I like the Amex Blue Sky Card.

You pay for any travel costs (air, hotel, car) upfront and they are credited on your bill.

Only bad thing is a lot of places don't take Amex so you have to have more than 1 card.

Well the 32M would just be chump change for Tiger but I really don't think that lilly white wife of his wants to damage her skin in the tropical sun. What I found so astounding about the whole thing was that all those women he bedded looked almost exactly alike! I mean you would think a man would li...

Don't worry about it greyhoundmom, the coral is long dead now so no need to return it to the sea. And by the way, most all corals will attempt to discharge or sting you on contact but most we just don't feel. The attempt though is thought to harm the coral somewhat so it is important to not touch AN...

True the 4D Wrangler does have a hardtop but the top and doors are for protection from the weather only, not impact. So the Liberty would be safest in an accident.

Being a long time visitor of the Mayan Riviera I can attest that the attitudes you can run into on St. John can be completely different. The way I see it is because so few of the native St. Johnians have anyting to do with making money from the rich tourists. We were on the islands for 2 weeks last ...

We've had both 4D and 2D Jeeps on the island and didn't see much difference in the fun factor. I drive the 4D at home. The 2D is easier to back up in tight spots. The hardtop 2D does allow you to stack carry-on sized luggage behind the seats, so if the kids don't mind possibly having a bag in their ...

And to delete on a whim someone's negative information is asinine. This is no longer a forum.

Good God these people are paranoid.

I'll bet she believes the government can read your thoughts too when you're wearing a Made in USA hat.

The only thing worse than such sensationalism in the first place is the spreading of it further.

I believe in the end this flu outbreak will be no more deadly than usual - what made this one scary was the underreporting by the Mexican government. The mortality rates in Mexico only seem high because according to Mexican authorities only those dead or in the hospital are "sick." As of y...
