Confit de canard - and super size me
For about the eightieth time today I am convinced I cannot eat another mouthful. And for about the eigthieth time today some unutterably discreet waiter in pristine whites has glided up behind me and placed a beautiful selection of artistic morslets in front of me, and somehow, albeit mechanically, I am eating them. There's something to do with foie gras, accented with ginger; there are lobster and daikon rolls on a black plate and piquant dipping sauces and grouper and tuna and quail and herbs from the garden outside. This food is epicurean, gastronautical, gourmet consumption on the grandest scale. I have eaten so many Michelin stars in the last 96 hours I've lost count. There have been food towers, layers, jus, crusts, purees, terrines, infusions, confits and enormous, American-style servings.
Caribbean: High or low season?
It's the middle of January, and heat-seeking bikini bombshells carpet the beach, bronzing the winter pallor from their pampered flesh. There's a special buzz in the air that grows louder as the beautiful people get amped for another night of seeing and being seen in the A-list spots. You're at ground zero of the Caribbean high season, and you wouldn't have it any other way.Same beach in mid-July. You decompress on the flawless stretch of white sand, mellowing to the shoosh of the waves. Tonight you'll splurge on dinner, happily blowing some of the money you saved by taking your trip in low season -- and you won't even need a reservation. Tomorrow, it's the summer sales at the boutiques, then a free snorkel excursion. You won't find these kinds of perks in winter. What's not to love?
Two distinct vacations, same great Caribbean getaway.
