Re: villa recommendations

Check out Le Lapin II. It has an interior staircase and a gate at the pool. It also has a large shaded porch.

Re: Shipping Food Items Prior to Arrival

We have shipped via US Priority Mail using the USPS boxes at a fixed rate. I would not do general delivery to the St. John Post Office, too many lost packages. It is worth calling Connections to have them talk you through the process.

Re: Lime Out VI

The Rich that is running Lime Inn is the son-in-law of Rich Meyer, married to their daughter Chelsea. I understand they bought the restaurant from Rich & Chris.

Re: Lime Out VI

Think of a large floating platform with dinghy dock, swim up, bar and food at Hansen Bay. I talked to Richard, the co-owner of Lime Inn / Lime Out, about the project over Halloween. It is a bigger moored platform with significant solar, power storage, and propane for the kitchen. He will have heads,...

They were doing serious demolition over Halloween. With that kind of work you have to anticipate unanticipated delays!

Halloween Peeps on Maho Thursday November 1

If you're on island, join us for a beach day at Maho beach on Thursday November 1. We'll be on the right/east side near the large parking lot. We usually have a great turnout of the annual Halloween krewe!

Re: Condo, Jeep, Flights...Booked!!!

So glad to hear you are heading back! I hear you, flights are still pricey post-IrMaria. Instead of flying from Charleston, we are wrapping travel to DC for business in so that we can get cheaper flights. When we move to Marathon, FL we'll likely take the cheap bus to Miami instead of flying from Ke...
