Sorry Jorge, you're 40some years too late. In the category of useless information that is for some reason buried somewhere in my brain, I recalled a local article from years ago about a guy who had just such a vehicle, production. He used to drive down to the river here in Cincy and take it in. Main...

We went last summer, couldn't get FF tix to STT, but could to SXM, so gave it a try. Overall we enjoyed it, compared favorably to StJ, nice people, but they are building HUGE resorts on some of the nice beaches which make them tough to get to unless you stay there. Technically the beaches are all pu...

We were also there on a cruise stop. Took a daysail on a catamaran, snorkeled at a couple of stops, got in a view of the Pitons from out on the water, very nice. Just did a brief walk into the shopping area by the port since we were sailing most of the time. Snorkeling was decent, all the locals we ...

OK, call me stupid, but on our last trip to StJ a couple of years ago I went out snorkeling and looked for it without success. I'll be headed back next June and would like to check it out. Is there any chance someone who's seen it could give me specifics as to how they found it? I read the book, fol...

After enjoying the Bongo blog, and staying on Maria Bluff the night the Bongo boys reported making the last quickie visit prior to beginning rental, (never asked, but we heard some music from up on the hill that sounded like drums of some sort, are we crazy or did they have some sort of inauguration...

Happy Friday captnkirk! While it's always great to see StJ pics, figure I'd 2nd the Go Bucks! Tomorrow in the state up north my youngest son will be marching in his final regular season game (he's a 4th year sousaphone player in TBDBITL). He dotted the i in the Shoe earlier this season and is one of...

I've got a 24 and a 22 year old. Good news, the 24 year old has acquired common sense! Actually the 22 year old has more or less always had it, didn't give us as many headaches, but the smart ass remarks just keep coming. At least they are both off the payroll... pretty much... 22 year old is a grad...

Our family sounds similar, though the ages are a little older. We've done 2 villa trips with our boys. First was St John, summer 2006, they were 20 and 22 and their 21 year old female cousin joined us. This past summer we went to Anguilla, without the cousin. On StJ we stayed at Villa Maria, which w...

Well, I'm currently scheduled for Wed out and back flights in June on Delta (thanks to FF miles - good news is I got Skysaver, bad news is it's on Wed.). Oh well, I'll take it. So, I did some checking. No Tuesday flights currently listed even through the winter, in season! But, they are listed in Ju...

Mark and Kygirl... Thanks for the responses. No need for details, but A/C in bedroom is a requirement for us. I didn't think it was at first, but it is ;-) If it wasn't, there are some north shore places I'd be on in a heartbeat, even though a little more expensive. Yes, I meant a view from the gril...

Hey MarkR and Kygirl, Thanks for the response. I'm also a midwesterner, Cincinnati, OH. Have a few Carib trips, cruises and villas, under our belt. Milking my FF miles, and next June will use them up. So I'm torn between keeping the cost down or spending a few extra $$$ and getting something really ...

To kygirl, I'm not the OP, but am currently looking around for a villa for just my wife and I for next June. St J Livin' and Island Dreams look similar and appear to be in the same vicinity and have caught my eye. Considering staying in Coral Bay vicinity (or Carolina/Bordeaux/etc. for easier combin...

CVG is Greater Cincinnati.
Actually an abbreviation for Covington.
Or as one of the local jokes goes...
You mean the Cincinnati Ohio airport that's down in Kentucky over by Indiana?

Greetings pipanale! No magic bullets here on the DL FF miles, but I can share a little experience in the hopes that it might be helpful. First, sometime this spring, (perhaps when DL came out of bankruptcy more or less), the availability of Skysavers tickets was changed/reduced. Based on looking on ...
