We arrive on the 29th. We are staying one night on STT and then heading for Coral Bay on the afternoon of the 30th. A little something to consider is it is Carnival on STT. The first week of May there are several day time events for Carnival that may effect your travel time to the airport for depart...

Re: No More Public Access at Hansen Bay Beach?

I love this Beach and 43 days out from being there I am very disturbed. Last year we were there and about 10 other people were on the beach. We got talking to a couple and someone overheard us. It turned out that every person on that beach lived within 40 miles of each other. Some in NH some in MA. ...

Re: SOS STT car rental advice

I spoke to the people at Amalie yesterday. They are having some problems with their e-mail. If you are waiting to hear from them and haven't go ahead and give them a call. They were very nice and thanked me for calling as from their end it looked like everything went out as expected.

Re: First Time Visit...

Cruz Bay has more late night goings on than Coral Bay. Coral Bay usually closes down around 10. Drinking in public is fine in the VI but remember NO glass on the beach, this is strictly enforced. The day after the race there is a recovery party at one of the beaches. I think someplace has a pasta di...

Re: A Gold Medal Performance

That was AWESOME!!! I love these types of stories. What the Cardinals did for this kid was incredible too. I have been hearing some great stories of High School kids being a lot more accepting of all types of people then it was when I was in High School. Here is one from Mass that warmed my heart. h...

I had a local tell me he has often seen them abandoned after the first switchback on the North Shore Rd. I can understand why.

Re: It's gonna be a great week!

The vow renewal is very nice. It's not religious, it's more about being reminded to value each other and to take time everyday to show your appreciation. It's a beautiful setting too and there are island photographers around capturing it. I have some friends that will be visiting for the first time ...

I just want the cooler to get my refrigerated food to our Villa. We usually pack food but this year we have a gift certificate to the Food Center. We will need to get our food from there to John's Folly.

Re: Phillip Seymour Hoffman

It's an epidemic here in NH. The police and media have been warning about a "Bad" batch of Heroin around. In the past week or so there has been an increase in OD's. It's sad and scary.

Re: Tillet Garden/Rhoda's Guest House

Thanks Shirley. I am leaning towards staying there. We are staying on our way to St.John. We plan on getting up in the morning and doing the Zip Line tour then a beach. We are hoping they will be able to hold our luggage while we do those things and then we can pick it up on the way to Red Hook.
