Yes, I think that's who I was thinking of! Thanks, Julie.

I thought I read on On St. John that there was a Mac repair place on island somewhere. Maybe if you get desperate.

Why don't you just call Ivan's and ask them what they'd recommend?

How did the frosting turn out. I know it looked delicious on FB, but I want to know what recipe you decided to go with.

Just make sure that you take the money out of your passport before you check in at customs. In most countries, having money in your passport is considered bribing a border guard. I know that's how Americans get into Cuba without incident.

I wouldn't rent from one of those online travel web sites because most of them don't let you know what car rental company you are getting until you book. And a lot of them will hook you up with Hertz, and if you rent from Hertz you can't take your car over to St. John. So, if you don't know what com...

I gave up on all those crappy, half-read books and started to read "Big Russ and Me" by Tim Russert. I have been meaning to read it for years but hadn't gotten around to it, and I found it at McKay's for 75 cents. Excellent book. He was an amazing journalist. But we all knew that, didn't we?

You guys are totally going to make me into a cooler person.

We'll see, but it just seems to make sense. I know it's nuts, but I love to cook and the kitchen (especially when it has a great view) is my "happy place," so I would rather cook than go out any day of the week.

Thanks, Julie. I'm feeling a little "homesick" now.

I'm kind of glad I stumbled on this thread. I haven't seen him for a while, and I kind of miss him. Thanks for sharing.

I always leave my bags in the cab too. I haven't been too frightened by the price, but it's not as good as the visitor's center.

Next time...

Welcome, LittleMermaid. This is a fun place with great folks.

But the bathroom at Skinny Legs still smells.

Not from Philly, but my traveling companion Chris is and was at the last forum gathering. She's really busy with school, so I will alert her to this thread. And mostly, I just wanted to jump in because I think the only other person on this forum from Nashville is my friend, so the only time I get to...

Pip, you look great. I knew you said you had been losing weight, but I barely recognized you compared to previous pictures. Good job! Ruth and Schmuppie look like they hit it off. Sounds like your little girl is enjoying paradise. Can't wait for the full report! I'm sure it'll be a doozie. :D I reco...

I never would've gotten that. Regardless, I am glad they don't drink. The iguanas, on the other hand, can not be trusted with my fruity rum beverages.
