Airport looks great but like most things that are built it takes a long time.It looked like some some shops are ready to open.Wife got her nails done at the spa at the Ocean Club,I think she only got a polish change $17 plus tip

One More ??

Did the animal shelter have any type of "event" at the Marriott property while you were there? Just curious of the duck race is held weekly.

Thanks again?

Nothing going on with any kind of fund raiser at the Marriott,as for the pool,it wasn't crowded at all ,but the lazy river was.The beach was not crowded at all,i think it was because the ocean was loaded with seaweed and coral,some days better than others.We stayed for twp weeks and on both Wednsdaysthey had to shut the air condition off for repairs,it wasn't bad with out a.c.because the rooms have fans.The 2nd week they had a water main break the shut the phone and internet service down for two days,dont know when it came back,it was still down when we left.Hope this helped .
