last day before holidays

8 September 2011

i have one day to go, and all of a sudden feel an urge to be at the beach and pool… i know i won’t have my sea + sun + sand for the next couple of weeks.

i am taking the day for myself, starting with a power walk by the beach close to home, followed by mani and pedi and then lunch at my friend’s place. in the afternoon i plan to relax by the pool.

and packing? at night! i know, i know…i have enough time to pack and plan properly – somehow i seem to be more “inspired for packing” last minute and on the night before.

we always love going to da conch shack, its the perfect spot to take our guests for a meal and it truly gives you a caribbean feeling, right on the beach with the perfect view.

plus, the food is amazing, you can eat everything conch; stew, curry, fritters, cracked and salad. i love the cracked conch for starter and the blackened snapper, locally caught snapper with a delicious spicy seasoning – and the fried plantains…so yummy!

go here for other restaurant suggestions in provo.
