Thanks Becky! Beautiful photos. Our family had a fun trip to the Southampton Princess several years ago now and I would like to return. I just love all the pastel colors in Bermuda!

Thanks Terry! We are looking forward to both a Colorado ski trip and a trip to STJ this winter. I love both of them (though if I had to pick, I love the STJ trip more). Colorado is a beautiful state--I have never made it to Wolf Creek as its a little out of the way but the snow totals are always phe...

I was very much a fan of Larry's Landing. They had some great live music, and we had some fun nights there. Maybe the "pour your own" strategy didn't pay----better to "water it down" as other bars do:) Anyway, I am very sorry to hear it is closed.

Love your reports, Becky! What a nice Aunt and Uncle you are. The tuna and grilled mahi shots made me really really hungry!

I am sorry to hear about this. Isn't Aswad Pickering part of Inner Visions? I really enjoy their music.

Thanks Lex. I'm definitely in the blow them up category. I'm sure a local architect could design something that works for the lifeguards and is more appropriate for its surroundings.

I love Charleston too---what a charming place. Would second the rec for Quebec City, if you haven't been recently. The old city is great for walking and interesting architecture, and the restaurants are surprisingly good. Fairly narrow window of good weather though, so I would try to go by the end o...

Provo is different from St. John, but a beautiful place. Pluses to Provo: beachfront accomodations, gorgeous, long beach to walk along, excellent snorkeling and diving, clear water. Negatives: much less of a Caribbean vibe---more resorty, no hills, the interior of the island is not great. I would ag...
