We've been thinking a lot about our 16 years of timeshare ownership here at Divi and talking to other owners who've owned even longer than we have. It feels good to see such a loyal membership--especially when we hear of problems at other timeshares around the island. We are happy here!
The resort is in fine shape now and we're inspired to use more of it. I had a terrific facial at our Indulgence by the Sea Spa. We've been playing tennis on the refurbished courts--they even have night lights, though we are usually at the casinos after dark.
The pool above Gizmo's Bar is still one of our favorites. It has great shade and now even has two hot tubs. Bud likes it for reading the morning paper.
Each week they have a Manager's Cocktail Party at Gizmo's with live music, local vendors for jewlery and such and complimentary wine. Bud and Dot sharing a glass...!
Just as the party was getting into swing, a whale was spotted in Little Bay. We've seen them before, but were too late to catch this one. Here the two interns form Holland are anxious get a glimpse...no luck! The whale didn't stick around.
We also missed the arrival of the HNLMS Rotterdam for her tour of regional duty on Saturday morning. This is Rotterdam Class amphibious warship that helps patrol the area. She has a fully-equipped hospital and desalination plant and a huge deck for landing helicopters. There was an offical welcoming ceremony, complete with 21-gun salute and visiting dignitaries up at Fort Amsterdam. Dot got the announcement and made up to see the festivities (and also found this info online---thanks!). Bud and I slept through the whole thing--even the firing of the guns.
Three days later, the Rotterdam is still in port. She looks a little odd next to all the cruise ships!
We've also been enjoying restaurants...I'll post some info and our (expert?) reviews later in the week. Tomorrow we'll head to Anguilla--something we have been saying we'll do for a good 15 years!
