thanks folks for thoughts and encouraging words. sorry to have vented but smoking and cancer have taken on a new meaning. frankly cancer has taken on a new meaning to us. never realized how many people have been so severely impacted but the horrors of cancer.

while mack will be moving to a new seniors only comm early dec i had hoped to talk bride into coming back nov or dec with promise we'd stay at gallows. that way she could walk to meals/happy hr and she wouldn't have to travel rds. unfortunately we got a sh*t load of lemons in early sept, as ann was ...

bs you'll have some wonderful southeast, southern and sw views but i believe you will miss sun setting (as compared to colorful clouds) in july. that time of yr sun appears to set north of stt and that view will be blocked by south flank of gifft hill. with the views you'll have great decks for wini...

I've decided it's the water that we enjoy at stj or any island, beach, lake, water destination. stj has some of the prettiest water and beaches & water vistas I've encountered, BUT 90% or more of our trips involve water locations and stj is only a small but regular part. there is something sooth...

morning ehrin. by the 16th yall will have been married over a week and probably still speaking. hope you have a beautiful wedding day. sounds like your interests about same as ours. bryan says he defers to what guests want so guess we have votes to set agenda. sounds like you got the island down but...

congrats ehren on upcoming marriage. i look fwd to meeting you and bride. hope wedding is after our happy journey since once you see what 48 yrs of marriage to our respective wives has done to us, one of you might bolt! as a seasoned (well more welldone) stj visitor would be happy to respond with su...

now we won't give up. we'll circumnavigate stj if we have to rent a dinghy with one of those outboard thingies though I feel confident someone will soon signup. latest report from bryan at busybee is had a few tire kickers just no plastic to assure trip. he reiterated that he gets lots of last minut...

I've been away with entire family to Jamestown/Newport ri. what a wonderful place to vacation. like stj there's water everywhere though very cold, snorkeling in wet suits (really scuba diving), ferries, sailboats, sunrises & sunsets and I should have packed more money. I missed mack and he says ...

nancy, after you continue past salt pond bay parking pavement will end at rocky dirt continuation up a hill. follow and rd becomes concrete for ways with couple of switchbacks and then ends in flat area with canopy over rd. 1st beach on left is great lam, beach is very rocky. keep going along rd for...

mike, i haven't had any indication of anyone signing up, but you would get us closer to the 4 minimum. perhaps your interest will encourage another to join us, or should i say, join the trip! welcome aboard. also bumps the string up. come on folks, i know mack, mike and i not only ones who will be o...

if anyone is interested mack and I will be back on island 7/10 to 7/17 and I have another thread entitled "back by popular demand" that no one is reading. we'd love to have 2 to 4 formites join us for the snorkel trip of a lifetime. on 7/16 we will board the nautical vessel Busy Bee at the...

cm, at least someone is paying attention. promise to post daily since at my age may not live to post when we get home. I'm not going to desert this thread but am going to start a new one to solicit up to 4 forks to join mack and me (wife's and English teacher and she sometimes checks my work bit not...
