Super busy today but I couldn't let this one get by. Not sure what the folks at CV are telling you, but how else do you think everyone else on the island gets their water? Everyone from STT to STJ relies on cisterns to get the bulk of their water. I've been heading down for over a decade now and I d...

Jumbie is one of my faves, but has gotten more and more crowded over the years. Typically its a self limiting beach because of the limited # of parking spaces. But I swear people just park in town and take a taxi. Also, if you want a little privacy, you can head down the left all the way to the end ...

RE: Choc Hole Maria's Bluff area, just ask the Villa Co abot the Pond Bay Club construction and where it's located in relation to your choices. This will be a major project once (if and when) it gets going and may cause strife if you're not aware. That being said, if you want to be relatively close ...

We're two adults, but lots o' stuff and we went with the XL-- It's HUGE. Enough for towels, change of clothes, magazines, sunblock, snorkel gear etc. If you don't have THAT much stuff then go with the Large.

They fold up nicely and aren't as stiff as their usual totes.

I saw this in NM's "The Book" and sought it out specifically on my last visit to NM. Creed specializes in unisex fragrances. LOTS of coconut smell in this fragrance. I wasn't that impressed. I definitely do not think that a man would wear this. It was a bit too feminine. Of course, fragran...

Heya Jan!!

I swear we are on the same vacation schedule.

Yeah, we're down Dec 1-12. We're totally on our own this time -- let's get together! Sorry I've been so out of touch.

LL Bean allows you to custom make your own beach tote and I think the end result is awesome: http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?&storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=8889&feat=hi Flip flop turned me on to this and not only is it fun customizing ...

Nancy...

Do you live in Burke Centre or just Burke?

And yes, flip flop and I can speak from personal experience...

Oh, and if for some reason you were up the night before drinking say 14 rum punches, at Miss Lucy's full moon party, between you and one other person and the next day you head out with Captain Phil I can offer two peices of advice: 1) If you have to hurl, do it over the side-- that's how he prefers ...

Gromit Here! I've been living in NoVA (Burke- Fairfax Co.) since the early 80's. Went to HS here and graduated from George Mason University-- Go Patriots! A couple of years ago we bought about 5 acres in Warren County smack dab between (yes I said smack dab) Front ROyal and Strasburg. At some point ...

Hey which road do you take to get to the house Centerline or Northshore?

I think Jan aka Charlie wrote in her on line report of that prooperty that it's Centerline, but for some reason I can't picture it.

Guidance?

The road I don't care about. the rougher the better. Keeps the tourists away!

Gino and his wife are wonderful at Icche c'e c'e. Had THE best gnocchi with a lemon butter and sage sauce. Those gnocchi were like little puffs of air. ressies are a MUST for dinner at night. Ever since Rick Steve's recommended the place in his book, they've gotten busy. As for Il Cantinone, you'd m...

Hubby's a diver and I actually snorkeled the Rhone ages ago (same trip we stopped at Cooper)--with the good visibility in the water and one end of that puppy sitting at about 20-30 feet you can see alot. Hubby's always interested in diving but doesn't own his own equip. Most people don't know about ...

Anthony, We were in Florence for 8 days this past May. Stayed at the Hotel Torre Guelfa on via Tournabuoni. HAD THE best time and I miss it already. Restaurant Faves included Icche c'e c'e; perche no? for Gelato; Ristorante Antico di Sasso di Dante; and Il Cantinone (Oltrarno). I Frattelini was awes...
