Thats a good idea ..... Problem with Costa Rica at least is nothing EVER seems to dry ! Good tip though ! Faith

I'm *with* you Saharabee...I also have a year on the plus side of you :-) !

Although I might be able to get down on that towel in the sand...getting UP is another matter ;-) And although there might be men willing to help the young, lithe women, those of us past a certain age, are left to our own devices :-) !

Faith, bless your heart, enjoy while you can :-) !

I will Marion ! The days a comin though !Smiles .... Faith.

Great thread! Unfortunately, I have to depart it now as we leave in about 6 hours for the airport and a painful 2 weeks of fighting folks for beach loungers in the BVIs! oh... woe is us....!!

kisses to eveyone, especially Marion (whom I will be thinking of every time some guy passes me by as I'm struggling to get out of the sand - lol!)

actually vivvi if you checked into a private villa rental you'd have your own chair by your own pool for less than a resort in most cases. Things you will lack are all the resort amenites, onsite restaurants, bars, room service, other services. It depends on what is important to you, if lounge by pool rent a villa if full resort services then get up 3 put your book there then go back to sleep....unreal people even have to deal with that....never have I.
