Well were home grey and frosty this morning what a let down.We had a good week at the ABR. There has been lots of talk about changes dont need my 2 cents worth. Did see some work in part of old # 4 , Stairs combining 2 rooms into new gym??? From marks on buildings looks like front 3 rooms gone from#4 all of 1,2,3 moonrise and old rest are going who knows when . Some work being done on theatre. For those that liked hanging around the palms where hammocks used to be thats now outside the resort by a few yards so had to shre with public plus all the day trippers walk bye on the way to snorkle too noisy so after a few trys moved down in front of # 7 for some quiet time.Water is busy, it was windy so not the best vis in the bay , the diving was great not many lion fish but saw way more turtles than i remember in the past ,drums lots of lobster some large crabs. I missed because had to come home but when i went by the dive shop Sat am the early dive saw a hammerhead sshark missed out again . Did get a night dive in this year 1st in 4 trys yes fish really do sleep.Will try and post pics in the future had new dive camera so will see how all came out.The food seemed better this year hotter and good selection evan the pickiest should not go hungrey, yes the pasta is still there fish chicken and beef most lunches and dinners, omelets for breaky . All the old stand byes still there .with less rooms the loss of the moonrise did not make longer lines at the 2 other bars, the cook in tha snack bar does need to cook burgers longer they were RAW just barly grey on the outside took them back to get them cooked properly , nothing like blood soaked buns to turn off snacks.will try more later. For the lger with the cooler sorry i missed you wife saw you and then you were hiding could not find you again i would have liked to sign the yellow cooler .Alma and marco were both sick but we got in a quick visit there busy all seems great there.
