We were told that islanders don't like to have mortgages so they build what they can and finish it when they can afford to. This was in Anguilla but probably the same on other islands.

There are water buckets out for the donkeys and people are encouraged to refill them. I think they are white with orange lettering. You can also donate through the ACC ( Animal Care Center of STJ ) to help feed them.

We bought an unfinished villa in 2011 and had a builder finish it. We come down 4-5 times a year now and plan to spend more time once our son is out of college. It has been more work and expense than we thought but arriving in STJ and going to your own home....priceless. That being said, getting som...

Only 23 days for me!

Great TR so far! Your pictures are amazing!

So you will be the only ones on island wearing hats and sunglasses? Lol. We will be there 5/20-24 though we aren't on the calendar. Me, DH, darling son and his girlfriend. We will be easy to spot because at least two of us will be wearing Rutgers hats/clothing ( son and gf go there ) and darling son...

I believe the Orbitz policy was to give you a refund if someone else books the same itinerary at a lower price. We did get $50 per ticket back a few years ago.
Good luck!

I booked 2 rooms at Hilton Garden Inn Queens/JFK airport. The 5 day park and fly rate inc. taxes was $277.78 for the night and the regular room was $198.59. There were quite a few hotels in a similar price range with decent reviews. I went with Hilton because I am in HHonors program. With 4 of us fl...

I just booked our AA flights on Tuesday and Priority seats were the only seats available except for 2 single seats on the flight down. I did pay the extra to select because there are 4 of us ( and we are very tall so the extra legroom is nice ) and my husband would have a fit if we weren't together ...

They posted the news on FB on April 1st. I was hoping it was a bad April Fool's joke. Bummer.

We are 2 hr 38 min. from JFK and our flight departs at 8am. My husband would prefer to use a car service but they would have to pick us up at 3am. I am certainly not willing to drive ourselves especially since we have never been to JFK before. The parking charge won't be terrible because we are only...

After ferrying over for a day trip on our honeymoon in 1989, we finally made it back with our boys in 2008. 2008 - Balance Villa in Fish Bay. Small but very nice. Great patio and pool! 2009 - Abrigado in VGE. Full AC which was nice in July. Nicely decorated mid sized villa with interior access bedro...

I am going to do some research tomorrow. I quickly looked the other day and the HI Express mentioned having parking and how it's an airport hotel but didn't mention any park and fly rates or how it works.

We are flying out of JFK for the first time. We are planning on staying in an airport hotel the night before. Any recommendations? How early should we arrive at the airport on a Wednesday morning? Probably not checking bags. This is a last minute trip in late May. Last minute because my darling son ...

I have only rented once Saturday to Saturday. The other 13 trips have not been and no one has ever had an issue. They either have a vehicle for your dates or they don't. We have rented twice from Sutton and it was fine. We have also used Varlack, Penn's, Cool Breeze and Lionel. All good. I place a p...
