Sandals

Silly question - what is your favorite brand of sandals for hiking to the beaches? We're gearing our gang up for the hike to Ram Head. Last trip we had cheapo sandals - we were miserable!!!!!!!!

Second Wind / Virgin Seabreeze

We are looking at renting these villas for two weeks in July and we're hoping they are close enough to walk back and forth! Can someone give me ideas of how difficult the walk might be?? Also- how bad the hike down to the beach might be - and is it worth it? Kind of sounds like the surf might be rea...

We do it every year - made a believer out of my doubting brother! Packed a hard cooler full of stuff and taped it shut! Still frozen when we get to St. John after leaving Charlotte! It was great - cause then we had an additional cooler for beaches -- and I had my favorite bacon and steaks in my favo...

WOW - Just priced it for our trip in July. About $600 less for 5 people. WOW! I'm thinking that might be the way we go! I have to drive to Myrtle - but that's nothing for $600!

Charli - we've been a couple times during the 4th. It really is a GREAT time. But we've opted for coming in right AFTER the festivities. The island seems to quiet down and relax EVEN more!

We have shipped stuff down before - it was nice but I don't think I'll do it again! For this summer's upcoming two week trip we have a new plan. Pack like I normally would for two weeks. Then take half out!! Then the night before - take half out again. I ALWAYS take outfits that I never wear. I thin...

When we attended both of her daughter's weddings, we worked our TAILS off and really didn't get to enjoy the day. Besides - I have a rule - I don't hire family or friends. Just makes it too a...
