You can take a gentle hike out to a point AND enjoy a morning at one of my favorite beaches. Drive over to Little Lameshur and park by the beach, in the shade. It's a short walk back on the road to the Yawzi Point trail. The view is outstanding and the trail is easy and short. You really get a good ...

We found the IAD to STT via San Juan is the best deal. The change in flights at SJU required dashing the longest distance between point A and B. The "On Island" experience started before the flight to STT - the pilot came on and said he was waiting for a delayed flight so passengers could ...

Mrs. Random packs and re-packs for days. My packing is done the night before: snorkle gear, swim trunks, cargo shorts, Crabby's and Mixology Warehouse caps, Love City Surf and Jolly Dog t-shirts, flip-flops, chacos, and crocs, and wear the tropical shirt and dress shorts on the plane.

The classic drink with apple brandy is the Jack Rose:
2 oz Applejack brandy
1 oz lemon juice
1 oz grenadine syrup
Shake with crushed ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

...it reminds me of the rope bracelets we used to get in the beginning of the summer, they would shrink around your wrist and by the end of the summer they were really nasty and ready to cut off.... I wear my Turk's Head rope bracelet while on holiday, and that includes STJ. It's a left-over habit ...

Chlorine will tarnish silver faster that you can drink a painkiller. It's ok in the shower - soap and a wash cloth will shine it right up. All silver bracelts and rings get scratched - just take it to someone and have it buffed. BTW - Last Saturday we were having drinks and oysters at Fins in Rehobo...

check out Mystic Ridge: http://www.islandgetawaysinc.com/
We stayed there 7 times. Fabulous views, 5 min from Maho and Coral Bay, and an open floor plan with plenty of privacy and open space. And yes, those are original LeRoy Neiman paintings on the walls.

Go to ZoZos and sit at the upstairs bar and order a mess of appetizers. The braised scallops are divine.

Every day snacks? PB & Banana sandwich washed down with Blackstrap rum and Vanilla Coke!

The Caves are over rated. And Indians were spectacular, and more so 30' down. Another good spot is the HMS Rhone off Peter Island. You really need to dive the Rhone because of the depth of the wreck. Captain Alvin took us out there a few years ago. We also stopped and snorkled Tecktite, the old NASA...
