Been there

On the cover of the latest Travel + Leisure magazine is a view of The Reefs - where we spent our honeymoon, back in the day. The Reefs is also on the cover of T+L's 2007 hotel book.

At one time, some of its owners were engaged in a long-run bit of litigation, which is a bit hard to follow. See Koehler v. The Bank of Bermuda, Ltd. No. M18-302, 1994 WL 48825 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 16, 1994) ("Koehler I"); Koehler v. The Bank of Bermuda, Ltd., 101 F.3d 863 (2d Cir. 1996) ("Koehler II"); Koehler v. Bank of Bermuda (New York) Ltd., 96 Civ. 7885, 1998 WL 557595 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 2, 1998) ("Koehler III"); Koehler v. Dodwell, 152 F.3d 304 (4th Cir. 1998) ("Koehler IV"); Koehler v. The Bank of Bermuda (New York) Ltd., 209 F.3d 130 (2d Cir. 2000) ("Koehler V"); Koehler v. The Bank of Bermuda, Ltd., No. M18-302, 2002 WL 519740 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 5, 2002) ("Koehler VI"); and Koehler v. The Bank of Bermuda, Ltd., No. M18-302, 2002 WL 1766444 (S.D.N.Y. July 31, 2002) ("Koehler VII").

The year before I got married, I lived at Mom and Dad's house, working for Judge Williams. People sometimes asked what did I do with all the money, having a salary for the first time and no expenses. And, the answer is I bought a wedding ring, made (only part of) a down payment on a house, paid for a week at The Reefs, and must have squandered the rest.

Steve,

That long running dispute you mentioned between the owners of The Reefs is far from over - the case is on appeal in New York Federal Appeals Court.
