Re: Program for a video

I used a windows program last time, but now I have a Mac and have no idea. Anyone know of a program that can be used with a Mac that is easy??? Chica, it was part of the windows package and I just followed directions. Sorry I don't remember what it was called. My old computer died not longer after I...

Re: Anywhere to buy a camera on island?

On my last trip I had a brand new D20 that went blank in the middle of my snorkel about 5 days in. Looked like water seeped in and it was fine at the beginning of that snorkel so I KNOW I shut everything good. Had my old D10 as back up and the same darn thing happened to it the next day. :( Luckily ...

Re: Little Palm Villa

For one couple you might consider Sun, Moon, and Stars up Calabash Rd. The views were stunning, it was quiet - top of the road except for the castle, with good AC in BR. I loved it up there!! We wanted to try the "sunset" views this time, but I would absolutely stay there again!

Re: Coral Bay Villa Choice Help needed

I don't know anything about these houses either, but I have been only in the summer months and there is NO way I'd stay without AC. It's just too hot! I learned on a trip to Kauai that no matter what people say about trade winds or ocean breezes I must have AC to sleep. It wasn't comfortable! I thin...

Catch an 8:20 flight?

My sisters may possibly join us in STJ for our next trip. One is looking at a STT - DFW flight return at 8:20 in the morning on American. Is that doable catching the 6 AM ferry on a Wednesday morning????

Re: New Target swimsuit TV ad in STJ?

When I saw the ad I told my husband that I thought it was filmed in St. John. He said no. I was right!! I do recognize "my" island! :)

Re: Airfare rate thing? lol

Thanks lprof! My retirement income won't allow me to spend the amount of time I'd like on SJ, but I think there's something else for me out there. I am just done with public education in Texas! Students, parents, things have changed so much since I began 37 years ago and even in the past 12. Our Oct...

Re: Airfare rate thing? lol

If you go to the matrix sight and put your length of stay in you can pull up the month and it will show you the lowest airfare for each day of the month for your amount of time. You can check for June, July, and maybe early August. This is my first "free" fall. I am a teacher, but am retir...

Re: Sea glass upper Carolina, villa Jumbie coral bay? Help!

Oh and Villa Jumbie is a great house. Fully air conditioned, great pool, porch, and view. With the east facing windows you will wake up early and I would've liked a little more comfortable mattress, but I'm PICKY! Loved my week there. I don't know anything about the other place, though.

Re: Sea glass upper Carolina, villa Jumbie coral bay? Help!

Pam, I found airfare on AA for $518 RT with good times: leaving DFW @ 5:30 and arriving on STT at 12:30 PM for October so keep looking. You should be able to shave at least close to $1500 off of that. My husband has been getting notifications for close in air fares - some below $400. Set up email al...
