Today is the first day that I have been able to come online to this board????? Geeezzzz, going on vacation is tough. So much work to come back home to.
We had a wonderful time. Orient Beach was my favorite
. Gained three pounds on the cruise. I wonder how that happened? I got plenty of sun, and boy did that feel sooooo good. Well, I don't want to brag too much here while everyone else is sitting in the cold.
Had a tour of the Mailibu rum factory. Boy, was that filthy. The vats are on the roof open to all the elements including bird droppings, etc. Euch, won't drink that rum anymore!
Next week I should be back to normal coming to the board on a regular basis. I will try to make the chat this Sunday night.

The Queen has returned and is telling tales of a land far far away. Did you get me a souvenir?

With all this snow, looks like there will be spring skiing this year. Gisele will be all set for the bathing suit or shorts while skiing.
Why, oh why would they have this rum place open for tours?? It sounds disgusting. I guess the bugs (bacteria) can't live in the alcohol envirement. The only tour I ever made was the Budweiser factory at Busch Garden near Tampa. That was all stainless steel and CLEAN, CLEAN. Went right out and downed three freebies!

mamsram did you notice just how much better tasting it was right from the tap compared to what you buy? I thought it was excellent.

Some years ago we hiked in the hills near Denver, and came down to the Coors tour; rarely has beer tasted better!
Fresh!

I think everything tastes better when it is freshest. A long time ago I worked in the office of a major commercial cookie bakery, and WOW! those warm, fresh cookies and crackers were GRRREAT!

Rum was always my liquor of choice, now you made me think twice about that, I'll put that on my NO-NO list along with the ones with bugs/etc, at the bottom of the bottle.
It was a good winter to visit any place warm, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip,

Rum is good
Rum is good
Just think twice about Malibu rum. Actually I was poolside with a couple who toured the Cruzin Rum site in either Barbados or Martinique and they said it was very clean. Vats were kept indoors protected from the elements. Now when I order my rumrunners I will just make sure they don't use Malibu rum
After spending some time in the sun and warmth I am ready to move to Florida. Went online looking at condos in the St. Pete area. It is snowing today here, and although I love to ski, I have had enough of this cold. Actually while on Orient Beach I was daydreaming of living down there-it was so beautiful. Calgon take me away! LOL
Glad to hear that everyone is doing fine and I hope that Ross behaved with Bonnie while I was away. It will take me a while to catch up on reading all the boards. Hopefull I will have more time to read them this coming week.

Napa Wineries
I used to be a service tech for the company that makes the shoplifting alarms (sensors), and had a few accounts at the north end of Napa Valley. I would make those accounts my last stop of the day, then hit up a few wineries on the way home. No more than a taste, mind you, but the best experience was one rainy day when there was no one around, and I was the only one on the tour. When we finished the guide broke out a special bottle of port in the tasting room. He would have gotten in trouble, 'cause that was reserved for the high rollers, but it was good...
As far as fresh stuff, I used to be the assistant manager of the barracks that the cooks lived in at the Treasure Island Naval Station in the middle of San Francisco Bay. When I had the night shifts they used to bring me doughnuts fresh out of the oil. wow!

Ross, yes it never tasted better. BUT, my mental-state was in the clouds to begin with, and did you know that beer has a shelf life? It gets stale with time. I'll bet that souveneir is a bottle of rum from that yuck factory,watch out Ross.
That bug in the bottle? toquila I think, poor thing drowned happy and without a care What happens to that bug? Do people eat it, spit it out or just try to avoid contact with it?
