Re: STT Taxi with Car seat

I used Rachel for her private taxi service Airport to Redhook and also the return just 2 months ago. We had an 11 month old infant and she brought the car seat along for the baby to ride in. It worked perfectly. Be sure to booked her in advance for this. Of course we gave her a nice tip, but it was ...

Re: 1:05 Layover in Miami?

DRD, We've done the short connection in MIA before and made it. We fly from Michigan (also in February) and have sometimes connected in Chicago. My biggest concern for you is will your flight leave Chicago on time. Weather can be such a big thing that time of year. If you are delayed on your departu...

Re: What to do about airfare

We fly out of GRR also. I booked for next February using my cc points (Flexperks Visa through US Bank). We have mostly flown on Delta. They have become so expensive that this time the roundtrip flight was over $1,000 and would cost me 75,000 points. I opted for American and used 40,000 points. We on...

I read elsewhere online that she was found on STT. She is safe. I hope she gets the help she needs.

Re: Where to buy fresh fish?

We bought fresh mahi at the roadside market by the lumberyard. Look for the guys with the big white coolers. It was a 3.5 lb fish and he charged us $30. He fileted it out while we watched and did a great job. All that was left for scrap was a very thin piece with the bones. He threw that in the 2nd ...

Re: Recommendations for a trip to the Baths

We used Pirate's Penny (sister boat to Stormy Petral) a few years ago. An excellent day. Stops at several islands. The tour through the Baths was awesome. Our boat captain took us through and navigated our group of 10 through the rock formations. He took a path that was different from any other grou...

Re: Another Ticker Check to keep me going in -15 WCF

I have a countdown on my phone, but it's always fun to see it here. I also have a weather app on my phone with 2 locations. My hometown of Muskegon, MI (where it is blowing up a big storm today) and Cruz Bay (where it is sunny and warm). If I'm not happy with the local weather I just look at the Cru...

Re: Swim noodle????

Another option might be a cheap blow up float mattress. He could lay across it with face in the water and then just kick along to wherever he wants. I always pack one in my luggage and then use it throughout the week for lounging in the water. On the last day I either give it to someone's child at t...
