Re: 2 hours in Charlotte Amalie
Another thumbs up on Gladys Cafe. We are looking forward to a stop there on the way back in April as our flight departs after 4pm.

Re: Trip Report Jan 6-Jan 22 - It's better in the VIs
Nice! thanks for sharing. We may have to look at the "Spanish Virgin". How would you characterize the main town? Does it have any charm, and enough fun bars and decent eats? Comparable to any towns in the USVIs/BVIs? And any impressions about accommodations and getting about for landlubber...

Re: Back to St. John?
Haha Becky does this mean that next time we go we should try to roll like you guys usually do which includes making some great meals in a comfortable villa with killer views? I might be up for that, but it would be a tough sell with the girls...

Re: Arrived Today 10/11- Rip Tide Warning - What Beaches to
If you’re not use to dealing with it, even a 3 foot surf break in knee deep water can knock the crap out of you. And, it’s more likely they are actually warning of a rip current, not a rip tide. http://www.surfertoday.com/surfing/11282-the-differences-between-rip-currents-undertows-and-rip-tides A r...

Re: photo and camera tips

Know how to shut it off. - get better at shooting at arms length to help get closer - pan moving critters - shoot at angles other than down - use a large me...

Re: Two more weeks in paradise, final
Nice! Thanks.
That cracked conch at Lime Inn looked particularly good to me!
And fav photo of many great pix was the head on shot of the green turtle with front legs down - cool!
