Nope I got lucky but it was pretty easy to get close. 16 minutes ago, c-leg5 said: The big question - sargassum looks good? Although I see the barrow at the ready. Actually it was very good. It’s not as clear here than it is in the USVI but they put seaweed nets around to close off Krazy Lobster beach. They also had a guy in the water scooping up sargassum so I was impressed with how hard they worked to keep the area clean. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted September 19, 2022 #71627 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I think White Castle is one of those things you have to grow up with to appreciate. However, I didn’t so I don’t. As a teenager, some of my Bronx-born friends would always tell how much they missed White Castle when their families moved up to Rockland Co. and once they got their drivers licenses, would take the 1-hour one-way trip back to the Bronx just to get White Castle. Eventually, one did open in my home county and I was very much looking forward to trying it. The lines were crazy long and I eagerly waited to get a “sack of sliders”. I love hamburgers & could eat one every day. But what I got instead was a bunch of slimy onions on a greasy roll with nary a hint of hamburger meat. I’ll take Sorrento’s pizza over White Castle any day of the week. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to the Malecon in Mahahual (and Maya Chan) when it has been deep. The nets at Krazy Lobster and baffles really seem to be helping when it isn’t too bad. We will be back soon hopefully it stays that way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. H. Posted September 19, 2022 #71630 Share Posted September 19, 2022 This is an old pic of WC in my neighborhood.

I plan on getting my 2nd covid booster in October. Then get my flu shot middle of November. I don't want to get together even though they say it is okay. I prefer to wait 2 +/- weeks in between them. I know people who take both on the same day but I always wait at least several weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we have several Wawa's in our area. Their parking lots are always chaotic. They do have good coffee and occasionally we will grab a hoagie (not the best but they are good). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
