For me, it's like taking a kid to Disney World for the first time. They make it all new again. Glad to hear you two had a wonderful time! I second what Chip says about the steaks. I stuck to the filet mignon for a while, but now am completely in love with the ribeye. (Thanks for the new drug Kiliki.) On 2007-08-22 17:29, TraderPeg wrote: What's a good hotel nearby? Our regular place to stay is the Best Western just a half mile down the street (south). It has a good relaxed feel to it, the price is reasonable and they recently refurbished the rooms. The pool is in the center of the hotel and has nice private hedge-enclosed nooks to sit at and read the Sunday paper. Just stay away from the "tiki bar". Free internet. Free breakfast (and it's good). And best of all, it's an extremely short drive to the Mai-Kai. Or walk, if you're not too impaired from the Jet Pilots. You can always stay at the Yankee Clipper, but be prepared to pay much more for the close proximity to the beach.
