Ok Corral was better than I expected. We had ribs and fajitas which were very good and enjoyed the nice view of the beach. After that Meg got some ice cream and we spent a little time at the casino. When I read online that the first casino in town was the largest in Antigua I found that funny because it wasn't really that big. This one was reallllllllly small. I wanted to play blackjack but didn't really feel like it and the one table open was pretty full and I didn't want to play without Meg playing. She was more into the video poker.
After the casino we relaxed in the room, had some champagne and that was pretty much it.
Today ate some breakfast (exciting) and picked up some pictures and waited around for our 1:30 airport shuttle. Customs going out wasn't as bad as coming in but still no thrill. Flight was fine but the customs in Miami were terrible. We had to go through a bunch of stations which weren't clearly marked and eventually had to re check our bags and go through security all over again. It took at least an hour up to an hour and a half. I couldn't keep track but it was bad. I'm glad had a lot of time to waste between flights.
One thing that frustrated us was when we were at customs they checked some of the stuff that we brought back. We bought two bowls made of palm leaves (I think?) and they were investigating if we were allowed to bring them back. After ten minutes or so one of the guys threw them in the garbage and said that we couldn't keep them because there might be these certain bugs on them that we can't bring back into the country. Meg saw someone else who was also at Sandals who had a hat made out of the same material so she was pretty upset, understandably. We pointed that out and another guy came up and said that it was fine that we kept them so luckily we were able to bring them home. It would have really sucked if that second guy didn't come up and tell us because we would have gone insane.
Fight home was tough because it was so late and it was hard to sleep sitting straight up. Home now since about 1 or so.
We really enjoyed the trip. At first I thought it would be weird just having couples there but I really liked not having kids all around after a while. It was also nice having it all inclusive so we didn't have to pay for any meals or drinks. I would definitely go to another Sandals resort in the future and hopefully soon. I'm not looking forward to getting back into the normal routine and I know Meg isn't either.
Also wanted to add that I have probably about 10 mosquito bites all over right now because I think there were a few in our room each night and Meg barely has any. :(
Bed time probably and I'll really try to post some pictures tomorrow.
