Grrr, This makes me so angry to hear. What has happened to our country and how will we ever recover. We have a serious mess on our hands and it just keeps getting worse. These ceos are looking for our money to bail them out and have the nerve to fly via a private jet, how about it's time to sell the...

I agree with what has been posted already. I started about 5 months ago, and go about 4 times a week. It is somewhat addicting, if you like it and give it a chance. I found that the dynamics of each class are different, depending on the instructor. I learned a long time ago not to get too attached t...

hit around 2.50ish in southern ct. And ironically enough the Toyota dealership just happened to call with a Prius available, no waiting. hmmmm... rickG - thanks for the reply way back when, although if I recall, I think you are off enjoying yourself right now!? it will be interesting to see if it ke...

I looked at the Prius and can pretty close to buying a new one. The battery issue was what held me back. Also, the plug-in rechargeable version will be out Fall 2009 and that will kil resale values on the old versions. RickG - Can you tell me more about the 2009 plug in you mention above? I had hear...

Agree on posts already. During our rain week, we drank lots, played cards and met lots of great people. Also did the ruins, somehow seemed a little more appropriate in the rain. Didn't see this mentioned, but we also hit Sloop Jones studio, great place and very nice folks. I think you can still go t...

We too were there that week in 2003. Seeing this post brought back some of those memories. Our first trip to St John and we were getting married, yikes! We quickly learned not to be bothered in the least by forecasts for rain after that trip. We bumped the wedding a day in hopes it might clear. So n...

Crazy to see it close up, wow. I found this interesting in the info. Does it mean what I think it means? The parent isn't enough, there also needs to be a sitter or nanny for children? Children Welcome Yes - only if accompanied by babysitter or nanny, and at the owners' discretion. A notarized liabi...

2 out of 5 trips to STJ we have had issues with luggage and is now why we try to do carry on only. We also were married there and had a lot of stuff to bring. I carried my dress separate and they held it up front and if I recall had 2 more pieces. with charges for bags now, room is getting much tigh...

We stayed in Amora June 2007. I agree with the other comments pros and cons, and would also add we liked the walk at night and not having to worry about driving/parking. I did feel safe staying there at all times, but wouldn't leave anything open while sleeping. Mainly due to being so close to the r...

For some reason this brought me out of lurking...I agree with a lot of what has been stated already, but the bigger one for me is the shower! I can deal with the toilet and conserving water there, but I do love a nice long, hot shower!

Thanks for the replies thus far. CA Girl - we have 2 of the 4 listed, will check out the other 2 you mention. And from what I have read Paso Robles has numerous (80+) vineyards? Forgot, Santa Barbara is on the list too. We have already been to San Fran and are somewhat limited with time. Rather than...

Hi, After 5 return trips to St John, I am sorry to say that we will not be returning this year. No reason in particular, just looking to try something different. So..we are going to California. We are driving Santa Cruz to LA. We have family in LA so we are covered there, but are looking for advice ...

I think it was Wednesdays, Eddie would play with a female singer, Adrianna maybe? don't think they do anymore. Not sure about another nights.
4 years ago next week and we were married there, the week of the big rain! All this talk has me thinking about our next trip!

As of this summer, didn't need reservations for the bar. Not sure if they even take them? All based on what you prefer. We go when there is live music and prefer seating inside(bar or table) vs outside. If you've never been, take a walk by and see what you think. The tables are very close to the roa...

Without a doubt the bar, imo. I have had some of my most memorable moments at that bar listening to Eddie Bruce play. Year after year we are drawn back, good food, wine and people.
