Just went with New Horizons II on Monday. Very easy swim to the baths, they have noodles, kickboards, fins to make it easier. An older couple were on the boat and had no trouble with the short swim. Lunch at Pussers was good also. Soggy Dollar is more of a wade than a swim as they tied up very close...

Thanks all, I think I'm going to risk it. It's a 96 Cristal Rose, probably worth as much as my plane tickets, but it is replaceable. Can't drink it in the limo as I'm doing a stay, park and fly by the airport the night before, but great idea!

Now to get my wife on island time........

Checking Champagne

Any one checked Champagne on the plane? I have a rather special bottle I want to bring down, but I worry about the bubbly. (once had a can of coke explode in my suitcase). I have an extremely sturdy wine case to pack it in but I still worry, I've had it a long time and have been saving it for a spec...

My wife is a private chef, she uses nothing but All Clad. Stainless, copper, they are all great quality and will last forever. They go in the dishwasher all the time and still look great.

Where else could you ask about a new restaurant and not only get almost instant first-hand reviews but food-porn too! You guys are awesome. I think I found my final dinner restaurant.

Bump!

Anyone been here yet? I've made my choices for four dinners, Asolare, Zozo's, Paradisio and Morgan's Mango, but need one more and I can't decide. I do love the location......

Thanks!

Techni Ice help asap

My wife is packing a box for her clients to take with them to St. John on Sunday. She believes the airlines will limit the Techni Ice to 5 lbs as they do with dry ice. Does anyone know if this is the case? If so will 5lbs of Techni Ice work as good or better than dry ice? Thanks for all the great ad...
