Re: Most Overrated / Most Underrated

Underrated, or really not rated at all... yet. Coral Bay Caribbean Oasis! We've eaten there (or should I say we got food to go and brought it home) three nights in a row. We haven't had the same thing twice, it's cost us less than $30 each night, all the food had been tasty, and we've had lots of le...

Re: Spotted Eagle Ray. Woot!

I think the waters may be a bit churned up, but I didn't find circumnavigating Waterlemon Cay to be any different than usual. Day 5 and we're enjoying every minute. Minde - I'll report on our new digs later. For you "value conscious" peeps out there, I think we found a winner!

Spotted Eagle Ray. Woot!

I saw either 2 spotted eagle rays today, or I saw one twice, while snorkeling around Waterlemon Cay. Not sure. I'll post my best photo when I have a chance to go through them. GORGEOUS day today!
Check back for proof of my sighting! :wink:

Re: Question about cell use while on a cruise

Perhaps there's internet (wifi) on the ship? If so, just download Skype on their iPad and they can make calls that way. I'm assuming their cell phones are not smartphones. If they are, then there are all sorts of apps to download, such as Skype, to use for calling using the internet. I have a Magic...

Re: Surprise surprise someone has a new ticker

Rule of thumb... If you have a close friend who owns a house on STJ, be very nice to them, and keep them in your circle of friends! Enjoy your trip.

Re: Dilemna!

How about Isla Mujeres? Easy to get to from TX (fly into Cancun), it's an island in the Caribbean, inexpensive, and the added bonus is that it's Whale Shark season right now. You can book a trip to swim/snorkel with the Whale Sharks (a bucket list item, for sure!). These folks http://onislamujeres....

Re: Which trails/hikes to do?

Ram Head for sunset... a must do for us. I also like Caneel Hill/Margaret Hill. I'm all about getting a good view! From Little Lameshur it's fun to hike over to Europa Bay. If you go to Annaberg and plan to walk out to Waterlemon, then continue on the Johnny Horn trail up the hill to the two sets o...

Sherban - I sure missed your helpful posts on the forum the last couple of years. I'm sure I speak for many when I tell you that it's good to see your frequent posts again. Looks like you had a great trip and did indeed make lots of memories. Good for you!

Re: Spirit Airlines: The Difference Is The Indifference

I think the key point here is that they don't have any reciprocity with other airlines. The first thing I always do when my flight looks to have problems, is look for other ways home. It happened in December, when our JetBlue flight was delayed by 3 hours, meaning we'd miss our connection. No probl...
