45 minutes is too short of time for a connection. MIA is a big airport and American covers a very long stretch of it. Take the layover, eat at La Carreta :) RickG turned us on to them and they do not disappoint. We normally end up with a similar layover out of Norfolk. It's not bad at all. Happy Pl...

I will give a thumbs up to Gift Hill. We've stayed at Palm Villa twice and the view is incredible! The sunsets are perfect any time of year. You can see way to the Northwest for summer sunsets and all the way to the Southwest for winter sunsets. The down side to Palm Villa is that the pool is alway...

As Mike and I get ready to head to Bill and Sandy's (friends from the forum) for the weekend I am remembering how we met back in 2004..............

Because of him and his love of the islands and peaceful nature we felt comfortable meeting ne...

Our favorite snorkels are Maho, Francis, and Little Lameshur. Maho we like to the right, Francis both sides, and Lameshur to the left. The snorkel at Waterlemon is awesome and the starfish you'll see make you forget about the depth. If you're into turtles hang out in the grasses at Maho and Francis...

Sounds good to me :) We all visit STJ with different plans in mind, and most times they work out. The only time we had an itinerary was our first trip. Our first day we loaded up our cooler with drinks and drove ALL over the island. Since then, NO PLANS is our attitude. You guys will enjoy and you'...

Hi Florida George!! Good to hear from you.
