 2 Rum punch is served! |
 3 As we arrive, we get a beautiful view of the resort which stretches across the entire bay |
 4 Max checks out the brochure of amenities. Notice the back patio of our garden-view room is only 20 steps from the beach! |
 5 It was getting late in the day, but we had to check out the beach by our room as the sun went down. |
 6 The Pavillion is the less formal of the restaurants. It is also open for breakfast and lunch. |
 7 Everybody that has any type of vehicle runs a taxi service in their spare time |
 8 On Friday, while Dave went diving, Max took a horticultural tour of the property with Ettien, the head gardener of a staff of 18 |

 13 The Sugar Mill is the more formal restaurant, open only for dinner |
 14 The main bar is attached to The Pavillion |
 15 The main pool and the two restaurants are at the center of the resort, elevated and overlooking the bay |
 16 On Saturday afternoon, we go to the spa to have our massages |
 17 The spa has its own pool on top of a point that looks out at Great Dog island |
 18 Max is required to take one spill per vacation. Unfortunately, this time hers was at the spa immediately following our massages. She is left with a couple of bruises and a small cut on the lip. |

 22 Needless to say, we spent a bit of time at the bar! |
 23 Super Bowl Sunday and the activity room was setup with extra chairs and the only TVs in the resort |
 24 Most days, Max relaxed on the beach just outside our back door |
 25 On Monday morning, Max decided we should learn how to sail a Sunfish |
 26 After a half hour of that, we traded in for a kayak |
 27 Our final dinner at The Sugar Mill |
