They were showing it to a potential buyer one day, but I didn't know how much they were asking. I thought someon...

Damn! I'm so bummed I didn't show up! It was raining so bad that evening that we came back to the condo right after eating. :( Otherwise, we'd have ferried back over to STJ for that party!

bugblu - so sorry we missed you on Monday, but as you know it was raining cats and dogs, so I wondered if you guys just cancelled the whole thing. We had been to STJ that day, but went back over to Secret Harbour to change and go to dinner, then it started pouring - didn't want to go back over on th...

I had just looked at the weather also - its a 60% chance of rain next weekend! Usually the weather guys never have it right that far in advance, so I'm hoping it changes. I know how everyone feels about the cisterns and all, but 60% chance of rain still kinda bumms me out. :cry:

I had heard that if you wore flip flops, they didn't make you take them off, I guess that's wrong. Why would ANYONE want to walk thru security barefooted! yuck.

I'm so excited for you! Sounds like you have everything planned out so no worries, mon! I've noticed a number of people drive 3-5 hours to an airport for their flights. Is this because there are no airports close to where you live, or are the rates that cheap that it warrents spending the $$ for gas...
