Does Bezos give you a commission or do you have a stake in the company that makes those things? I love the towel clip logic... except my wife already bought towel clips a while back... then her mom bought an 8-pack of the towel rubber bands on Amazon and gave us 2 of them. We're a bit vintage about lounging... we only use the Solarium (it's actually for shade, we're used to the smalls, the sun hates me). On CocoCay or when we go to an AI beach club in Cozumel there's always a little table. I'll likely wind up passing but I agree that they're totally useful for the stuff you mentioned. asquared17 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacation Crazy Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 I'm enjoying your blog but now you got me looking at cup clips. They are sitting in my Amazon cart.

Ampurp85 Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Biscuits and grapefruits are a great breakfast or second/third breakfast. I hardly ever sit by the pool, it's not my jam, but if those clips were wide enough to clip to the casino machines, I would be all over them. Some machines have spaces for your drinks, and some don't. You know my feelings on Labadee, but I hope it is sunny and warm for you. I chuckled at J saying you could sell the clips, that would be at least one more 50lb bag you would have to carry aboard. jbrinkm, ScottD, Cactus527 and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Va4fam Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 @asquared17 wins the internet this week with the Cup Clip. Didn't even know something like that existed but definitely obsessed with getting one for every member of the family! Quick question...are they strong enough to hold cocktail drinks from the bar or big enough to hold the Freestyle cups ? Hope you feel better....maybe the sun will help. asquared17, WAAAYTOOO and Neesa 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, of course I'm not the standard dictionary definition of poor (used as an adjective). However, the live blog community here seems to have its own lexicon... and given that I sail in interiors, purchase very little specialty dining, don't spend a penny at CocoCay (besides tipping for voucher drinks), etc...
