Re: Most Overrated / Most Underrated

Agree with bebackinaminute.... Sogos is one of our favorites-- a diamond in the rough. Where is Coral Bay Caribbean Oasis??? Must be new since the last time I was there. It sounds perfect for our first week, when there will only be 2 of us, and I DON'T want to spend my time cooking. 5 days to go. Wh...

One last comment to add. Jumbiegirl, I think you and I have a common situation. My sun-sensitivity is completely correlated to cumulative sun exposure. No amount of sunscreen, benadryl, cream, antihistamine, etc. etc. touches it. By about day 3 of sustained exposure, it's serious rash, hives, eventu...

Thanks Graysondave. We figured that a stopover in ATL had better odds than risking the east coast in January. Then, after we heard about the snow down there, we were beginning to wonder. But.... looks like we made the right choice. Glad to hear that the temperatures are warm, and we can leave the wi...

Beach Bar on 1/30?

So... according to the calendar, not too many forumites on island this weekend. Looks like Inner Visions is playing at the BB on Sunday (after the Reggae fest on Saturday). Anyone going to be at the BB on Sunday? Leaving tonight for Atlanta, then to STJ tomorrow morning. Mostly packed. SO ready. But...

Has anyone tried the Kayak tour that goes out of Coral Bay and has snorkel stops including the Mangroves? Sounds interesting to me. How difficult (ie. can an old broad do it?) is the Kayaking across the bay? Can't remember the name of the company. EcoTours?????

Checked the VINP regulations:

36 CFR Section 2.13 Fires

52. Fires may only be built in NPS provided grills or in portable grills designed to contain combustible material. Ground fires are prohibited.


So, open beach fires not allowed in the park.
