Snorkeling is pretty good at both spots. The surf tends to be "rougher" at Sapphire while Secret Harbor has little to non.

How would they enforce this? If I rent my timeshare but tell the management company I am "allowing" someone to use my unit how would that be handled? What if I didn't rent it but did allow someone to use the unit, how would that be handled?

So let me get this straight - to increase tourism (which has been on the decline) charge the tourists more! I can accept the 2% increase in room tax but an additional $70-$80 per week for a timeshare.

What a way to discourage visitors!

Went through the link but stumped. There is no international link to vote for St. John. Help me through the voting process.

My last recommendation is the Sea Drops liquid for your mask -- we've tried the spit method (never seems to work...maybe I've got the wrong kind of spit! ) and shampoo, but the commercial stuff seems to work best for us. And the bottle is small, so we take it along on long snorkels. Nothing worse t...

I may have missed it in one of your great reports, what camera are you using? The photos are so vivid, are you using any software for enhancing - if so which one.

LOVED your reports!

T-shirts

My husband, very prone to burning, has worn a t-shirt while snorkeling for years and hasn't had any sort of burn at all. It is slightly thicker than a regular Tee.

Flat rate boxes are the best- you can pack a lot of stuff in a $10 box! Give it at least a week to get here though. I had a friend who shipped sun screen, bug spray, toiletries, even some snacks via drugstore.com. Be prepared though- there free shipping takes at least a month to get here:) It will ...
