My husband and my friend's husband dove with Low Key in Dec. '07 and said the crew was great. My husband is an experienced diver, but our friend had to complete his open-water certification, which he did with Low Key. Then they both dove the wreck of the Rhone and loved it. Both men commented that ...

There are some pretty funny lines there, but only about 3 of them have anything to do with what really happened on the play. As much as I didn't like Howie Meeker when he was on Hockey Night in Canada, he used to have one of the most descriptive lines of all time in: "He went around him like a ...

Hey, you gotta be tough to take the cold! That being said, we sometimes wonder why we live here ... but then again, we just look around (see Vicki's pix) and wonder why we'd live anywhere else!!

Besides, it just makes the trips to St John and the Caribbean that much more meaningful.

Re: Banff National Park

So glad to hear you enjoyed coming up to the Great White North. Your photos are fantastic! Bet you didn't know our water had so many different shades of blue too? It's just a bit cooler than the Caribbean waters though. :shock: :shock: The weather was less than stellar (mostly cloudy and snowed on u...

The flash earth one is great! I've never seen that before, but the image of Virgin Grand Estates is the best I've seen yet. Villa South Palm isn't under clouds!!

I wish I had some online. My son gives me a hard time because I'm always taking sunset pictures on vacation. Not being a morning person, I have to get my color fix when the sun goes down. Here's one from our one and only trip to St John (so far!). http://www.buffettnews.com/gallery/albums/userpics/2...

It was our first time on St John in February and not really knowing any different we tipped our greeter (Tommy). We called him from St Thomas and he met us at the ferry dock. He showed us the way to our villa (South Palm) and gave us the grand tour of the place and the facilities. He then gave us a ...

We're going to Vegas again to see Jimmy on Oct 25 (7 of us altogether). Have some friends that saw him in Boston last September and had a great time. As for Scarlet Begonias, check out the Live at Wrigley Field DVD (also available in CD) or the Live at Fenway Park CD/DVD. He played it when we saw hi...

Thanks Lo in VA. We've been to see Jimmy in Vegas a couple of times now and always have a great time. No tailgaiting as such, but they have a great street party beside the Margaritaville Cafe. It starts about noon and lasts all afternoon; live music, drinks, food and lots of fun. Then we head over t...

Would love to take you up on that, but we're going to see him in "Vegas, baby!" At least 7 of us are going from Alberta this year ... maybe more to follow.

Have a great time at the show ... is tailgaiting a big part of the Nissan shows?

Like a lot of others that I've read, I too check the forum once or twice a day, but don't usually have much to add. We've only been to St John once (Feb '08 ) but can't wait to get back there ... we definitely "get it". Maybe after a few more trips, we'll be more knowledgeable, but for now...

Don't know about renting on St John ... we rented a 4 door and a 2 door from Budget at STT for 6 of us (other than a delay getting our vehicles, no fault of theirs, they were great). We found the 4 door had lots of room; we even put all 6 of us in it when we went out for dinner ... 2 in the front, 3...
