Lady HotchKiss Says

So the drive from ATL is long and boring; make sure you are traveling with people you like!

We spent some time in the marketplace in town; was nice, if uneventful. Then we went to the strip along the water . . . really, not that interesting, hard to navigate, shops are mostly t-shirts – candy – a mediocre food. Was VERY disappointed with the cigar shop . . . NO humidor for their cigars, selection MUCH less than I can find within 3 miles of My house. We stopped in to Tapas by Anna hungry, dehydrated and hot. Thought we would get A LITTLE something to tide us over until we could get a real meal. Service was lacking; but food was good enough that we decided to stay for dinner. The stuffed shrimp, fried zucchini, stuff mushrooms, house salad (uninteresting, but FRESH with a tortilla bowl), and she crab soup were all great. Perhaps not traditional tapas, but small portions . . . and more like something a GREAT home cook would make than a fancy chef. Overall . . . VERY good.

If you are following Me on Twitter you know the problems we are having with the Days Inn on Jekyll . . . the issues keep mounting; really it is quite astounding. Hope to have something better to report when the vacation is over!

Went out looking to buy a cigar earlier today on St. Simon. The shop was CLOSED . . . neither the advertisement nor the shop door had hours . . . the voicemail does! The message is so long and convoluted that I am STILL not clear on the hours! If you care it is the Cigar Guy. SOOOOO glad that we brought our own cigars. The Zino Platinum from the other night was smooth, relaxing, light, and one of My favorite cigars so far. Of course, in finding the link I found out the cigar is for “the hip, urban pop culture of today and tomorrow”; which makes Me like it LESS! I think My next cigar lasting will be a maduro or heavier tobacco; more full-bodied. Still haven’t sampled enough to have found THE ONE.
