Re: The Festivus Thread

It's been 2 years but we're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! If you're new around these parts, go read the whole thread. I can wait... Well. Shock of shocks, I'm in trouble again. What did I do now? I can explain. I'm in trouble for not doing things. That's understandable because they were important family-ty...

Re: Trip report...of sorts

You know that ussn's are smitten with y'all, but you nailed this report in so many ways and, essentially, reflected EXACTLY how we feel lately. I don't know that I want to go back but I also don't know that I don't want to go back for some of the silly things...like our shared friends down there.

Just wait, my pretties. The 2012 edition is coming as soon as I sober up. Or, as I call it, "The year when my father and I saw eye to eye"

Re: WHERE is EVERYONE?

It's funny how Pete mentioned other vacation locations. We just "missed out" on our even-numbered year trip and I'll say that I didn't miss St John. too much hassle for us...to say nothing of the expense. I just am not interested in reading about a place I don't intend to visit for a while...

I guess so...the water is nice down here compared to NJ. A lot warmer earlier and later. Still a hell of a drive. I just loathe long car trips...I lack the patience for them

I agree the outer banks is beautiful and if you like a long drive go for it. I will not waste a day traveling anymore unless it is to STJ. Being from MD, OC has lots to offer with a shorter ride. I assume the timeshare is in OC, otherwise my choice has always been Bethany Beach..smaller more of a f...

I had to laugh at this, BUT. Pip, what the heck are you doing telling the folks about EI? The OBX is just a perfect place for tourists! It really is! Tons of other people that love to be loud, and act like...well, tourists. MahoJim, enjoy your trip! The OBX is no Maho or Love City, but it sure beat...

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 not...

Backpack coolers

Anyone got any suggestions?

I'd like to get a Polar Bear...we have their ginormous cooler, but only if I can find another of those sweet 50% off coupons!

Any other suggestions of brands in the $30-$40 range?

Thanks!

Nearly every high end hotel on remote beach locations has its own reverse osmosis plant. Even if they have tap water available, folks are usually nervous about drinking from it. All they need to do is run a line out to sea to draw in the water. Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_osmosis It ...

OK...you can stomach the costs to build it. Where does the water come from? Is the Westin on "city water" (As it is). Caneel has a huge retention basin to collect water, right? Haven't I seen it hiding in the jungle somewhere near the property? I assume Maho by Marriott would need somethin...
