Antigua Mustache malady may be hunting on vacationers!

Romance Interupted!
 As you can see......It has no boundary...attacks at random. Below they appear to just be arriving home when $h*t hits the fan and mustaches begin to climb into place.












 Lastly, I think the mustache may cause drowsiness or slight inebriation?

Strange Mustache Disease appears to be going global

 Stranger things have happened, recently while
on trip to Belize black mustaches grew on all
in attendance at the Road Kill Bar.



This phenomenon appears to be spreading!











As you see from the photos at the bar.
The location of the growth varied although most were the standard variety of under nose growth but some place it ran amok!

disease. It then jumped into the US and was captured on film.


Nashville:






Strange facial hair malady crops up in Nashville
Mysterious disease first appeared in Belize


Police suspect drinking may cause exessive growth but tea drinkers are not immune!






This popped up in San Diego:



Appears Strange mustache disease
is going

GLOBAL
San Diego had a strange occurrence of Mustache growth in a restaurant.  The other diners watched in fear and awe as the strange occurrence quickly spread over the table.  This is the 3rd known occurrence, the origins were Ladies trip Belize when the Road kill bar had a serious 100% outbreak of spontaneous mustache growth, then in Nashville it hit others while dining.
When will it end! Where will it strike next! 
Please photo and post below so we can all be aware of how rapid this  is spreading.
(Will we need to carry shavers--How will we ever get on a plane knowing this itchy issue may occur and we are not prepared.)--

Belize Belize.... bugs ... Belize

View from our house/Child playing


I just returned from Ladies trip to Belize...actually St Ambergis Island, a part of Belize, but I think it is mostly a resort area with lots of expats. (Who some how all like to tells us  how "that guy is a millionaire"--huh-Big deal).   What was nice - the beautiful views, the friends, the laughter. the cook, the pool.

Looking for the fish

  • Didn't like the bugs. We had flies everyday around the pool.  Then the mosquitos would come in for dinner and a few of us would just give up the DEET and try to get the fewest bites.  People tell us we just hit a quiet spell but I have my doubts.  This many bugs don't move in over night!.  The last thing and final assualt was the sand fleas (no see ums for those from the east coast). They knew we were from out of town, fresh meat and took us for all we were worth.
  • On a better note, the snorkeling was excellent.
  • The ruins trip (I did not go) was a great success. All the ladies who went enjoyed it completely.
  • The petting of rays and sharks at the reserve, as well as the snorkeling in the reserve was reported to be the best most folks have ever done.
  • Road Kill Bar turned out to be a fun, laugh filled evening of Karoake. Even if I can't sing, they tolerated me.
    NO SEE UMS UGH!!!!!!! OUCH


Feeding Sharks

So although we didn't really go into mainland Belize, our trip was pleasant.
I wish I could say I would return soon but there are too many other places to see. 
(I did find it a bit expensive and to many millionare expats)

The laughter and fun with my lady friends made all the little whoa's small.  Thanks VBBF's ever!

San Diego Restaurants- Ok the Coffey Hole in wall guest tour!

Recently, I had some friends visit from Phoenix. Two of the ladies had never been here and recently moved to Phoenix. We decided to do a round about tour making a circle from San Diego through Chula Vista, over to Imperial Beach up the Strand to Coronado then up to Point Loma----eating as we went along.
Our first stop was "Tacos Del Gordo" in Chula Vista.  The first time you bring someone here they will look at you as if you are crazy!  It is a old taco fast food looking store front and the inside is not much better. I told the ladies trust me and only order 2-3 street tacos as it is going to be a long day (of food).
I tried to get them to order a little variety because the Lengua (tongue) is excellent. But they went for Carne Asada and Adobada(marinated pork). I did make sure they asked for all the topping.  They wanted more and these are the best street tacos outside of Mexico. Cheap and delicious.  You could eat 5-6 in a heartbeat.

We got back on the road toured until we reached Coronado.  Hunger returned after a walk on the beach.  A beer stop was needed. (I was designated driver!) We stopped at Mr P's Irish Pub and Grill.  We sat on the patio and watched the tourist eating burgers and fries while Cold brews we tossed down.

