Hi

Arriving early August with family (husband, Amy 8 and Ben 4 years). Never been before, heard lots of brill things, but also some very boring people who love to be negative.

Anything I should be aware of (huge bugs, dodgie stomaches etc) - anything I should bring with me that you just can't get a hold of??

I know, very boring basic stuff. Born worrier!!

Many thanks in advance.
Ali

Sorry for no reports for two days, simply thank Verizon!!! I've had email but no internet access for 2 days...

So, yesterday we had serious thunderstorms and rain roll in later in the day.

Today it started out fabulous, nice and hot and sunny, deteriorated into overhead clouds and some rain.... HOpefully tomorrow will be back to sun and heat.

Sabina, the weather will be hot and sunny with a likelyhood of thunderstorms or showers later in the day...

Have a great day.

Good morning, today is overcast, hot and we have nice breeze. Today is a great day to get all your errands done. It isn't so hot that being outdoors is sticky, the nice breeze keeps you cooled off a bit and it isn't actually raining. It might rain later today..... that wouldn't be a total surprise.

Last evening was very nice. Okay, don't tell anyone, I cooked dinner! It was overcast so I couldn't take advantage of the almost full moon for ambiance so we relied on good music and nice company. A breeze kept my apartment very nice for cooking... Later we sat on the front porch in rocking chairs looking out over the neighbourhood. We would have gone up on the roof but we had a light rain falling. The air was slightly cooled off, nice breeze, good company and good conversation!

Have a great day.

We have another beautiful day here. It is over 32 degrees, slightly humid and with a very light breeze. There are some clouds building off to the east but nothing to worry about right now.

Make sure you are wearing your high SPF today!

I expect we will experience a thunderstorm later on tonight, the humidity seems to build every day lately....

Have a great day.

Hello there. WE have another beautiful day here in paradise. It is over 32 degrees already and it needs to rain soon!!! It is humid. We have a breeze today and there are clouds to the east so I think we might get some rain later on.

Last night was the hottest stickiest night I can remember in a long time. There was absolutely no breeze last night. As soon as you went outside you felt like your clothes were stuck to you!

It is a nice day to spend at a swim up bar!

Have a great day.

Cool Pretty please...

... Planner, can you please turn on the breeze, cool down the air a little, especially at night time....
Right now you are too tourist oriented, and need to think a little of the wellbeing for us living here too..

I will bring you some stuff you like from Europe when I go, as a "thank you"...
