For a person who works on computers for a living, don't know why I'm having trouble posting the actual picture into this forum (see my 2 posts above). Followed the instructions in another post - get the URL of the photo, click Img, paste URL, click Img again. But all I see is the HTML code, no pic. ...

I second everything Papabou said. Let me add one more villa on the same road as C9. Seawatch is the villa to the right, as you gaze upon STT, just up the hill. I have looked at every villa on that road, and the fact the C9 is completely AC'ed, plus the views, plus the pool, plus dealing with Allen a...

And I don't think it matters the company that you choose.... As I told Sylvia when I initially got off the phone after inquiring about making a claim, only to be told there was no coverage in that exact instance, " Gee....I forgot that all trip insurance is written and sold by.... WEASELS! It's...

Thanks, all for the kudos! Thanks to Coral for fixing my pictures link! I'm *extremely* pleased with our new Underwater camera! Best of all, it's very small, only twice as thick as our other "shirt-pocket" Canon dry-land-only camera, so from now on, we'll only bring one small camera. It's ...

We were forced to leave our villa because of Hurricane Earl. Had to move over to Gallows Point, only room they had avail. was their most expensive rooms. Approx. cost over $1200, lodging cost NOT covered by CSA. It WOULD have been covered if it had happened earlier in the vacation, but not at the en...

For our 14th actual full day on STJ, we connected with Coden (Coral and Denny) and we all decided to spend the day at Honeymoon Beach. We picked them up in the AM, and off we went. After parking at Caneel and the trek to Honeymoon, we set up under the sea grape trees in the middle of the beach. It w...

I would love to hear from Connie to see if she ever receives reimbursement from CSA. I know in our case, we were out $1200 last year from Hurricane Earl. Insured thru CSA. Not covered! Basically, deep in the fine print of the policy, under Trip Interruption, due to weather, the policy says that if y...

Excellent, ColumbiaSC, bring 'em on! Yep, one trip to Maho changed our mind completely! It'll be on our list every year from now on. Same thing happened to us several years ago with Cinnamon Bay - never went there, went to better snorkeling beaches. One trip there a couple of years ago, and now we g...

I left out one thing that helped with the great UW picture results:

Picasa, the free photo-editing and organizing program from Google.

Seriously.

OK, OK, we'll tell the truth! In 5 years of coming to STJ, we've NEVER been to Maho. I know, I know, what kind of knuckleheads are we??? Call us snorkel snobs, if you will. We usually frequent the beaches with the best snorkeling. And Maho, according to most of the books and conversations, is a grea...

I must admit,some of those shots were pretty impressive. Blame luck, a new UW camera, and VERY cooperative fish!

See more pics in a brand-new post, TR Day 13 - Maho

We've lost track of time....how in the world could that have happened? :lol: Day 11 started off rainy, so we hung out for a while until it began to clear. We were gonna go out to L Lameshur again, so I kept checking the 3 VI webcams that are out in that area so I could see the actual weather there. ...

I'm posting some pics in a Trip Report today. I'll try to PM you some separate villa pics today.

Well, technically, (from Wikipedia, and confirmed with m-w.com): >>Flotsam is floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo. Jetsam is part of a ship, its equipment, or its cargo that is purposefully cast overboard or jettisoned to lighten the load in time of distress and that sinks or is washed ashore.<...
