I love fried pickels. That may be a southern thing....not sure. I also love chicken fried steak with cream gravy and ketsup on top, but I haven't had that in many years. One more...I love fresh lemons with salt, but don't eat that either. Bad for the teeth. I don't think this is too weird, but I lov...

Casa Bueno is the most private villa I've ever seen and it's only about 10 min. from Francis. It's also lovely, with amazing views.

I've been gone a while. What was the final "straw" that got Sox booted? I know he was wildly unpopular, but I'll miss him. :(

Just had a 5 hour layover in SJ last week. It's nice enough. We got a great wrap and soup from a "healthy" cart in the AA wing. There is also a really nice shop that sells Clinique and Coach and expensive sunglasses. I didn't buy anything though. My daughter spent a few bucks while there, ...

I was on Treazzure about 6 years ago. It's a beautiful boat, Joe is a fun character, and also a good chef. He has (or had) a gas grill on the back of the boat and made a wonderful grilled chicken lunch. I'm not sure how many he can accomodate, but it's a large boat. He picked us up on STJ. I've also...

Heck yeah!! I learned to drive on my grandma's '56 Chevy. I don't think they even made automatic back then, did they? I drove my dad's "extra" car, his '60 Ford pickup, to school. No ac, no power anything. Then I thought I'd be cool and get this red '98 Audi 5 speed (I think that's the yea...

Since we want to keep it not too serious, I'd have to say I'm not sick of anything, and grateful for everything.

Now if we want to get down and dirty....I could give you a list....!

We can all just push our cars to work, or as much as I love horses, we can go back to pony express, but they might fart too much and pollute.

Once I'm in the air, I'm fine, but airports are a PITA for sure. I hate the whole experience of getting there so darn early, putting up with moron security people. (They are so bad in Houston.) Waiting at the gate for a flight that is almost never on time anymore, and then having that "fun"...

I've never found an island that interested me after I found STJ. You just changed my mind. I agree it's nice to mix things up. Great job!

What a lovely villa. I can see myself sitting in that lounge chair with a drink in hand and enjoying the views. I'm not sure you'll get that many more bookings for having a heated pool. Maybe, but I'm not sure. We'd all love it, but probably not too many really want to pay an extra 200. a week (or w...
