Kevin, are you saying that you suspect VRBO will be adding services for me, the renter, to justify this "fee". What exactly could that be that would entice me? We are due to travel down in May. Because of a lost job and the time it took to recover from that we have not been to STJ since 20...

Greetings all I think I saw here about American Airlines stricter check in rules and changes to customs process. What is the AA requirement? 1 ½ hours? Those that have been through it using AA – how does it work if you are not checking bags and have your boarding pass already printed (do they still...

Hmmmm....this may make me spring in to action sooner than I had planned.

So this may be an inappropriate question but...

We are looking at a VRBO property for late 2016. If we were to book before the 6% were to go in to effect, would we avoid that?
This is a non STJ vacation.

I knew this was coming but did not know the date. Knowing now that it is 1/1 I fully expect to pay the increased tax. Happened with our wedding almost 10 years ago. NJ State tax went from 6% to 7.5%. Talk about a tough pill to swallow on our wedding tab. Yikes! But 10 years past I just remember it w...

$96? Wow, that price went up. When we were there in 2013 is was $79 for the bottle which was a steal.
Last time I purchased it around here I think I paid $72 or $74.

Please note my very important question:
Are you saying they are no longer pouring Tignanello by the glass? Not that I am complaining. Last time there, at the old location, I regretted not getting the bottle. The price was pretty reasonable compared to what I get it for at home.

I will stare at it longingly until I can turn the page and say "going to St. John THIS year"

The 2016 calendar is really beautiful.
Thanks for getting it to me so quickly!

I recently saw on their website that they are still taking bar reservations for dinner. Has anyone done that?

Sheraton JFK wasn't bad and they had a park and fly rate.
The only bad part is the return. You have to take the train to the hotel pick up area. I hate hauling the luggage around so I usually get the car and circle back to pick up luggage and husband at the terminal.

Those are great, as always

LOL! I just love ya, girl!

I have not priced Veuve down there lately. It will taste better there at any price!

Congrats, MB. Glad to see you back. I hover here from time to time - next trip is this coming June. I cannot wait. Didn't you stay in Ambiance once? I think that convinced us to stay there about 8 years ago, and we are staying there for a second time this June. I never stayed at Ambiance, Ken, but ...

Thank you for saying so.
If photos could pay the bills I would be very happy.
Alas, I am back to the daily grind of BS!

I learned, while unemployed, that if I could afford it I would be perfectly content not working!
