Received this note from Tracy Root today:
Karen and I got married in Megans Bay, St. Thomas on December 31st, just the two of us on the beach, passing up an offer from Jimmy Buffett to get married on his yacht or plane by himself personnaly. Karen is working at Mangrove Cafe, and I’m am working at Prestons Steak House, which has the finest meats I have ever served. Very small, quaint, and limited to 50 dinners or so a night. Cioppino’s will open around May 6th ish.

If you get to Naples this winter, look them up.

Mobil Travel Guide 50th Annual Star Awards are out. The Wauwinet has won 4 stars, the same also awarded to the Charlotte Inn in Edgartown, as well as the Taj Boston, The Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common, and XV Beacon, all in Boston. Some of the highlights of the review:

“Sense of New England and its history is all around, including sprawling silver-shingled cottages and inn, and sea gulls overhead. Inn’s restaurant, Toppers, prepares creative New England cuisine. Perfect spot for the outdoorsy set, with biking, kayaking, sailing, beachcombing, and more. Romance abounds, with massages by the sea and wonderful water views.”
