How awful! I hope that beyond that and the major roundabout, that things remain relatively untouched.....I assume all the tried and true still carry, island blues, donkey diner, vies, and shipwreck are still relatively intact despite a ruff economy for all.....thx for anything that comes to mind, I ...

I'm not on STJ, but have travelled there enough to know it's got quite a few parallels to AXA in terms of resources. I would say from my experience, you can do anything you really have a passion to do, just go wtih enough knowledge that the rose colored glasses are completely off, and then you won't...

Gromit - that's a bummer, I've been quite succesful with it, granted I do reapply quite a bit, but its great for my skin with the natural oils. Always such a challenge with the bugs, I'll likely become more expert about the subject now living in this tropical climate -- I'll be sure to share any oth...

Of course, like them all, each very unique. But, if I really had to choose just one: Maho, there is magic beyond the obvious beauty there. Maybe Tourist Trap would consider making up batches of smoothies to randomly deliver to Salt Pond? I bet people would pay more than the norm for a cold smoothie ...

The mosquitos love me, too, so I'm always in search of what will work and not feel awful on my skin. I haven't tried Bens, I will definitely keep that one in mind as so many postive reviews. I have discovered a natural alternative: Buzz Away Usually only found in health food stores, its 5% citronell...

I love Athleta, and yes I agree they run true to size. I've discovered if you go through the effort of using any sites measurement guide/size chart, you can order exactly what you need...it does work, except for clothes at Vic Secret which seem to run microscopic in my experience...

Wouldn't the feral chicken business turn into the egg business? I guess that wouldn't be the most lucrative job, so when ready to wind down you could have one really big bbq on the beach....poor chickens.....

Any odd chance you could ship to Anguilla? I know I'd have to do customs, if this is even allowed here, but this could be interesting as my new landlord is from Italy (and travels back there quite a bit), so maybe they would enjoy as well...

Whether one chooses traditional or alternative healing, best advice I can ever give is: No 2 docs are created equal. Meaning in any specialty, there are good ones and not so good ones. Do your homework, ask questions, but most of all go with gut feelings and real, genuine results. Your mind can play...

It sounds like you have a group and might want something budget minded: I recall there is a Chevy's near there, tex-mex, the ingredients are so fresh it makes the simple very good. The Metreon is close, and I think they have a restaurant in addition to the food court. Or, more adventurous: try Caffe...

Thx so much for the additional info. I'm moving there for a job and have worked with my colleagues located there for some time, so I know they'll show me lots of the ropes there. But, I like to do my own research as well, and would like to have some knowledge base before I arrive... Anthony I would ...
