Re: AA nickel and dime
I read an article just a month or two ago that talks about this. Now that the public has swallowed all of the additional charges for bags, WiFi, overhead bins (some airlines) and more, the airlines are going to start milking the last frontier: your seat selection. The article, which I believe was in...

Re: Villa Help - sunsets!
Big vote for Plumeria, owned by Coconuts owner. New updated interior and exterior. We are staying there this August, and I know the sunset views are killer because we've stayed for years at Cloud 9, directly below Plumeria on Gifft Hill. The sunset views from Gifft Hill are spectacular, I've seen no...

Re: Where to buy fresh fish?
Another vote for buying fish on Tuesday from Fish Trap. It's probably more expensive, but in our many trips to STJ, we've come to know Aaron, the owner, and he's really picky and he knows his fish. Good stuff there.

Re: Spirit Air Nightmare
I agree with RickG, except for the order (based on personal experience). As far as Spirit goes, without riling any feathers, I think it's a case of you get what you pay for. I'm not sure I would use Spirit even if they were $200 less, as Rick sez. We now feel the same way about American. We used to ...

Re: Need a Jeep Rental- new question
We have rented from Courtesy in the past, with no problems, and good service. Last couple of years we have used L&L Jeep Rental (www.bookajeep.com) and have also had exemplary service. I think they now own the parking lot next to Fatty Crab, and this is a great place to park at night in Cruz bay.

Re: Where is everyone?
It's been my general observation that folks that fly from the East Coast to STT get really good airfares. From the South, pretty good deals, not as cheap as the EC. The Midwest (we're in Central Ohio), not so good. We got $570 each RT from Columbus Ohio to STT in August, and counted ourselves very l...

Re: Where is everyone?
Alright, another set of lurkers here, too. But we've booked Plumeria for August 7-24th.
Can't wait!

Re: REMINDER: BEACH BAR TOMORROW NIGHT (Sunday, August 11)
It was a great get together! We started out on the beach, but quickly moved up into the area at the end of the bar where the tables are. It was great to meet ccinhbg and Michigan Mom. Good get-together! Tonight is Silverheels and sister Sandra, myself and Mrs. AwardB at Banana Deck, unless it rains,...

Re: STJ Burger War
Yes, I know that they seem proud of the fact that they don't have a fryer, but, really, after all these years, no fries?
C'mon!

Re: STJ Burger War
I know I'm gonna raise the ire of a lot of folks on this board, but the last 2 years I went to Skinny's, the burgers were much smaller and not so amazing. We've been sampling them yearly for at least 7 years. And we're still loyal Skinny customers, we'll hit them again for a burger in August. But th...

Please do! We've certainly been reading YOUR posts for the longest time!
And I *still* haven't seen an Eagle Ray in all my trips to STJ, darn it!

Re: Breakfast recommendations
Got it. At this point we're looking for more of true breakfast place.

Re: STJ Burger War
I know this'll sound crazy, but when we were there last year, we had one of the BEST burgers at the Iguana, where the bank used to be, methinks. My Sig. Other, Sylvia, even had a burger there and loved it, and she rarely eats a burger when we're out.
I'm just sayin........
