prices are almost as high as home in PA. Not worth carrying the extra
weight.
Now given that, we like the port very much for all other activities. Just
don't expect any great bargains.

There is a hop-on-hop-off bus that goes around the island. Some one in
our group took it and enjoyed it a lot. At the pier is a Margaritaville,
a pool and a beach. There is also a Margaritaville shop which I spent
too much money in.lol

seniors in their 90's who still go to market and cook a meal for a
family of 12 every day. The words "senior", and "older people" is being
redefined by such people. Without listing a
litany of limitations something needs to be included to indicate degree
of physical limitations rather than simply stating "we're seniors" or
"we're older people". Older no longer means limited or disabled. I'm
just seeking more clarity.

You are so right,older people are no longer as they used to say "put out
to pasture. We are both 80 and we still do our own shopping
driving, tending the garden,and mowing our lawns with a push mower,
And of course cruising a couple times a year.

well for mid-70s and she's healthy and still works. But walking is
limited and she wouldn't enjoy many (any) physically demanding
activities. She has a friend who is mid-80s and still out playing
tennis in hot AZ heat almost daily. It's relative but on average, I'm
guessing a fairly small percentage of the scuba-snorkelling crowd
finishes their posts with "and we're seniors".
I think we'll enjoy the shops and the hop-on-and-off bus. Even if I
don't find anything I want to haul back home, I like looking at the
stuff in the stores.
Still mowing with a push mower? Whew. I hope it's not a big yard. I
gave up on the push mower 20 years ago. But I'm basically a lazy
butt. :-) I do mow my big corner yard myself though.

Mountain Dogs. All make good pets and are willing to work as draft
animals. There are still some farm supply shops where you can get the
equivalent of a push mower. It's bigger and is pulled. Push mowers are
considered green, now. Add to that adopting two draft doggies from a
rescue shelter and you'll be way ahead of the neighbors. You'll be a
trend setter. It would be a good trend which also helps homeless draft
dogs.
Ok maybe for 3/4 acres the dogs and mowing contraption may be much.
Desperate Housewives can't be the only place where shirtless athletic
teen age boys will mow the lawn. Obtain one of these, have him use the
"green" mower. You can sit on the porch enjoying the lemonade and the
view. (It's not a crime to just look.) ;-)
