did the shoe nazis make you remove your flipflops?

Well done on your new life adventure!

Then: rum drinks at the tiki hut
Sat: hot tea at the 10th Mountain hut
Then: snorkel gear at Jumbie
Sat: telemark gear at 12,000'

It's all about the adventure.

What make and model of housing did you get? Mrs. Random received an SD870 IS from Santa and will be taking pix of fish.

I am falling in love with Sol Inclination, though. Definitely back on the short list. We stayed at Sol Inclination last Oct/Nov. It is one of the best villas we have every enjoyed (St Martin, STT, STJ). Two seperate houses, pool, hot tub, upper house has a library on the gound floor with a fold-out...

Close... a white leopard puffer fish.

Moms rock! We checked out Octopus Ink on STJ (down past where Love City Surf Shack used to be, ground floor. The woman who runs it apprenticed in NYC and STT before opening her shop. She's the cousin of a good friend here in DC. Ok, this year I'm goin' in to sit on the chair!

MaryAnn was working our 2006 annual event in Anaheim posing for photos, which were then made into buttons. My IT support crew and I went over to check out the hottie from GI. After me the line was closed, and as I stepped in for the closeup with MaryAnn, I leaned close and whispered "What is th...

Yes, all four of the listed albums are Kassav. I would have scheduled a trip to STJ just to party with Kassav - it's gonna be a carnival!!! (They've been on my iTunes all afternoon)

Zouk = French Caribbean. You MUST have at least 3 or 4 in your collection. Our villa dances with Zouk energy.

My choices (in order):
20eme Anniversaire
Dife
Majestic Zouk
Vini pou

Go to Amazon and give a listen. Their sounds always transports me to my *Happy Place*

We have not stayed on the Cruz Bay side of the island. Dream Catcher and Blue Skies both look tasty - but it might be a bit noisy with the Westin as your neighbor...don't know for sure. I personally like the cottage feel and the shade trees at Perlandra. None have wireless access or cable for postin...

A nearly empty beer and sandy flip-flops at Trunk...well done!

The villa choice ususally determines who your agent will be but Kathy Mc Laughlin at Island Getaways is my first choice and who we've rented through for the last several years. I love the wonderful welcome basket she provides upon arrival... Kathy is the best. We've been working with her exclusivel...

Does it come with an IV drip?

Just remember to pace yourself in the high altitude. I'm headed to a 10th Mountain Hut near Leadville in 2 weeks, backcountry skiing at 11,500'.
