My husband and I have been offered the use of a time share in March 2009 at Bluebeards Castle. So far most of my research is showing me bad reviews, but most of those were written 2007 or earlier. We would be interested in anyone's experience at Bluebeards Casle. Thanks in advance for your comments!

I'm not sure what you mean by techni-ice. We were told by airport security that you can take 4 pounds of dry ice in your carry-on. If you are referring to any type of gel-pacs they are not allowed.

Happy Turkey Day from those of us in the frozen north. We just spent the evening downing pitcher after pitcher of painkillers and reliving out recent visit to paradise. Wish we were there!

Perhaps you could hire an older responsible adult to house sit. The kids probably won't like it but that's their problem...not yours. Then you can relax!

Hubby cooked a marinated beef briskit. Yum!!! He's not making it easy to lose the 8 pounds I gained when we were in STJ last month!

Last week four of us were preparing to hike the Annaburg trails. We parked our Jeep and took a few moments to get a drink from our thermos and apply bug spray. There was a man standing near the edge of the parking area staring into the woods in the direction of the trail. After a moment he got into ...

Our luggage was finally delivered Halloween nite at around 5:30. The soft sided cooler had been removed from my suitcase and transported separately from San Juan. The driver said it had been refrigerated at various times throughout the trip but since the clothing in my suitcase smelled fishy we figu...

A group of us (5) returned from STJ to Northern NY on Sunday, Oct 29th. It was a long day starting at around 7:30 am waiting for the car barge in Cruz. We arrived in Red Hook at around 9:00 am and made our way to K-Mart (for last minute booze pick-ups) and then to Charlotte Amalie where we were unab...

We've only been fortunate enough to go every other year. This will be our 3rd visit. Our dream is to move down there permanently. (It doesn't hurt to dream!)

39 Hours 'till heaven!!

I don't have the opportunity to air travel much so I was pleased to find this site that helped clarify what was allowed in my bags. I thought I'd pass it on...

We have only 18 days to go... I can hardly wait!

I packed 2 weeks ago (or should I say - overpacked). But that gives me a chance to think about what's in the suitcase and weed out everything I can do without!

Thanks, Kathy. I'll pass on the info to my friends!

We booked Inn Paradise near the end of October. Friends of ours are looking for a villa to rent near us (on Chocolate Hole). Must be at least 3 air conditioned bedrooms. Pool and hot tub preferred. Any suggestions?

There probably isn't any map that shows all villas in that area.

Ok, now let's solve the next problem...

It's been a while since I've flown. Are you generally allowed 1 carry-on and 1 checked piece of luggage? I guess I'll have to put my additional liquids (ie: leftover shampoo, sunscreen, etc.) in the box with the booze to bring home?
