. . . . and just like that, we're home again. Sorry for the delay in closing this thing up, but my post departing depression has prevented me from visiting the site, or doing much of anything else for that matter.
Sweet J had a little too much fun on Wednesday so Thursday, our last full day, was pretty slow. We mainly hung out by the beach and pool during the day and J was unable to go to the hottub.
I'm not sure if the bartender ever did get the jello shooters up to the hottub for happy hour, and ironically, one of the desert the buffet at dinner had red white and blue liquor gelatin.
The foam party was again cancelled on Thursday due to weather, so we can't report on that.
Friday was the normal leaving day. Packed did a few more shots of tequila and said our goodbyes. Quick trip back to the airport and breezed through security.
All in all it was a fantastic trip. The people were great. The room was nice, and the grounds were immaculate. The service from everyone on the staff was beyond anyone's realistic expectations.
We did suffer from some bug bites but it wasn't the end of the world. After the first day, we didn't experience any new problems with them, but J did look like she had the measles on the areas that were exposed while she slept on the beach bed. Also ants would get into any food left out, but again no big deal. Just don't leave food out in your room and you'll be fine.
The shower temp did fluctuate, but this was also only a slight annoyance.
With regard to whether the expense of a Passion Suite is worth it, I would say no. Unfortunately, once you stay in one, you can't go back to a regular ocean front. So I would say just do the ocean front and stay a few extra days.
To everyone that we met, thank you for making our vacation one of the best ever. We have a yahoo group for those of us that were there if anyone is interested. Just PM me and I'll send an invite.
If you've gotten this far, you have too much time on your hands, but thanks for reading.
