Giving Back

ok...i've sat on this for about a month now...having been told that "giving back" was above and beyond what visitors to this gem need to do. Yes, you spend your money, tip as you please, and walk away feeling pretty good about yourselves.... I'm fed up with the self-centered attitude. Sinc...

Thanks for your report....but..... it's really disturbing to hear such negativity. Have you given anything back to the island? Like the animal shelter or the public school? Your experience could be so enriched by making such simple contributions and in return you'll begin to gain a true understandin...

sending wine

Sending wine is a big mistake. You can get pretty good wine at a great price from the specialty store across from the Starfish Market. Booze and tobacco are cheap, everything else is expensive. If you are looking for GREAT wine contact Dale Miller owner of Acqua Blu villa on VRBO. I think he will de...

I'm assuming you are flwing from Philly. We have booked flights 6 mos. in advance and have found the best...

Why was the BB closed?

Loved your trip report. Just wondering why the BB was closed? We were on island 7/17 to 7/26 and all was well then. Please let me know. Sue

Bill and I know the pain and saddness of leaving. We were on island for two and a half weeks and came home March 7th and still haven't recovered. We still cry when we look at the Spice Cam everyday. God Bless, things will get better knowing you will return to that wonderful rock. Chin up!

Hmmm....she looks pretty. But we'd rather spend a day on Palma Bella in John's great company with twin Mercs ( No need for embroidered crew polos).
