Coralc Posted August 11, 2023 #100377 Share Posted August 11, 2023 The San Francisco 49'ers actually play in Santa Clara at Levi Stadium, where Taylor Swift played. The SF Bay Area is sort of like one big continuous city, that just encircles the Bay, with bridges here and there. ☺️ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truckers have also shown their appreciation with a horn salute when she departed the stadium after the concert. A g|ame changer for everyone. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the fare on an official board and was it less than Infinity asks when you pre-book ($25pp). How is the construction progressing at Infinity? Yes. The round trip fare was $25 pp. We did not pre book the day pass or transport since we were not sure what we would end up doing. We did think about Maya key and French key excursions after Turquoise bay was sold out, but ended up with our tried and tested Infinity. Construction is kind of not there. Whatever they are currently constructing is marked off by tall aluminum fence with boards saying "Great things coming and thanks for putting up with us while we ....blah blah blah." Never heard any noise or anything being "constructed". There were many families vacationing there and some we chatted with were very happy with the resort. Strangely many were from Texas, vacationing there. Edited August 11, 2023 by Arzeena 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more frustrating when they just won't eat. Made my two year g/son home made burger and home made chips with salad and vegan cheese. He hardly touched it. With his multiple allergies plus mum only allows him water during the day, it's hard to get the calories in him, though he has tons of energy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted August 11, 2023 #100390 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Last month, family members successfully walked the Larapinta Trail. One of the great walks of Australia. 223km. Starts in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory and goes across the West MacDonell Ranges and finishes at Mount Sonder. A challenging walk with stunning scenery, flora & fauna that took them 20 days. They did it themselves with pre-arranged food drops along the way. I love the beauty of Central Australia and plan to do this as part of a paid walking group when I retire. 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 11, 2023 #100392 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Yesterday, we had all our grandkids at our house. They decided they were going to make a movie, so they wrote some scenes, and I was drafted to be the cameraman, and had to edit and splice the scenes together. It was pretty amusing. Even Susan got drafted to play the part of a tv reporter. This morning, we are picking up the other two and taking them to breakfast while my daughter has an appointment. My grandson from here has to go to the school later today, because they want him in a video they are shooting for the school. Maybe yesterday’s acting will help with his role today. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 11, 2023 #100396 Share Posted August 11, 2023 My granddaughter was talking to her mother about her gymnastics class. She told her that someone in her class was better than her. So my daughter shared this with her. Then her brother said, “yeah, but then there’s some leftover kernels at the bottom of the bag that never pop” 😂🤣 That boy is quick! 2 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is to say you may have had them at Maya key last time but may not next. Some one may report none at Infinity but you may experience them. The other thing is in a party of 6 only 1 may get bites. Probably the plus for Infinity you may spend more time at the pool and not on the beach unless you want to snorkel. We spend a lot of time in the pool at Maya Kay and have never been affected. i am usually a magnet for bites but always apply bug spray wherever i go on Roatan since it is a renowned problem and fortunately haven’t been affected. We did spend a day at Turquoise Bay once and the group next to us were badly affected while we were there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
