Last time I was in KW, I dove the Vandenberg. It was a cool dive.

I'm guessing he was drunk last night when he started this and doesn't really want to travel anywhere this weekend.

If I sit at home drinking by myself and want to go somewhere else to sit and drink by myself, might as well be somewhere warm and come with service to bring me said drinks.

I'll watch for black sedans with tinted windows while you pack. How many are you expecting and will they be armed?

I'm surprised no one has suggested this location: **** Yourself.

I get told to go there all the time. Can't find it on a map though.

Flip into St. Thomas, USVI's and then from the town there Roadtown? get a ride across the channel to Peter Island, nice motel/gaming, beach, boating, fishing, sailing, 4 decades ago the ex and I took a the hotel's sailboat across Drake Channel to Roadtown harbor, they went all freaky looking for us, as no one had ever taken their boat across the channel, it was a easy trip both ways.....picked up lunch, sailed back and when the boat showed on the horizon into the hotel harbor, the all happy as shit.....they search the entire island and no boat.....thought it sank.....no, we just knew how to SAIL.......

Somewhat buzzed last night, same as right now and I really need to get out of here.
Just got home from work to check this thread.

I spent a few minutes at work today checking resorts and they all seem the same including the Ritz.

A hundred loud noisy chairs lined up across a beach and pool
Doesn’t seem like much of an upgrade from Motel-6.

Sorry if I sound like a douche but I need peace and quiet on a beach without hearing someone else’s loud obnoxious conversation.

Maybe I should check myself into an insane asylum.

There are some retirees who actively use the Space A, Space Available, US Military flights. They sign up and then just ask what's the first flight they can get on. It doesn't matter where the flight is going, the dudes want on it.

So my suggestion to you, drop on down to the airport with a hand carry filled with a just a few things, whip out the ole credit card, smile, and book the first flight you can get on. Who knows, you just might enjoy where it lands.

*Side note

Then there are the two dudes who really are into traveling. They got into a full on fist fight over where a plane was going. That made the day interesting, at least.

You want a five star resort, with no people, on a nice beach. Yeah, good luck with that.

So what do you want?
Peaceful and quiet on the beach or a resort experience?
There are a ton of small hotels or VRBO rentals where you can have the quiet and peace you say you want. Or is the “5 star” experience what you want?
Not sure they are mutually exclusive but the overlap is very slim.
