Cabana

One of our favorite parts of Sandals Emerald Bay was the cabana! This resort used to be Four Seasons then sold to Sandals.  You would have to get up early at 7am to grab one as cabanas get taken really quickly.  It's perfect for reading and relaxation! Cats roamed around the resort too. (cute!) One cat had a flea collar so I knew someone is taking care of these cats.  A cat got under my hubby's chair and rested. (as pictured) Then he got on his chair and rested.  I guess the cat knew we were cat people.

Part 2 (Dinner at Bahamas)

I tried to post one more video clip about  Drunken Duck Pub where my hubby and I liked to hang out often but it didn't work out.  This place had a lot of different beer and any kind of drinks you wanted along with pub food. (British fare such as fish and chips) I ordered shrimp curry dish and it was delish! Got to sample the couch fritters too. Not too bad! Our most favorite restaurant for dinner was II Cleo.  I had grilled lobster and it was out of the world! My hubby had steak and liked it a lot too. We loved their concept of dessert bar.  You order what you want and a chef cooks it front of you! You get coffee along with your dessert too.  My hubby said this was one of the best dessert he has eaten. See how small the portion is. No worries about gaining too much weight.  LOL



Tried to fix this but it stays this way here. (fine in my file) Italian cake



More coming next! (non food! LOL)

FOOD in Bahamas/Sandals resort

Since Sandals resorts are all inclusive meaning you go to different restaurants and you leave without paying a bill! The portions are usually small which were perfect for me. I never felt hungry. The portions should be like that in America!

Cafe de Paris

My video is about Cafe de Paris. We went there DAILY to get a specialty coffee or desserts. (they are small sized)  I miss that place already! It's  like a mini Starbucks cafe.
For breakfast, we went to Bahama Bay for buffet. For a couple of mornings, we went to II Cleo. Their breakfast rocked. Here's a picture of one of my meals. Egg White Omelet with spinach and asparagus and an oatmeal in a CUTE mini mug! For lunch, there were three choices-pizza (delivered to the pool or the beach!) buffet (it was OK), and Barefoot by the Sea. Barefoot by the Sea was our favorite lunch spot.  You can dig your feet into the sand. I ordered grouper sliders and I laughed when I saw them. They were so cute! Small but I felt full and could not finish all of them afterwards! This blog is getting long so I will save dinner for next blog.  To Be Continued!

Barefoot by the Sea

Pool Bliss

Most of Sandals resorts usually have a HUGE pool with a swim up bar. Since you only pay for one price, you get to try different kinds of drinks.  I usually got a Hummingbird drink as its like a spiked smoothie. (mix of fresh banana, milk, rum etc)  Jeremy usually gets Diet Coke with Rum. (I drink that sometimes too)

Paradise in Bahamas

We had a WONDERFUL time in Sandals Emerald Bay located in Exuma, Bahamas. Exuma is a very small island with an hour range of driving around its island. (I think) The beach is GORGEOUS. It;s one of the best we've ever seen. The sand is powdery SOFT. (the softest we ever felt too)  (this sums up what I've said in the video) I did not want to put this on facebook because I want to be able to look back and read my blogs in the future.  So I will be blogging more about our Bahamas trip so be sure to come back here later!

I miss this sight of the beach (moi at Exuma, Bahamas)

Want to be Insane?

I've always been afraid to try INSANITY.  I want to try Insanity: The Asylum but I find it more motivating knowing other friends are doing it also.  It is fun to do comparsion, feedback, progress, etc.  I find it boring if I am doing it all on my own. Asylum is one of the most tough workouts out there and I am willing to overcome my fear and be INSANE! It is only a 30 day program so why not?  If you are interested, let me know and we can be in a secret group on Facebook to share our progress about Asylum!

Goodbye Drinks

This video was almost a YEAR ago in Jamaica! I found this on my iphone as I was cleaning it up for our next beach trip. Yikes. In this video, I was drinking our favorite drink named Dirty Banana.  That was our usual "breakfast" drink.  Yes, the bars open EARLY in the mornings!!! This was like a spiked smoothie.  LOL  I don't know how to caption the video. I said that it was our last day and we drank this dirty banana drink daily. On our last day, we grabbed the drinks in the MORNING  before we went home. We don't know if we would be back and have this drink again.

On our honeymoon at Sandals in St. Lucia, I was hooked to this frozen drink named Nutty Colada. I was afraid I'll never find this drink again so I had the drink at 10am in the morning on the day we left!  AND I haven't had this drink ever since.  No one knows how to make this drink. 

Last Day on our Honeymoon (ten years ago!)

I am HOPING Sandals Emerald Bay will make those dirty banana AND nutty colada drinks. We also hope to find another signature drinks there as well.
