I had a feelling that many of the "oldies but goodies" had moved over to Facebook. I'm just not into Facebook at all and have resisted the whole F'in world over there but I might (just might) have to check it out. I guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy. I miss some of the old crowd too but th...

If you're staying at a villa, they will most likely be provided. If I had to buy chairs, I'd first to the the hardware store and second to the drug store. You can rent them at Trunk and Cinnamon.

I have to say I agree with CBama. Estate Fortsburg is a great villa. Also look at Bay Rum Breeze and Heaven's Gate http://www.caribbeanvilla.com/property/heavens-gate/ .

My family doesn't like the southshore location. We don't like the drive through town to go to the beaches. We much prefer the mid-island location so Great Turtle would be our pick of the two.

We have been a little slow lately in the trip report department. Thanks for taking us along. It sounds like you had a nice relaxing trip.

Casa Bueno is a great house but I have to say Bay Rumb Breeze is even better IHMO. We love this house and it's location. The views can't be beat and the parking is really super at this house. If you don't sleep in the upstairs bedroom you could avoid stairs except for a few down to the pool area. We...

Love it! Love it!! Love it!!! As usual just a fabulous trip report. Your niece and nephew are so lucky to have an Aunt Becky and Uncle John like you guys. Did you stay at Francis Bay Estate House?

I packed my own cloth bags that I use for my own grocery shopping here in Michigan. It's the responsible thing to do. I won't say that we didn't use plastic while we were there on STJ but it sure cut down on the bags that we did receive.

We will be back next June for our 3rd stay at Bay Rum Breeze. We've found our "perfect villa" up on Mamey Peak. The views are stunning and it's peaceful and quiet and the house has everything that we want in a villa including location, parking, pool, hot tub, fabulous kitchen. It's great f...

We always rent with St. John Car Rental. Cynthia is very efficient. You can park in the evening in their lot but we rarely to advange of this as we go during the off season and usually find parking elsewhere.

The air has been very hazy from the dust but today it's much clearer. Water clarity hasn't been too affected. It's very very dry here right now but we had a shower during the night which appears to have cleared the air.

See you soon.

I'm packed except for the things that I'll throw in my carry-on Monday morning. I'm already wondering what I've forgotten. I don't know why I'm particularly excited about this trip. Maybe it's because our little 7 year old granddaughter will be snorkling for the first time on this trip. Two more sle...

My parents came with us when we stayed there [/quote]

My husband and I stayed there last May and loved the house. Ellen the owner has been great to deal with too.

Jumbiegirl is my daughter. We are simply out of our skin excited about this trip. Three more sleeps !!!
