Jorge was pretty negative as is (also he was a brand new member) so don't take what he says seriously. I doub't he really carries weapons and cuts people up, he just wants to get a rise out of everyone. Enjoy the sun.

When I think of Craigslist I think of the Daily Show episode where Rob Riggle is waterboarding someone as part of his report, to study the effects. Jon Stewart asks where he found the volunteer. Reply: "Oh I just put an ad on craiglist for a used couch"

Thats the only flight I take. Its 4 hours and 10 minutes. I usually spend between 305 and 375 for the roundtrip ticket. Sometimes I mix it up and do a delta non-stop for the way back though, since it leaves later in the day from STT than the American ones. It is by far my flight of choice.

No matter what you are told, it is not customary to have sex with every local as part of "initiation". That was an old policy that has since been done away with. Legislation has even removed it completely from the legal requirements.

Yeah... I still tip now, because I know that extra money didn't contribute to extra salary to those who lug our bags. Good of you to distribute your anger though to the right place..?

While I can't guarantee your villa experience... as I've never heard of yours. Be assured that this is a GREAT decision as you will truly fall in love with this island. Just don't let hickups become turnoffs. Any trip can have some, but none will happen in a place as beautiful, wonderful, wonderous,...

So tell me more about the food at the Tap Room. Pulled Pork sandwich sounds good. Well, Tap Room just added food and they are only doing lunch items right now. They hired a real chef (his name is Devon) and he is using the beers that Tap Room brews to make different dishes. The mango ale goes into ...

My tool: my shoe (not sandal). I had looked around for a stick, but to no avail. So i just used the tip of my foot to do the writing, hence the varying width and depth of the sides of each letter. If jorge used his tool of choice we may not be able to even see the writing... it would be too wide and...

I like Beach Bar, stopping by with my nice young fiancee. I can't stand when the milfs hit on me, especially in front of her. You take them as easy game? you predator.

I have a new STJ flavor I want to replicate at home. Tap Room is doing food and one thing is the Tropical Mango (Beer) marinated BBQ Pulled Pork on a Roll....

SO GOOD.

Right now my fiancee and I are enjoying some fresh Mojitos I made (similar to the recipe of Waterfront Bistro).
