Still hungry

We are having a wonderful time. We went to the beach, sat by the pool, and lazied the day away. I took a catamaran sailboat trip (as captain). The boat was small, but Mico taught me well and I am now captain. We are staying at an ok hotel, next to Giorgio Armani's palace but I have some gripes about the accomodations. 5 things you should expect from a 5 star hotel:

1) They don't send you a note that your credit card was denied. I have impeccable credit
2) They have service at the pool and beach. Margarita please!
3) The chairs are new and mold free - teak with cushions please!
4) You can see the TV from the bed. I don't care if its an LCD if I can't see it.
5) Pants required at the restaurant? Please. Work on your ammentities and then come back to the dress code when you are through.

Now, it needs to be said that this hotel is the # 1 rated in antigua on trip advisor by far. There are barely any negative posts. So clearly, Karyn and me have ridiculously high standards.

One last negative, it's ok if they don't have big food portions at an all-inclusive hotel, but I shouldn't leave dinner hungry. I mean, I asked the guy - is it a big lobster? His response: "Oh yes sir, its a very nice size." And why does the ice cream sundae need to have so many nuts and raisins? And why was Karyn's dinner a ball of cous cous and a piece of butternut squash big enough for ian to eat in one bite. Are they trying to tell us something?

All in all, we really are having a nice time, but blogging isn't just about peaches and kittens.
