Rare h20skibum Posted March 17, 2021 #10801 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Had to stop at Murphy’s Irish pub on the way back from the beach. First time I have been drinking in a bar before noon, in a long time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani negreanu Posted March 17, 2021 Author #10805 Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) So this was my morning [funny] birthday celebration.... My BFF pulled some strings and we got a terrace table in a very coveted restaurant (for the prime location right on the beach, as well as the excellent food and service). We've never been there, and, very excited, my DH timed our travel time + 15 min to be on the safe side. We're both very punctual people. We made good time, and the WAZE said: "'you've reached your destination". We saw a nice restaurant with a big terrace, and assumed that's the one... The WAZE itself said so.... Since we arrived early, DH said: "I'll take some pics for 'your' thread", while taking notice that the big terrace was empty. He says: "I really don't know why Miriam [my friend] made such a fuss of 'snagging' a table for us.... there are plenty of seats...". I left him to "his pictures" and went in search of the entrance to the restaurant. A young girl came and I said: "we have reservations for 4, 10.45am". She looked at me strangely and replied: "but we open only at noon....". WHAT?? I ask: "that's not 'Manta Rey' "? "No, that's 5 min in the other direction..." Off we went....arriving early, only to find ourselves being late.... Luckily, our friends were also late, so all was good. After the breakfast [which was excellent], we walked nearby, to Old Jaffa, to soak up the sun and the quirky atmosphere. Some pics from this wonderful day. Many thanks again to all of you for your birthday wishes. They made me very happy, and I really appreciate every one of them.

Never had these issues until last few months. M8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted March 17, 2021 #10808 Share Posted March 17, 2021 16 hours ago, IRMO12HD said: Oh, you're coming to my neck of the woods! Lake Chelan is wonderful -- will you be renting a car? You'll have just missed the crush season, but will have lots of choices :-). We have been there 8 times. Mostly staying at Wapato Point, but have stayed at Lake Chelan shores as well (and in fact were there one year of the really bad fires). Yes, renting a car as usual. However, we have found it much easier to fly into, rent a car, and do the drive from Spokane instead of the craziness of Seattle, which we are doing this time again. This last time we took the very last journey on the larger boat, The Lady of the Lake, up to Stehekin. What a lovely time. Brought some wine and a picnic lunch that we enjoyed at a picnic area on the lakeshore up there. Yeah, timing was bad for this one...even my favorite winery, (Nefarious) will be closed. But there will still be some open. Bundle up time, luckily full fireplace in the condo, and they supply all the firewood for free. 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had these issues until last few months. M8 Yes, it was, and like you said, we never went wrong with it before. It even has the name of the restaurant built-in (without punching in the street + #), so, even for a moment, we didn't doubt we're not in the "right" restaurant.... BTW, when we finished and walked by the "wrong" restaurant again, the terrace was full 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a couple fresh pictures I really like this circular bar that opens to the patio overlooking the pool. I might have to look for a bartender to go with it. Me me me - Can I be your bartender. I think I would be allowed to travel for work. Does a qualification as a speech pathologist count as experience as a bar tender? I sometimes have to make drinks for children. I need to find a way to travel. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
