Re: Another Amalie Car Rental?

Four times with Discount, no problems whatsoever. Polite and professional. They pick you up at the airport; I don't think we've ever waited more than ten or fifteen minutes.

Re: Great Caribbean Getaways SCAM

Long story short, he almost ruined our vacation some time ago. We paid a deposit on a villa, got tickets, scheduled vacations from work, etc. Months later, as our vacation approached, we saw that the website calendars for the villa still weren't reflecting our reserved dates correctly, and some were...

Re: Restaurant recommendation for birthday dinner

If it were my birthday, I'd go to Asolare. My wife would pick La Tapa.

There may be other better choices we're not familiar with, though.

Re: Asolare

My parents took the whole gang there for their fiftieth wedding anniversary a couple years ago. I thought it was wonderful. Also the bartender was excellent and very knowledgeable about trees and their botanical names, of all things.

Sheila, I agree completely, and the price is reasonable. We stayed there last year, too. Funny thing though, there were kestrels nesting on the porch downstairs and they would swoop at us as we walked by! Very exciting. :lol: http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/ab141/banksiana/stj2013023_zpsa77be486....

Re: Good Day, forumites

great caribbean getaways - the good news is, the way it worked out is probably the only way I'd get my wife to consider staying at Cinnamon Bay :lol: I'd be happy to stay there the whole time, but a house is nice too.

Re: Good Day, forumites

Thanks for the replies and tips - will definitely check out Low Key for a mask. And Princess Bay sounds easy to get to - the pictures of mangroves are fascinating. Being a newb I have to try a picture - this is a cloudy morning at Periwinkle - long story short, the rental agency finally replied to o...

Re: Hurts So Good– Day Three Trip Report 4/15-4/23

Those sit-on-top kayaks have such a high center of gravity, I guess the paddler becomes a sail in any wind. Never tried one, but it looks like fun. I suppose a regular kayak with a cockpit would be oppressively hot.

Great pictures!
