We found CR before we found STJ. :D At that point it was our favorite vacation of all time. Now it's a toss up between CR & STJ - depends on if we're looking for a snorkeling/chillaxin or adventure/active vacation. We based our stay in Jaco at Hotel Club del Mar, a combination hotel/condo where ...

Things are looking promising to get our petsitter crisis resolved! Hooray - more time to tailgate! If everything goes as planned, I'll bring something on the sweeter side like Cinnamon Bay Biscuits or Key Lime Pie Cookies to share. Keep your fingers crossed that I still remember how to bake. :P Cann...

It was soooo much fun last night! Thank you, Laura, for organizing and getting the green light on the painkillers - to die for, really. I love that whenever we are able to make it to these events, the conversation is fantastic and it feels like we've known you all forever. Special people who all sha...

Please add me & Mr. TexasMermaid! We want to catch up with all of you and hear about recent trips.

Oh no - so sorry to hear about your wife's bone breaks. I've been to Bonaire 3 times and know that dive site - it is tricky as the steps are of varying sizes in addition to the rough transtion at the bottom that you mentioned. And with your gear and tank on it is especially difficult. And coming bac...

Good luck to everyone participating! I wish I were there doing it too. Maybe next year...

Voted for today.

Bump!

My husband & I loved Monkey No Climb. It is just a little further up the road from One Particular Harbor, with spectacular views of Coral Bay & the BVIs. A/C in the 2 bedrooms, no pool but wonderful spa on the deck where a "few" drinks were consumed in the afternoons while we waite...

Happy Thursday everyone!

It's a great day to hop over to the site and vote for the ACC! Only takes about 2 seconds.

Mr TexasMermaid & I will be at a wedding rehearsal dinner that night - darn it! Y'all eat some fried chicken or chicken fried steak for us, mkay?

Love us some Babe's but love the STJ crowd more - sorry we're going to miss this one! Have a great time and we'll try to catch the next one.

Mr Texasmermaid (Kevin) & I enjoyed seeing and meeting everyone on Friday night. What a treat to share a special place like STJ with such fine folks even when we're miles away from it! While we were in Razoo's I almost forgot we weren't on island except there were no painkillers. :P Hope to see ...

Hey there! I replied on the wrong thread earlier today - oops! Mr Texasmermaid and I will be there. Looking forward to seeing y'all again.

Laura - did you get the res at Razoos? Can you add two more to it if you did? It looks good for me and Kevin to join the fun this time.

GraysonDave - everyone's interpretation of where and how much a nice dinner out costs can be very different. And I think the reference to being similar to dining out may also need to be qualified with 'on STJ' (or in a large metro area). As in, similar to the cost of dining out on STJ . Pricing migh...

You will not be disappointed! We had Ted cook for us in April and my husband (the foodie) still talks about it to anyone who will listen. :lol: It was FANTASTIC!!! I surprised hubby with the dinner - he was confused all day that day. All I had told him was that I had made plans for dinner that night...
