Re: Program for a video

I just got my first Mac a few months back and used imovie for my video. It came with the comptuer and was very easy to use. Anything I couldn't figure out like splicing music, I found a tutorial on utube. It was WAY better than the windows program movie maker.

Here is a link to the article where I saw Shipwreck was closing. http://newsofstjohn.com/2014/06/17/popular-cruz-bay-restaurant-to-close/ It was sad news!!

We're the same as the first post, USAir direct CLT-STT in the past, but CLT through MIA on AA more recently. We've also done RDU through MIA on AA as well.

Re: I'm in charge of our first trip beginning 6/14!

I'll send a vote out for Pickles in Paradise for a quick/cheaper dinner option, or even picking up lunch on the way to the beach. Its in Coral Bay. We stopped by there after a long beach day on a trip earlier this year for the first time and will most certainly be back. We took the sandwiches back t...

Re: Trip report: 9 more days in paradise

Re: Pull the trigger on August airfare?

I'm with Sherry, out of NC (CLT or RDU) 418 sounds like a steal. We paid 460 out of RDU for our trip coming up this spring, and 540 out of CLT in 2013.
