Some Vacation Observations

We are now all settled in at our usual place to stay.  Was sort of a rough arrival considering the "elevator of doom".  And those of you who were here with us the last visit know what I mean.  The bellman had all of our stuff loaded on his cart and we got into the elevator.  We're on the twelfth floor.  On the way up the thing made a noise and lurched to a stop at least five times.  And each time it would announce it was having technical difficulties.  NO SH**!!  Golfer and I were watching each other and hanging on.  Each time it happened the young bellman muttered swear words real quietly.  And it wasn't like the thing would stop at an actual floor and let us open the door and move to the  other elevator.  No, we were there for the duration.  Finally got to the room and made a call for maintenance.  So each time we need to go up or down we hold our breath a little.

Other than that, things are pretty good.  I've been wondering if there is new management.  Things are a bit cleaner, there's been some other repairs and painting done, security is tighter.  The unit we're in has a larger fridge with an ice maker and even a small dishwasher.
 
The weather is beautiful.  It's around 80 and the sun is out and breeze is blowing.

One thing about our space here.  There is some interesting decorating.  I think Bloomer would call this a "fancy lady chair".  We also have this "fancy lady lamp"!  That's not just fringe around the shade, that's lots of fancy little beads!  Not the usual beach style decor!

As I've mentioned before, I like watching people.  Yesterday I saw a boy, maybe about 14 or 15 I'm guessing, catching some rays by the pool and watching the girls.  He had his shades on and he was being cool.  Then his Mom showed up and made him stand up so she could rub sun lotion all over him.  He did not look happy!

Saw a cute sight this morning.  There was a father out on the beach with a little boy about 3.  The dad had a metal detector.  The boy had a little shovel.  Dad would scan and point and then the digging began!

Stay safe!
