People who get it know that STJ is basically the omelet of vacations. When it's all said and done, it's awesome and the trip of a lifetime, but you're going to get messy doing it and you might as well embrace the mess (whether the mess is heat, rain, mosquitos, sand, tardy restaurant service, a chec...

November 29th-December 6th .

While I had nothing near this horrific happen, I decided that after my second trip with Spirit in 2011, that it would be my last and I have not strayed. Guess I'm stuck with US Scareways. Got tix with a stop in Charlotte for $534pp. I will take it! Oh, and I know what you mean about the room they st...

I personally think it used to be worse. We always saw a few homeless people sleeping in Franklin Powell Park. They put "siderails" on the park benches with the renovation of the park. Even paradise has it's quirks...

I love Da Livio's thin crust pizza, across from The Lime Inn. Delicious! Also, Joe's Rum Hut has a pretty good pizza too.

That is great news about the ferry leaving at 5:30pm! I hope it stays that way. It will be a no brainer which day to go next trip.

Space heater on full tilt boogie here in Michigan!

Marcia, that was very well said! One can only take on so much.

This post got me thinking about all of the forumites I have had the pleasure of meeting and who were the first ones. I can't even remember clearly back that far, but one year that stands out in my mind is November 2007. We met Mr and Mrs Captain Jay, Marybeth and Charlie, and Pam and John from NY. W...

Woooooo-hoooooo! Congrats!

Sounds like you had a great trip and seeing friends there makes it all the better :D . I have never been in high season, but think I will stick with shoulder season when we usually go. I agree, Deli Grotto is good but Sam and Jacks is excellent! The Hammy Sammy is delish! It has the crispy french fr...

If you are staying at a villa, you may be able to mail it directly to the villa company. I would definitely get it in the mail tomorrow! We stayed at Grande Bay who used St John Villa Company. I mailed it to them, and it was at our condo when we arrived.

Great link! I bookmarked it, thanks!

Now I am thinking I may have jumped the gun for our flights! I paid $534 RT with taxes etc for the end of November out of Detroit (Thanksgiving weekend). I thought that was pretty good and I haven't been watching the fares. Last year we paid $595. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about fares ...

Toni, I love that sarong! Will have to check that out next time!
