Melia Sarria Hotel, Barcelona, Spain

This is, as has been our habit for the past two weeks, another fabulous hotel. But wait, you cannot believe the great elevators.

They are marked A,B,C,D and you walk over put in your floor number, then it clicks on the elevator you are to take. No guess work and no buttons to play with on the interior. I think it is fun to do. No one can see where you are going. Great security feature.

The rooms are very nice,modern, but arranged differently than any we have been in so far. We are here for 3 more days before we leave for France, and are delighted to find a series of drawers to empty our cases and live almost normally.

Breakfast is another delight for the eyes and your tummy so be prepared for all you see. We went shopping today, a little anyway, and will simply retire tonight in the comfort of our room. Tomorrow we will go down,  have a massage and I want a manicure before we head out again.

Silly guess, of course we would return. The Melia hotels are mighty awesome places to stay in.

Back To Bubba Gumps – Lahaina

On Saturday we returned to Bubba Gumps and I will tell you why. After parking the car and walking over to the restaurant, there was a few people in line before us. It only took about 10 minutes and we were seated right at the window side overlooking the water.

Our two servers  (one in training) were Joe, Sr. Server and Melody,( in training). These two were on top of everything….the mode of operation in the restaurant, drinks and food options. We ordered our drinks (you already know that one) and Don ordered the New Orleans shrimp dish with Jasmine rice and I ordered the crab stuffed large shrimp with Jasmine rice. Oh yeah, we started out with popcorn shrimp as the appetizer. Gotta love their popcorn shrimp.

Without saying, the food is ALWAYS great and then we ordered, to share, the infamous key lime pie. Thank goodness we shared as the portion is huge.

Two things we keep noticing are:

#1 – everyone works as a team. Each one seems to help the other out when needed and

#2 – the young manager has total and consistent control over the operation of the restaurant. He doesn’t look very old but he really knows his position.

Will we return? ABSOLUTELY!
