Luckily, my recent visit to the same resort went quite differently.

I was glad to see one of the youngWhite Lotusguests enjoyed the morning outrigger canoe experience as I did.

Another scene was set in the romantic oceanfront Ferraros Bar E Ristorante.

Spago, where we had an excellent sunset dinner, made an appearance as well.

Ive looked forward to each new episode, a chance to revisit San Domenico Palace, at least vicariously.

I wonder what could possibly go wrong on a vacation in such a serene place.
