 6:45 AM. I quickly took my first glimpse of the ocean from our balcony and then decided to take a stroll on the beach, while Madam Luvely and […]

The Airport Fiasco!

Adventures in Los Cabos – February 2009 We arrived (Dawg and wife, Señora Luvely) at Denver International Airport and had just made our way through security to the terminal. As I was leaving the men’s room, Señora Luvely approached me and said “did you hear them page us over the intercom?” Now worried, we arrived […]

Day 1 – Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride

Adventures in Saint Martin – April 2007 We awakened excitedly at 4:45 to the expected 15 hour travel time from our front door in to the hotel. I checked the flights online and to our horror, the first flight is delayed 3 hours. That will ensure that we miss the second leg from Dallas to […]
