Also, while you should always book early once your plans are set, don't always worry: I managed to book a brand new jeep w/ Cool Breeze for 7 days with about one hours worth of notice! I extended my stay impromptu in Jan, during high season, and never went without a rental. It can be done! It's the ...

Yes, I certainly have been using the preview button, otherwise, there would have been endless postings, that I'm sure everyone would have just loved: seeing nothing. Thx so much, I feel like a 'real' poster now.

Approaching STJ, feeling like I knew it already after prepping on this forum. Very cool feeling.

Thank You CG!! Had no idea I needed to add the .jpg to it, just assumed it was ready to go. Thanks again, much appreciated.

yes, tried that, and every conceivable variation, turning html off and on, turning bbc off and on, I'll keep toying with it here and there, maybe I'll stumble upon the solution somehow...

I saw it when it first came out on dvd and loved it. I found the music almost haunting, in a good way, it stayed with me for quite awhile. How perfect that they won for their music since that is what the whole story was about. I loved how genuine and composed she was when accepting her award.

Can anyone advise on posting photos? I've tried everything I can think of: I'm posting from my pbase.com account, and have triple checked that I've removed all password protection, but pbase is not the easiest to use, nor are the posting instructions good for those that are not highly technical, imh...

Top 10 beaches: maho,maho,maho,maho,maho,vies,maho,maho,saltpond,maho. :D Why: No words, I believe when you find a favorite beach you can just walk onto the beach for the first time, and just "know", some subtle energy on top of the obvious beauty. Pia: which side of maho do you snorkel to...

Ondine is a water spirit, the mythology you can read on wikipedia as it is a rather interesting story. It wasn't so much the story, as I wanted something that associated with water when I named my computer, and now I'm finding that I use it in places like this, too. The water restores my spirit, so ...

CG, et al, Hummingbird is actually where I stayed in Jan/Feb, I stayed in the Bananaquit villa/apt. The space itself was nice, but I was not overly impressed. The bed was not the most comfortable, the blender did not work, and most important for me: the jacuzzi was not operational and you have very ...

Thanks Flip-Flop, those look very nice, what a great location. So many choices, I may just have to be an annual STJ'er to do it all!

Thanks for so many options, I didn't realize there were so many modestly priced villas. I'll have to weigh each one. I absolutely love Concordia, but you definitely do without some of the modern conveniences in the eco-tents, not always a bad thing! RickG-Yes, I thought of Cinnamon, but not sure I r...

Thanks Pia,
Sailview looks lovely, and I certainly do like the Coral Bay area much more than Cruz. I am hoping to be on or near water, so Concordia which I love, might do it, but didn't know of other options out there...

I'm thinking of one more/last trip to STJ before a major relocation later this summer. My first was pretty epic, and spent more than 2 weeks there, got bitten by the bug, and want one more dose on a more modest budget: From what I can tell the following appear pretty low in price for the first week ...
