Pierce Brosnon was supposed to be there but apparently he never showed up. Trust me I scooped the place pretty good for him. We actually saw him last week walking through Hanalei with his wife and kids. I was crossing the street and he pulled right in front of me then parked, so I had to run back a...

I just bought The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. Not sure if those have been mentioned here but they have gotten great reviews. Also World War Z: An oral history of the zombie war, by Max Brooks. I have heard really good things about this one. I will check back once I am finished...

We were just there in April with a cooler. They didn't open it but they asked us what we had in it. We didn't take our meat with us because when I looked into this I was under the impression that you couldn't bring meat ONTO the island. Have you looked into that specifically? I think that form is if...

My husband is in private equity. His job is to invest in companies. His specific job is to analyze those companies to see if they are a good investment and to follow and analyze the market. I think he is good at what he does and is very smart with our money when it comes to investing. (he thinks he ...

I do have to say that as tourists, we should not tell residents of the island that they are turning a blind eye or ignoring the problem. We visit for a week or two at a time, they live it every day and how they choose to address the issues in their community is not for us to judge. It is my experie...

I know I am a "new" member but I really want to chime in on this. I agree with XOXO totally on all this. We just had our first trip to STJ back in April and this is one of the things that was bothering us about STJ. I decided not to post a trip report because I felt like I wouldn't really ...

So was it a swim with dolphins excursion and you never saw the dolphins? I am looking into doing this as well but would hate to be disappointed. And ewwwwww! Was the water really rough with the boat swaying a lot?

I took my first trip to Maui in 2004 then followed it up with Kauai in 2007. We just had our first trip to St. John and VG in April and now we are heading back to Maui and Kauai next month. They really have a different vibe for sure. I love the Hawaiian people and the food is amazing. There are thin...

Oh Oh! I have somehow missed this thread. So much fun! I think most of you will know where this is from. I always think this is a cool picture. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m176/Ellebiba/Europe20092119.jpg [/img] I haven't seen anything from Germany yet, so here you go. Rothenberg. http://i104...

So funny! I was coming here to ask everyone if they could pick one place to travel to besides STJ where would it be and I found this topic. Thanks! In the states we really loved Carmel which is very close to Monterey, CA. Such a quaint little town with lots of galleries and outdoor cafes. We really ...

We just got back from a week on VG following 2 weeks on STJ. VG was by far my favorite. They both have their perks but if I had to choose one it would be VG for me. There is a real sense of community there. Everyone was extremely friendly. The food was amazing! The beaches, the boulders, the views. ...

Ugh!! I have followed this show religiously since the very first episode. I moderate a forum dedicated to all things LOST. I had a huge party with some of my friends over and we all got a chance to talk and then theorize more today. The finale was great but there is a huge sticking point with me. Da...

Better late then never!!! We just got back about 5 days ago and I had some friends in town so this is my first chance to check in. Sorry I didnt get back to you guys. We left that day and drove around on the North Shore and took pics and then went to the Annaberg ruins. It was our last day so I want...

Thank you Liamsaunt, I am not in pain, just really itchy at this point. We leave tomorrow to go to VG for one more week then home. I just want to be able to get it under control. I didn't know they could get infected, I guess that is why they say to not scratch? I did take a Benadryl so we will see ...

I didn't know Benadryl made a gel! I hope I can find some of that here. This feels almost as bas as some of my worst poison ivy. I cant believe I left the Off in the car! lol