Now we didn't eat here but I have many times. It is good for a burger and some outdoor lunch dining while in Coronado but lots of good food can be found on the Island.  This just fits our hole in the wall experience. Cheap (for Coronado), cold beer, outdoor dining.


But if you live in Phoenix and you come to the ocean-you want seafood. So off to Point Loma Seafood for a Late Lunch. Now here you walk up to the fish counter and yell your order to any of the 10 -12 clerks who are waiting to write it up.  You get a beer and stand and wait until they yell your order is ready.  We carried it out to the partial enclosed patio and enjoy. All the fish is FRESH and made to order.




Now this wrapped up Day one but we decided to go to the beach in La Jolla then a burrito place for lunch and why not stay with the theme. Cheap, Good food!
We headed to Wahoo Fish Tacos. If you have never had a fish taco.  You are missing out on some good eating.

The other two places I would add to this tour if we had more time.
Would be Little Italy in the morning for espresso and a doughnut filled with cannoli filling!!!!. Oooh they are so great, OK so fattening and fried to boot.

Also, We might try going to Old Town and finding a large cup of fresh Mango's with Chili and lemon on top. YUM! (On Saturday at the Ol Town Street market- easily the best)

All of these treat would fill you up, give you a taste of San Diego and a tour of the area to go with it.    If you come out ring me up and come hungry!
Pleas add any other Hole in the walls that you know of in San Diego ---or even your town!!!

New Orleans Food stop



I know many of you who have been here-New Orleans and had a few "go-cups" but it really is about the food.
We ate our way through the city.
Irenes,Jacques-Imo's,Lola's,City market, Cafe Du Monde,Grocery market,Cochon, Upperline, Dante's Kitchen, Le Crepe Nanou, Mothers, HH Whitney House---breakfast in the morning-- and more.

(I put picture of Jackson Square church in as penance for all the food we ate.)




Irenes-good but make a reservation an hour or more than the time you want to be seated,  It seems only the locals got seated at their "reserved time" we waited 1.5 hours and ate dinner at 10:30 (8:30 reservation).
Jacques-Imos- OK but pricey and crowded. I ordered the fried chicken,which they promoted as the best in NOLA, nah it was just fried chicken.
Lolas- delicious. I have been here before and again the food was great and the price made it even better!
City Market- Mufelleta to go, You just can't go through town with out buying one to share this giant tasty NOLA sandwich!
Cafe Du Monde- go order  the coffee and dig in to the sugar dusty donuts. It is part of the NOLA journey.
Grocery Market (on St Charles) One of the many good places for a po-boy sandwich.  They love their sandwiches. So will you.
Cochon-excellent, interesting menu tasty pig.
Upperline-good and my family says great (but my duck was over cooked (hard in some parts), I  will give it another try to be fair I should have sent it back I am sure they would have graciously replaced with another.
Dante's Kitchen- this was my favorite during this trip of NOLA eating. Very tasty, fresh and great, great flavors in all of our dishes.
Le Crepe Nanou- a nice selection of different crepes, nice dessert too.
Mother's- Oyster Po-boy, excellent, may be the last time I get one for a long while. Oil Mess!!!
HH Whitney House- breakfast YUM YUM! always worth the stay, even if they had ghosts the breakfast would make you come back for more and we did!!!!

I am sure we went to a few more stops but this would be a good start if you are headed to Food City! The quaint New Orleans atmosphere makes all parts of our visit fun.
I didn't even talk about the museum, music or many other little day trips you can take but they are all around you, New Orleans is definitely back!

San Antonio Texas

Riverwalk_ early in the morning, but wait as the day goes on the restaurants open and the people start coming.  This is a pleasant nice area in San Antonio.  We stayed right across the  street in the Sheraton Gunter, a nice old hotel.  It had an interesting history which was displayed around the lobby.  To be with our tradition of [touching stuff before reading the sign(s)] I immediately began showing Nick how to use an old operator service-plug in style phone before we both notice the 'antique please don't touch' written in several languages...luckily we got away without a shout out!                                                                                  

I would recommend this as a nice hotel in a 
great location.
