Wednesday When we woke up, the power was still out. I was surprised, as I thought that surely, by now, they would have fixed it. We had our breakfast and talked about where to hit today. After the experience at Frances yesterday, we decided to go to a south shore beach where the northern swells woul...

Tuesday We all woke up fairly early, once again, the sun shines right in at sunrise. If going to bed at 8:30 or 9:00 at night didn't make you get up, the sunshine did. We congregated in the kitchen and began eating breakfast. All of a sudden, the lights went out. Everything shut down. We knew that ...

Monday dawned bright and clear. I know , it woke me up! We were going to take the Reef Bay Trail Hike I had signed us up for months ago. I had been working out at the gym since January, trying to make sure that my endurance and leg strength were up to this, and the challenge was upon me. John, Helen...

Unfortunately, we had never heard of Love City Villas, either. When my daughter-in-law contacted them about arrangements to meet us at the ferry dock, the agent commented that, as we were staying the night before in St. Thomas, she would arrange for us to be able to check into the Villa early, at 10...

I have to amend my report. My son and his wife mentioned some details I was fuzzy on about our plans to have an early arrival at our villa: 1. They originally told us we could check in at 10:00am. 2. They ended up telling us we couldn't get in until 3:00pm. 3. We did have all this in writing (email)...

Sorry about that. I didn't think about this. I just ifnished the second one with the same problem. I will see what I can do now.
Thanks for the tip!

I woke to the sound of an alarm clock. I was disoriented, as I had slept so soundly and didn't know where I was right away. When I sat up, I was looking out on the blue waters of St. Thomas's north shore. Oh joy, we are here! I jumped out of bed and set to getting ready to depart. Helene called to s...

We were taking a 6 AM flight from BWI to St.Thomas on Friday the 21st of November. Cold, raw, and the promise of snow flurries. We had been told by American Airlines they wanted us there by 4 AM, even though we had pre-printed boarding passes and carry-on luggage only. There was no one there ahead o...

mcpenguin5, how did you get that great rate? The rates on their website are much higher than that. My daughter-in-law called them to see what they had available, as the web site showed only one room. We needed two. They quoted her the $125 (bear in mind that this is Thanksgiving Week, too!) for the...

We are here in St. John right now, and stayed our first night in St. Thomas. My daughter-in-law got us rooms at the Point Pleasant Resort, near the Windham Sugar Bay, for $125/night. It was soooo nice, 3 great pools, spectacular views, nicest and most helpful staff you could ever want. The rooms wer...

We arrived here recently (too many Bushwacker to remember when) and we owe all our fun to the great group here who have guided our steps. We met Shipwreckpat today when we stopped to eat a late lunch or early dinner on the way back from Lameshur. This forum is great. I am so glad we found you. I wil...

I'm betting that with oil prices plummeting, the airfares will slowly come down. We are finding gas around here now for under $2.00 a gallon, a price I can't recall seeing in years. The airlines will be slower, they can't afford to adjust their prices to quickly when noone knows what the price of oi...

You guys have done a wonderful job! I love this. Now we can all sit and dream while we watch webcam.
Does anyone know why we are seeing "Snow" on the picture when it gets dark? Are these insects? My curiosity again...

I'm trying to remember, is it the Townies that they put a bounty on?

Much thanks to RPPLANO and AUGIE for their recipes. I have copied them out and will take them with us to the Villa. It sounds like they would be nice meals for other nights!
