Can you share your lists for shipping and Cost-U-Less?

I'm starting to pack our flat rate boxes for shipping some things ahead of time and also making a list for Cost-U-Less. What do you ship ahead? What do you have on your Cost-U-Less list? We are traveling with 8 between ages 5-54.

Thanks for sharing!! :D

Re: Looking for a good Backpack Cooler!

Thank you Teresa Rae for posting that coupon code! I've been planning to replace our lost 48 can Polar Bear and just used the code to order a new 48 and a backpack for the normal price of the 48!!! :D

Re: Jeep Rental Rates - Mr. Pipers looks high, thoughts?

Thanks for all of the suggestions. We can't fit six in the STT Jeep so that won't work. And we have 2 under 10, and another 2 in their 20s (under 25). 4 of us over 25 who are potential drivers. We'll make it work though. We're celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and treating family (4 newbies w...

Re: Jeep Rental Rates - Mr. Pipers looks high, thoughts?

Good points. On the plus side, no cruise ships that day. Husband flies in earlier with me at 2:30 pm so was thinking he'd get the car and wait for the last two of our party who fly in at 4:15 p.m. and I'd head with the rest of the group to STJ get one car and head to the villa. Thought logistics mig...

Re: Jeep Rental Rates - Mr. Pipers looks high, thoughts?

Exit Zero thank you for the sunset info! That made the difference. I've made a reservation request with Amalie for one Jeep in STT and another request with Courtesy in STT (Aqua Blu's was gone). Courtesy has one, but haven't heard back from Amalie and have gotten voicemail when I call. Hopefully the...

Re: Jeep Rental Rates - Mr. Pipers looks high, thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestions. We need two Jeeps and our groups arrive two hours apart so might rent the Aqua Blu for my group and Amalie for the second. I don't know that I'm ready for the drive to Red Hook and the car barge but my husband who is waiting for the later arrivers could get the Amalie car...

Jeep Rental Rates - Mr. Pipers looks high, thoughts?

We need 2 - four door Jeeps for Jan 2-9 and Denise at our villa rental company was kind enough to get us reservations with Mr. Pipers. All reviews look good but they are coming in at $731 EACH for the week which just seems WAY HIGH ($1462 total)! I'm used to paying $500-550/week per Jeep. Aqua Blu h...

Re: New Little Big Town Video at Soggy!!

I'm actually quite surprised there are no comments to this post. I just love to see some of my favorite places and favorite bartenders. It gets me through the in-between times which can be long. The scenery is awesome. And the tune catchy, and I'm not a country fan. So what do you think about the vi...

Re: Sad report on Delaware family

This is so unbelievably sad. While there is no amount that Terminex can pay that will ever give this poor family their lives back, they better damn well pay millions and millions to account for what they've done. You can't put a price on family. Horrible.

Re: Other Islands

Last year we did 2 days on St Thomas, 1 day on St John and 5 days in Tortola. If you stay on the West end it is similar to St John and much less populated than the Road town area where the cruise ships dock which I would avoid. Smugglers Cove felt very much like St. John and we enjoyed the beaches a...

Re: Woo hoo! We just booked!

So great to have a new ticker!! Excited to plan this trip. We are also celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in January (we were married on STT and day tripped to STJ which started the obsession). This year we are taking family that didn't attend the first time so it will be a memorable trip. We ...
