Re: What to do about airfare

My mom and I are both having the same frustration with the high award issue with American. My mom is willing to take any time and dates as they are retired and she still cannot find the lower point tickets for Costa Rica and Mexico. I often buy our departure and returns seperately, never an issue or...

Re: Travel Time

We normally come in on an earlier flight, but Delta changed the times of the flights. Their new schedule would have given us a 40 minute layover in ATL. Can that be done? Sure it could. Could there be a problem that delays the first flight and makes us miss the second? Oh yeah. It happens all the t...

Re: Travel Time

We were delayed once and the villa greeter picked up our keys at St John Car Rental. We went down the next morning and completed the paper work. I would communicate through your villa rental company.

Re: First time traveling with an 18 month old!

We started taking our son at 4 months old. He is now 9 years old and has 15 trips under his belt so we have experienced every age range. I know I wrote extensively about the trip when he was 18 months old. I will go search for those posts. So much, if not all, of the success of this trip will depend...

Re: Early AM layover in San Juan???

Having spent the night in the SJU airport, yes, it is possible to stay inside the secure area. It was a miserable experience that I would never willingly repeat. Nothing was open so take your own food and drink. When we went through SJU in February, it was sort of a construction mess but a lot of th...

Re: Trip Report: Family Wedding Celebration

I am so pleased you liked the house. Diana sold me on it so I am glad to pay it forward.

I so enjoyed reading about the wedding. What a wonderful celebration for your family. I hope our son gets married on STJ and we can do something similar.

Re: Video of grouper going after lionfish held by diver

When we were on VG in February, an employee at the dive shop was telling us about how they are trying to train the eels to eat the lionfish. She said her "favorite" eels love lionfish but only dead, they won't eat the live ones yet.

Re: Thinking of visting Virgin Gorda

The cost difference would depend on the cost to fly to STT vs. EIS (Tortola) or VG. I can't offer any info on the ferry aside from the fact there is a direct from STT to VG ferry but it only runs two or three times a week. When I looked into that option, we could not make the combo of flights and fe...

Re: Thinking of visting Virgin Gorda

We have stayed on VG twice, 10 days each time. We rented houses in Mahoe Bay and love that location. Pros and Cons compared to STJ: Pros: Wide range of rentals close to sandy beaches, whether it is a short walk or a very short drive. Same quality of beaches as STJ. Great vibe with a predominate West...

Great cooking blog for STJ cooking/drinking ideas

I hope it is ok to post this. From time to time we talk about villa cooking (and drinking) ideas on this forum. I stumbled across this blog on another site - http://www.cruciancontessa.com/category/beverages/ It is written by the St. Croix woman and I think it has great island recipes. I can't wait ...

Re: Neat Sheet

I agree that a Parasheet is easier to pack and transport. Don't put them in the dryer. I still have a couple of old Neat Sheets at our cabin and the one thing that makes me hold onto them is the fact that they are waterproof, which is great when driving in wet clothing. I am going to check out that ...

Re: Fatty Crab

Going back to February 2014, we walked in twice during the week before President's week and it was almost empty both times.

While we enjoyed our meals, I think the menu as well as the small plates concept is very specific as people seem to either love it or hate it.
