Looking for a pic of soggy dollars hanging on the line

It's one pic we failed to take on our trip, and my wife is sad because she wanted to scrapbook it. Anybody got one?

We stayed at Grande Bay for a couple of nights recently, but not that particular unit. The place is nice and they're all new, so that unit is probably just fine. The convenience of walking to the restaurants and bars was great....we actually had two very different experiences on our vacation since w...

I'm thinking you won't find a place that sleeps exactly 17. That being the case, I volunteer to fill the empty spot you're sure to have. I'm real quiet. You won't even notice I'm there.

Wife and I thought we had it all figured out - then the spray bottles of suntan lotion tripped us up. Ended up having to check the bag anyway because we had multiple bottles of lotion that we would either have to throw away or mail back home and then rebuy at a higher price on St. John. And whatever...

My wife and I used Palm Tree Charters a couple of weeks ago. Had an absolutely fabulous time. He posts here as Captain John. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Do a detailed estimate...figure out how many times you'll go out to dinner, how many drinks you'll want out, how much you'd like to spend on souvenirs, rental car, etc. Then triple it.

Seriously, most places take credit cards but some don't take AMEX. So be prepared with more than one option.

Used my daughter's first generation flip recently. I will link some clips when I get around to uploading them. I really wanted to buy the underwater housing, but I went to amazon and read some reviews that scared me as far as being 100% watertight. That new one from kodak may be my father's day pres...

Just took it from Cruz Bay to Salt Pond last Saturday. We were dropped off just past 4PM and the driver told us to pick it back up in 2 hours. They were right on time. Best deal on the island.

Bongo bongo looks great. I just read thru their blog on the building experience for the first time the other day and it does make me want to stay there. (If you didn't read it you should. Good stuff in there). And I love what they did with the colors and the layout of the whole place. My vacation is...

Underwater

I am a novice AT BEST on this stuff. I have used the disposables before, and was disappointed. I might get one decent shot from an entire roll. My daughter went to the Cayman Islands last fall, and before she went I bought her a $99 digital underwater camera at Walmart. Don't remember the brand offh...
