1 a rest and relaxation vacation complete with sun and surf
2 a food vacation complete with surf and turf.
The food was just simply amazing.
So, we said our goodbyes to the staff, Joyce - our concierge and our chef Emilio Talancon
Read a blurb about his black sapote - muy bueno

We are hoping Emilio will post more recipes...
Our flight was almost uneventful except for almost missing the flight in Charlotte.
I was able to bring back some Cuban cigars bought in the duty free shop. That was nice.
We got home late, the kids were pretty tired. Opened the fridge only to find out it had been emptied. The work of thieves you ask?
Also the pantry and cabinets had been relieved of their contents?
Mice?!
Na...it was the tricks our neighbors play on us when we go on vacation.
You may ask are they immune from the same hijinks?...nope.
One year these neighbors were coming back from vacation, and we decided to have a party in their front yard. The look on their face was priceless when they saw all of us eating and drinking in their front yard.
Another time, we set alarm clocks to go off at 9 pm the night they arrived home from vacation. To see them running around on their house looking to turn off the alarms was priceless. An added bonus, we hid a walkie talkie in their sofa so we could also yell at them when we saw them running around. We also set a boom box to go off and start playing the "Halloween" movie theme at the same time. Some good laughs.
Since we have come back, we are all sad, we have no one to wait on us and serve us awesome food. Oh well...we can only dream and until next time.
