Re: Help me name my new puppy

Oh, Coki is super cute - it is going on the list!
I like Miss Lucy, but have a friend named Lucy, that would just be too weird!

Re: Help me name my new puppy

Gibby is a cute nickname for Gibney! Gibney is my absolutely favorite place on the planet, my soul sings when we are there. Honestly, I could spend my entire vacation right there. My hubby has even offered to rent one the cottages there, but I refrain because if I pay that much for a villa, I think ...

Oh Jim, I have a granddaughter named Anna! Urchin did cross my mind, so did Sargent Major.

Re: Help me name my new puppy

I thought of Jumbie but aren't Jumbies sort of malevolent? It is a really sweet puppy.

Help me name my new puppy

She is a Yorkie-poo. All black with a small patch of white on her chest. Her mama is a Yorkie and her dad is a teacup poodle. She will be 5-6 lbs when grown. Was thinking of an island name - hubby likes Maho, I think it sounds too close to a-hole. I like Francis, he does not. We both like Gibney, bu...

Re: Villa search...Help

Yes Sherry the drive up to South Shore seems a little hairy the first couple of times. I think the road is entirely paved, if not entirely, then mostly. You will definitely need 4-wheel drive. Like most villas, it doesn't feel like a big deal by the third day or so. It sits high overlooking reef bay...

Re: Local lobster

I vote Lime Inn, lobster any night, you pick the size from what's left on the board. While you're there, Tyler the bartender out front makes an AMAZING Bushwhacker.

Hi Tyler, Rich, Chelsea and Jennifer! Miss you guys!

Re: Flight Prices Chicago or Milwaukee

Several years ago I scored two round-trip tickets from ORD for less than $500 total with Spirit. I think it was April or May. Had a short layover in Miami I think. Not a terrible experience like I hear others say; the Spirit gates in Miami were congested, restroom & restaurant lines were crazy l...

Re: What to do with a 8 am arrival time??

We've been able to drop our stuff at the villa while the cleaning was in progress. We were moving from one villa to another for a second week, called the mngmnt company, explained we had to vacate villa #1, had a few fridge and freezer items, would it be ok if we dropped this stuff off? We had previ...

My hubby always drops me and the luggage at the ferry dock; I get in line to purchase tickets; he returns the car to St John Car Rental and walks back, he usually arrives before I reach the window. :roll:
