  1. Seeing video of Wilber Jackson in the wishbone wearing #80 is funny. Came to Alabama as a WR. Kept his #, moved to the backfield and was an All-American. First black scholarship player at Alabama in the early 70s.
  2. Topped out at 843 MPH. There's insanity and then there was this.
  3. I didn't think Gordo played golf. Much, if at all. Could have chosen a better way to spend his 3-week vacation.
  4. Your recommendations never fail. We ate at Agua Azul twice on our last trip. Have to get there early in the evening to secure a table for the views / by the windows but it's well worth it. Mangata off the beaten path but really good and, as you say, a different twist. Cafe Milagro doesn't have the view but the little garden dining area is really nice and the coffee is great and the food is so fresh. Always appreciate your insights.
  5. The people are especially friendly and there's so much to see and do. We started going every November and don't see that changing. People I know / family ask about tropical vacation ideas and their focus will lean toward Hawaii, Mexico or the Caribbean (USVI, BVI, wherever). I've been to those places but I'd still opt for Costa.
  6. Yep, we liked this place as well.
  7. Inexcusable amount of upcharge for just the one mirror on the ceiling.
  8. Yeah, all credit on that front. Definitely stepped up for the cause.
  9. I loved watching the bald eaglets in Big Bear. This too:
  10. Geldof (par.): "I was at home at 6 one weekend night, which is never good if you're in the rock and roll business. I saw a piece on the news about the famine. My wife tried to watch but she could not watch much of it. She did put a bowl on the table and said that everyone who came into the house going forward would have to put some change in the bowl for the cause. I thought to myself that we could do something bigger."
  11. You will get your share of the pool and beach at Ixchel. Great location and access. The clubs are primarily there for people without direct access to a good beach and / or the desire for chairs, beds, umbrellas, towels, food. We stayed on the far south end of the island with just an okay beach so the clubs helped. All of the beaches in Isla are public but the clubs provide for all of the amenities without you having to deal with anything, except a cost. Most all of them cater to families. With a couple of teenagers and for a change of pace Kin Ha may be up your alley - rope swing, kayaks, snorkeling (although that may not be up your alley). Our teens had a good time there. https://kinhaislamujeres.com/ As other posters note, get a cart for at least a day to explore. It's fun and a great way to get around the island. There really isn't a way to see the whale sharks unless you're up for the 3-hour (round trip) boat ride. And, even then, you still have to get in the water and swim with them to really see and get their full impact. Just want to reiterate the rooftop of the Secreto as a place to go see the sunset.
  12. Brown, Strong and Herman were a combination of embarrassment and / or comedic relief when in front of a microphone. Sarkisian is so polished, straightforward and authentic - absolutely outstanding in this capacity.
  13. That was bizarre, and beyond.
  14. Des Moines. But no Texas stops. Pretty intimate gathering in Palm Springs. I think that arena seats like 10K.
