The pool is a hot tub. It does the trick.

Here's what the website says about the pool:

Soaking Pool

Hours: Daily, 8 a.m. 'til 11 p.m.
Hotel & Ruby's Spa guests only.

The soaking pool, set behind Ruby's Spa and open to hotel and spa guests only,  meanders and flows, providing hidden spots and tributaries for those in need of a quiet moment. The pool is filled with soft, buoyant water that's heated to a comfortable 102 degrees.



Lemme in!

104 degrees would be better. I like it hot.

Of course you like it hot, what else would you expect from a firefighter?

After driving all day and then drinking non-stop all the way to getting into the 102 degree "pool" I nearly passed out from the heat. Very relaxing though =)    Bring your water-wings!

That was fun! A big thank you to all those who organized and coordinated the drive and stops. We had a great time. On the way home we were reading out all the signs along the way.

Prior to the drive, Elizabeth was flipping me crap about washing Honu in the dark on Friday night. When we got home she said, "Are you going to wash the car now or wait until dark?

I'm so glad I made the trip and thankful that my sister came with me but also missed Larry. He's sorry that he didn't make it. The organizers did a great job planning and it was a very smooth and seamless drive. The Bingo game was challenging but entertaining.

Just wanted to say thanks again to Gordon & Dean and their significant others for the time & effort they put in to making this a great event. We're already looking forward to doing it again!

We had a great time meeting & getting to know everyone.

Late kudos to Gordon and Shelly and Dean and Belinda for having this idea in the first place and also for all the work they did.  Like the others, I hope we can do this trip again.
