Camera name, etc

Thanks so much for the compliments. I think turtles are everyone's favorite ( and maybe eagle rays which we did not see on this trip) by the way - take your camera every time you go out.

Best Travel Book

Have read here about Feet, Fins and Four Wheel Drive book. Also see St. John Off The Beaten Path. Can anyone recommend one of these over the other ? Interested more in snorkeling than hiking if that helps. Going in Dec and want to start reading right away to get ready !

MilesAway villa pool
