This regulation reeks of corruption at first glance. If the vehicles I own were restricted to one town or county where I live in NC, how do you think that would work? This will come back to bite tourism, barge companies, and the STJ rental agencies in the long run with less visitors. As one person s...

Banana Deck for sure. They have a great menu for all types. Loved going there after church with a large group. Kids and adults loved it.

Stunning as usual!

One thing is for sure, you are asking all the right questions. I would be on the 8 AM barge leaving STJ to get to the airport and return the car, but you never know what can go wrong. Leaving earlier as a newbie would be wise. I never had a problem, but there can be 4-5 cruise ships in Charlotte Ama...

I think your questions have been addressed perfectly, but I would add a comment about your arrival time and how you get to Concordia. Arriving on STT at 5 would not be a problem if you were staying in or near Cruz Bay. Potentially, if you do not rent a car, you may have difficulty getting to Concord...

Where in NC? What beach, specifically? We avoid the Outer Banks proper to avoid all you Yankee Summbitches (7 years out of NJ allows me to say such things) and head a little farther south to Emerald Isle. But, Myrtle is Myrtle. It be what it be and it be tacky as hell. At the right time, there's no...

I have used http://tinypic.com/ with success. Just make sure you save the link to your picture somewhere, or else it is very likely you can't find it again. After you upload it, you are given several choices on how to link to it.

Pia, I send them a note with my final payment with almost all of that. I was told that all the greeters have to stop by the office to get the keys, so they are in Cruz Bay. I was less than thrilled but what can you do? Since we land at 1:30 and will likely have time before the ferry, I may just run...

Make lemonade. You're going to the most beautiful place on the planet. If you don't want your horrible flight, I would gladly use it. (Tongue slapping cheek now!)

X, can you not find the villa on Google maps and navigate yourself? Meet your greeter at Dolphin or Starfish? I lived above Lily's and avoided it unless it was necessary. I went to the Mini Mart more often. In general, the deli was sketchy, veggies can be too. BUT, sometimes if you hit it right, fre...

I am an Eastern NC native. We have one popular food theme and one not so well known favorite. Eastern NC BBQ is the subject of many BBQ tests. Many opinions about it and competing styles. Eastern NC BBQ has its roots back to early colonial days when slaves made it because it was an inexpensive meat ...

I do love eating at High Tide and Banana Deck, but do not forget Villa Roma!

I am heart broken for you ifloat. If there was a way to wrap our arms around you, we would. I pray that peace and comfort comes your way, so much you can't possibly understand it.

I have to say hoosierdaddy your post made me laugh. When I lived on STJ, my group of friends would always love it when someone returned stateside with Krispy Kreme! We never had fresh doughnuts on island. SO, even when we got one or two day old doughnuts, we were happy!

Some amazing pictures Augie. You hit the jackpot!
