U.S./British Virgin Islands 2016

Hey Mon

To escape the long harsh winters of southern California we spent some time in the Caribbean islands. Hooters has this crazy ass friend named muffy who has a villa in st johns. Didn't take much for us to say yes when invited to spend some time with them at the Westin resort and villas. Mama and i were  in for some desperately needed sun,tan and pool time. Its was peak season for cruising the Caribbean so all the super yachts were out and about in the waters of the Caribbean. We went to the bathes at some Tortola which was basically massive rocks forming caves near the sea. You had to hike to them and they were hard to walk through so we spent little time there,hard work when on vacation is not what we sign up for. 

As you may know if your a avid follower of the lizard Ricky our third favorite activity on our vacations is shopping, and were else is there any better shopping in the world especially for jewelry then St Thomas. It never rained on us so we had to make time to run over the St Thomas to spend some money on new bracelets,cuff links and watches. However most of our time was spend laying on the beach soaking up some local color. The resort set up was great three restaurants, large pool steps away from the beach, gifty shop and food store on premises I was in heaven. On the first full day of the junket I Had a bit of a run in with one of our lovely co-beach goers, I set up my lounge chair, umbrella for my drink, towel, lotion and my small wireless speaker from my apple cell phone music. I put on some jimmy buffett and proceeded to get  into my zone. Well the nerve of some people! just as I was wasting away in Margaritaville some east coast uptight white lady asked me to use my ear phones so she didn't have to listen to my music. My music was bothering her. I told her I would turn it down, ooooooooooooooooh but nooooooooooo she wanted me to use my ear phones so she didn't have to hear ANY of it.

Are you kidding me lady! were on an island in the heart of the Caribbean and you don't want to hear Jimmy Buffett! I was out raged!!! I told her that yes i will turn it off and that I don't use ear Phones, they get in the way of my tanning and there uncomfortable to boot. 


So I say for the villas of St Johns "Stay loose, Stay tan and stay often" AND stay away for uptight white ladies form the east coast!

Happy Easter 2016



Happy Easter! Mama Hooters and I woke up this Easter morning and wanted to go to Bahama Breeze for Easter dinner however the closest one was in Orlando. So we looked to the east as the sun rose on this quiet reverent day and caught an 8 o'clock flight out of Ontario airport. 6 hours, 6 screaming babies and a plane full of ugly sweaty coughing people later we had the best Easter dinner ever. A couple mishaps in the Alamo garage held us up a bit at the airport ! a wrong turn down a one way and a very needed driver change we were finally on our way. Upon arrival at the restaurant we told the girl at the counter that we had just flown in from L.A. just to eat here. We hadn't even checked into a hotel yet we came straight from the airport. The wait time was 35 minutes however the hostess was so impressed she moved us to the front of the list and took us right in. Coconut crusted onion rings and buttermilk Caribbean chicken were  the bill of fair for this Easter dinner and it was Delicious even the Dr pepper had a good due on it. I give Bahama Breeze five lizard tails up! Yet another totally annihilating back to back family fun filled action packed adventure with the Lizard and Mama Hooters, a great trip and no one got hurt and no one got pregnant. From the house of lizard Ricky to yours "may all your days be suntanned and cash filled"
