Affordable Villa

Well, I can't speak to it yet, but Poi Pu in Chocolate Hole is near the top end of your range. Headed there in about 11 days. You can find it on villafish.com. A/C in 2 bedrooms, fairly open floor plan, deck, pool, private.
I'm hoping it is everything I wanted when I booked it.

North Texas Mosquito's

Well,,perhaps it's because we know the concept of being carried away by mosquito's....
I know I'm sweet and they love me, so I look for anything that's a little overboard on the protection front.
Heck, if I could get my propane mosquito killer on board, I'd be taking it!
LOL

If anyone wants to give it a try, here's a link to the product info and a coupon for a free refill. No I don't work for them, just trying to save everyone a little ...

AA FF Miles

I use them to go everywhere. and the recommendation to book far in advance is good. The earlier the better. I've used them for Belize, St. Lucia, Mexico, etc and yes, the 35k is pretty much standard for International. The other thing to consider is that if you really have a lot of miles, 50k get's y...

Tipping

One thing I've noticed, and I address this indirectly, is that when you mix people with different spending habits and different abilities to pay there is room for conflict. Group dinners provide the biggest opportunity for conflict - I put cash on the table and head to the bar when the calculators ...

Ok...now listen carefully..... Put down the Blackberry and back away....Drop the laptop and turn around.... I don't have any real experience in St. John, but you should be ok as long as the service isn't satellite. It won't be speedy, but it should work. The Geek in me tries to stay home for vacatio...
