Re: Sport fishing

I went out with Doubleheader Sport Fishing last April. There was another couple, which I met on this forum, myself and my son. We split the cost of the 1/2 day trip evenly. Too bad you were not going in April or we would join him. Half day trip is $600 plus tip. They keep most of the fish but they g...

Long Strange Trip Report Days 5&6

Day five found me at Hawksnest. This is my favorite beach on St John. It is so beautiful to look out at the water with all the boats and islands in view. Very nice snorkel around the reef in the center of the bay. I got hungry so I went over to Trunk and ate some lunch and just relaxed on the beach....

Long Strange Trip Report days 3&4

Not feeling well but just as well, the weather has been cloudy and showery. Made It over to the Tourist Trap for a lobster roll. Very good but very buggy and there was an awful stench going through Coral Bay. Not too many bugs in the Chocolate Hole area. Nice breezes but kind of overcast/hazy. Candi...

Long Strange Trip Report Days 1&2

Indeed a long strange trip. After a very nice Dead & Company concert at MSG in NYC, I headed back to my hotel, Westin Grand Central on 42nd between 2nd and 3rd aves. I knew this was a nice hotel and used some points for the stay. I was able to find someone who needed a miracle ticket who I met a...

Amen to that Lisa. As always dead to the core! I will try to do a trip report, or maybe brief daily updates.

Re: Any Deadheads???

Amazing indeed Lisa! And today I got to wake up at 5am to catch a flight to St Thomas. Listening to the tree frogs and having a rum drink on the deck. It is so nice on St John tonight. I will sleep well tonight. Kevin, they were handing out tickets on the street. Apparently it was a Robinhood event....

Re: Any Deadheads???

For me, it is about the music, not who's playing it. Mayer sounded good to me.

Any Deadheads???

So I won two tickets for the Dead & Co. Show 11/7 in NY at Madison Square Garden. I plan on going so I have an extra ticket. The tickets, as far as I understand will be sent to my phone so this would be a bit tricky logistically. I leave for St John early the next morning from JFK! Sorry, no ext...

Re: Belize?

I went to Belize about 10 years ago as well. I stayed in Placencia for three nights. We did a tour of the jungle/ruins and saw some cool wildlife like howler monkeys and toucans and colorful parrots. Then we went out to Ambergris for a week. We actually stayed on one of the outer atolls for a couple...
