Yes, a pre-warning about Apocalypse Now is definitely in order. I can still remember how strange I felt after that movie, it was one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. And I didn't even serve in Vietnam. Also "Ohio" by CSN...I was a freshman in college as Kent St. happened, and t...

As you said, all good things must come to an end. But why your trip reports? I'm with Vicki, I've got to be more observant the next time I snorkel. And I always look forward to your experiences at Caneel, because one day I'm going to make the commitment and stay there. At least for the breakfast! Th...

John (jmq) for reminding me about the anniversary of the moon landing this year - which also reminded me about Woodstock, which occurred the same year. So here's the post... No. 100: 1969

Thanks John!

Great suggestions, everyone! A lot of these I have on my waiting list, but some are definite additions I hadn't thought of (or didn't know about, like the Clam Shack). Check the blog often, I'm sure you'll see some of these featured. And be sure to check on Saturday to see what was selected as No. 1...

We were there the first week of May, and had such a good experience early in the week that we went back. And had another great meal. I hated reading those bad reports, and I'm delighted that Pat is taking them seriously. Wish I could go back tonight!

On Friday, the Great American Things blog will have post number 100. And for some reason, I want it to be special, even though the actual numbers are irrelevant (it's not a ranking). Do you have a suggestion for number 100? If you haven't been to the blog lately, there are a lot of interesting new s...

Looking forward to what you all hear from Shipwreck. I'm planning to put a warning on the St. John Dining blog about them, but I'll hold up till I hear their response.

I'm not sure if you've exhausted your appeals with CSA or not. My experience is that most insurers of any stripe will decline a claim at first, hoping you'll just go away and they'll save money. They'll do this even if they know your claim is actually valid. Often, if you're persistent, you'll get t...

Great report, wonderful photos. Loved "WWVD." Thanks for the ideas to share on our next trip...

jmq, great report! Well written, beautiful photos, lots of personality. Great fun. Only, now I want a cup of coffee on the beach more than anything in the world...

Spectacular photos, and great restaurant reviews, too! Who could ask for more?

Great, great top 10 list! As Homer Simpson says, "It's funny because it's true."

Okay, here it is, back by popular demand. WE’RE SORRY, BY POPULAR DEMAND? THERE WAS NO DEMAND, AND IT’S NOT THAT POPULAR. I can dream, can’t I? So when we left off, it was time to report on Thursday of our week. It was another windy day, and the reason why it was windy every day finally occurred to ...

I like what I read about Barbados. The easternmost Caribbean island, it's British and has distinctively different coasts (calm on the Caribbean, rocky on the Atlantic). I want to stay in this house: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ObUfhbZPT2LAczfvBTEEPQ?authkey=Gv1sRgCMWmvP_4wLrSy...

Terrific pictures, good food porn, nice dining reviews, and...good spelling!
