Thanks, JMS. we will be on the ground in 37 hours and headed for the HLH bar as soon as they will answer their door buzzer.
Speaking of that buzzer, I will never forget my first trip to that establishment -- then the ZB -- about 7 years back. It was my 2d trip and we had been rafting with some fellas from the Sunshine State who knew the ropes. They recommended it. We all agreed to meet up at ZB later that day We were at the DR and the hotel driver, a seemingly friendly bearded black guy in his 40's or 50's, must have smelled the newb on us. Sure, he told us, he knew where it was and would drive us, but as soon as we got in the van, he kept pushing us to go to the NF. He told us that the policia had shut down the ZB. One of my wingmen had been to NF earlier and was underwhelmed We insisted that the driver take us to ZB anyway. He was persistent He pulled outside and even went to the gated door, pulled on it and said "see. It's closed.". He then took us to NF and waited for us to select from the sorry saggy set of slouches on the couches and left no doubt with the generous propina he got for scamming us.
We met up with our Florida friends that night and when we told them our story, they had a good laugh and told us about the door buzzer. An import detail they omitted earlier. Sonwe kicked the stuffing out them, and then we had a good laugh
Okay, that part about their stuffing is not true. But after I found out about the buzzer, we've been back many many times, and I can't recall ever having anything less than a top notch time there. Everyone says that it is even better now. I am really looking forward to finding out how.
And I will never forget that buzzer and I always mention it when I recommend tge place to a newb.
Anyway, I will never forget that buzzer and always mention it to a newb when I send them over to the place.
