Funny you should mention CEOs and raises. I was a pilot for a regional airline (2000-2006) and after Sept. 11, 2001, about 100 of our pilots were furloughed and about that many flight attendants. We later found out that after all of those people lost their jobs, our CEO gave himself a 1.5 MILLION do...

Hey, have fun! We're sitting here amongst flooding, be happy you're gone already! LOTS of thunder, lightening, and rain storms since you've been gone, too.

So, do they have a mango daiquiri there? :P

We just moved from Minneapolis to Madison a few months ago, so we are driving to Chicago. We are leaving August 21 on American for about $390 each (including taxes). You wont find much better than $700 during the holidays. We were thinking of going then too, but the fares were $800-$1000 for coach d...

Shells on STJ

Are there any good beaches to see really cool shells? I don't want to buy them, I just want to see some pretty ones on the shore. I know people steal them, which I understand is illegal on STJ, so I'm hoping we can find one that still has some. We will be snorkeling, but I also want to check them ou...

We have Verizon and have to have phone contact every other day at least (to check on our dog who'll be in doggy daycare). Do you know if Verizon works there? Also, can you rent a cell phone?

Thanks!

Beachfront room Hawksnest beach

I think we have decided to stay in a Beachfront room on Hawksnest beach or Turtle Bay Beach @ Caneel for 4 nights. These rooms are $175 less per night than the premium beachfront and comes with a full buffet breakfast for two!

Has anyone else stayed on either of these beaches at Caneel?

Thanks!

We will be on a Boeing 757 from MIA to STT and the only seats they have are either over the wing, or behind the wing. No one would know which would be better, would they?? :)

Thanks!

(yes, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to details.)

Thanks for all of your help! I got our airline tickets yesterday - Just over $350 each rt from Chicago. We live 2 hours from Chicago, but it's almost $800 each to go out of Madison! I would love to go for longer, but I'm horribly attached to our German Shepherd. He will be in doggy daycare (a pretty...

Oh, also, is there a way to get flight insurance through the airline? We are going in hurricane season and the flight was less directly through AA than Travelocity.

Thanks!
