A favorite moment, and for whatever reason one I recall vividly, came about like this. After a cruise to STT (no STJ), and a short stay on STT (day trip to STJ), we finally we did a villa stay on STJ, south shore with a view of STT. Having a great time, relaxing, no kids, snorkeling and beaches, wha...

Interesting... so what do WE do?

Our upcoming trip to StJ will be our 4th villa trip, 3rd to StJ - the other was Anguilla, these have all been over the last 8 years. We typically eat lunch out and breakfast and dinner in, but don't bring stuff, we buy it local. We just eat something simple like cereal or a bagel for breakfast. Dinn...

Grandma had the kids, my wife's first night away from the little tikes, which was good ...

OT - debit/credit card comments...

As the person using the card, you have certain protection when using a credit card vs. a debit card. Couple of examples, one of my kids once got charged $77 instead of $7 at a subway on his debit card, operators finger moved a little slow I guess... he didn't notice at the time of the transaction an...

Just to clarify for folks - my comments above were in reference to flights out of CVG on the pricing!!!! Hopefully that was clear. For those in other locations, it may be hard to appreciate but CVG is a unique departure airport (along with a few others, but we're #1!). While not a road warrior, I’ve...

Shari, I'm also in Cincinnati and my wife is a school teacher, so our travel is limited to times like spring break and summer. I'm paying $15 each for our June trip* *full disclosure, that's $15 in taxes since I'm using FF miles... :-) Seriously, over the last several years I've flown from CVG to SJ...

Hey Jorge, I don't have enough business sense to advise anyone, but diversification is always good, IMHO. You could get the car/boat rental going, offering your superduper new version as well as the older, classic model to appeal to a broad clientele - AND fire up the MILF bar. I'm sure if both are ...
