We always come back to Maho for the simplicity and beauty...and it's easy to move the cooler and snorkel gear from Jeep to Beach. Good list of beaches - and an amazing bit of consistency. The "Birds of a Feather" principle. Little Lameshur - don't go there. :wink: Long drive, but one of th...

The road out to Ditliff has been paved and is a great walk/run in the morning. Near the end of the road it dips down and there's a trail to the right that takes you to a protected sandy beach. Park near the entrance.

CCM - maps are for sissies, right? Wrong. After many trips to STJ, the Tral Bandit map is the best. It's small enough to fit in any pocket of cargo pants or baoard shorts. Our old one is anotated with trip notes.

Books On-Island

The comment by PAG struck a chord. ...the books (my goodness, the reading material we take along!) Mrs. Random is a voracious reader, and I have been know to zoom through a book a day - ususally recovering from a rum fog or going into one. Or reading on the beach in between snorkel trips. In the pas...

Chet, sounds good. That should beat surfing the Indian River Inlet in January!!! Augie - that's NSIRI (North Side Indian River Inlet) south of Dewey Beach, DE. The rock jetty holds the sand, and surfable waves. SSIRI is good on a northeast wind, but those jacking A-frames pound the beach. Rick - th...

Lewes, DE, Dec 27, head-high barrels, 3 hour session...beautiful. Wearing a 6/4 wetsuit with 5 mil lobster-claw gloves, 6 mil booties, and hood.

Back in Feb of '07 I stayed in the Condado Plaza during a site visit, then spent a week there in May leading IT support for the Feria de la Segunda Juventud event. Now, others may extol the ease of traveling the short distance to Old San Juan...to walk around the old fort and stroll the cobblestone ...

I'm betting Denzel.
Clever! Don't rent the cheap wheels from Denzil...one year we got a micro-suszuki with no radio, no a/c, and bald tires. Driving from Mystic Ridge to Maho, coming down into the first turn on 20, I found out the brakes barely worked. It was an island experience to remember.
