Quick trip! Questions

After several years away my wife and I will be back for a quick 3 night stay in May. We used points to stay at the Westin. I’ve never stayed at this property as we are typically “villa people.” From what I’ve read it seems fine and they have done some remodeling. I guess I’m mostly wondering about t...

We just took our son (5 years) and did not have a passport for him. I know I know, we ran out of time! Next time I will have one. However, it was not a hassle at all. A security person in Miami asked him his name and checked it against his ticket. The customs agent on the way back asked to see his b...

I was wondering if someone local, or someone with vast spider knowledge can tell me about that spider. No big deal? Dangerous? Any information would add to the story.

Trip Report 5/2-5/9 Part 6

The Walk...

Today is the day we leave. Last night I told myself that I was ok with that, this morning I feel differently. We hit a lot of beaches, a couple of trails, had good food and a lot of fun, nothing to complain about. It's still hard to go! On top of that, the 5 year old keeps telling me we should live ...

The usual breakfast routine. Then, we headed east as it was Ram Head hike day. I had never done this hike so I was very excited.

Trip Report 5/2-5/9 Part 3

Today we decided on Maho. We got an early start after coffee, bagels and wildlife watching at the villa.

It is 3rd floor at The Marketplace. I believe the website is stjohndeli.com or something close to that. Google will know the answer.

Trip Report 5/2-5/9 Part 2 Take 2

My links were broken. I am not sure how to go back and edit so I am going to just repost, sorry. First full day. I woke up at 6:30. This has been typical the whole trip. It doesn't matter if we stay up having drinks or go to bed early, I am wide awake at 6:30 and I love it. [/img] http://i1055.photo...

Trip Report-5/2-5/9 Part 1

Kia Ora Villa in Chocolate Hole from 5/2-5/9. We chose the Park Sleep and Fly option at the Marriot in Detroit the night before our flight. I find this to be super convenient and I recommend it if you have never tried it. Travel Day. Our flight was at 6:30 AM. Walking up to security still half aslee...

Do you have a moment?

I liked St. John from the start, but I do have a moment that defines the whole experience. I think it was a few days in to the trip. We spent a long morning at the beach. After coming back to the villa I laid down on the bed. When I woke up a bit later (I NEVER nap)it took me a second to figure out ...
