Re: New Ticker...Same Trip

Swimming with the fishes beats sleeping with them...unless you are one!

Re: Lurker with a question about Waterlemon Cay ;)

Just curious...why are the dinghies rented out of Cruz Bay only allowed to head along the North Shore as far as Waterlemon? I'd be a lot more interested if they allowed you to take the dinghy around the western and southern shores to the bays and beachheads that are much harder to access by land be...

Re: Lurker with a question about Waterlemon Cay ;)

As you said, Waterlemon is a haul from Cruz Bay (I believe it's as far as the dinghy companies allow you to go) and there's really no excellent snorkeling at Waterlemon/Leinster that can't be done from shore.

I'd go with your plan to only dinghy to the bays where you can beach the boat.

Re: iso Coral Bay villa w/short walk to shops

Amarilla Villa is isolated. I suppose you could walk to Shipwreck if you were motivated. Has a pool. The two main bedrooms are stacked atop one another in a building separate from the great room, but if that's not enough privacy there's a smaller third bedroom tucked away below the pool. Great villa...

Re: mailing a package to STJ

We've had a couple of packages sent via FedEx since we moved here. The first time, they couldn't find the address so they stalked Leslie on Facebook, saw that she volunteered at the ACC, and took it there. The next time the gal that delivers was able to call me, I gave her directions, and she brough...

Re: Sending a package ahead of time?

Probably a very stupid question, but where do you ship it to? The villa, or the management company? Check with the management company. Since physical addresses are rarely used, you would have trouble shipping directly to the villa anyway. If the management company says they won't hold it for you......

Re: Renewing Vows

Donna is correct. Not only that, Dennis tends to be a pretty windy beach compared to most of the others on the north shore.

Gibney might be a good option.

Re: Places we should not miss!

Stop signs.

Where the car in front of you stops so that the folks inside can let someone out/let someone in/talk to their buddy.

At the end of the road.

The waterline.
