Day 3 (so far). Okay, full disclosure: I'm being so lazy I almost can't stand myself!! But darn it, I'm due, so I'll get over it and continue my couch potatoe ways...
Another beautiful but windy day; a bit hotter today and water is still really rough so I'm still "pooling" it. Slept in until 7am (I know, that's not late, but it is for me!). Wasn't really hungry so threw on some clothes and went downstairs to Manchebo's new "Coffee Bar". Honestly, not impressed. Took forever to get a coffee (and no one else was there) and a cinnamon roll which frankly was almost inedible). But I enjoyed my coffee back in bed watching a show on my laptop.
Finally made it down to the beach around 9:30. And folks, that is where Lisa planted herself for the day. I asked Victor for a couple of extra towels so I could prop my arm up. That sweet guy came back a few minutes later with a nice size pillow from one of the couches in the pavilion. I was reluctant to use it (really nice pillow) but he insisted it was okay and it really did do the trick. Had my favorite frozen lime daiquiri around noon and then a burger and fries which I shared with a few birds (I think much to the annoyance of the couple sitting near me; but I've quickly discovered they're "grumblers" about everything-anonymous staff info! Must protect my source! LOL!). I didn't even read much today; Popped in my earbuds and grooved to my BTS playlist on my tablet (85 songs strong and counting so it's good for about 5 1/2 hours). Think that annoyed them too since I was bouncing around on my chair and silently singing along. Think they thought I was either drunk (not) or a nut job (entirely possible). I didn't really care cuz I was having a grand ole time doing my thing. It's not like they had to listen to it...
Now I'm showered (my hair is not liking Aruba this year; it'll be straw by the time I go home! again, ask me if I care) and just relaxing on this incredible bed with the curtains open and a view of the pool, swaying palms and beautiful clouds doing some stuff on YouTube and writing to you dear people who I know completely understand that doing nothing or going non-stop are both acceptable on the happy island!
Soon I'll get dressed and go down to Ike's Bar. Today is smoked lemon drop martini day! I'll report back later on how it is. As I think I mentioned last night, I'm having dinner at Omakase Sushi Bar but I won't be having any raw fish and seaweed. Sorry, not my thing. I already know what I'm having...shrimp tempura app, main course yakisoba noodles with shrimp & steak and dessert banana tempura (have a "free" coupon for that). Think I'll try a Sapporo beer; never had it. After I waddle back to my room I'll report how all that went.
Hope I'm not boring you all with my minutae! So far, vacation is going just the way I hoped it would - being and not doing.
