Re: Trip Report December 3 - 10

Thanks for info on snorkeling Franks bay! I think we might give it a try. I would love to stay at Gallows sometime. Right now since we come for 3 weeks it is over our budget. On my bucket list!

Re: Trip Report December 3 - 10

Thanks for your trip report. You must have started coming the same time as us. This Jan will be our 10th time in 9 years. We have never snorkeled by Gallows or Franks bay. Where is the best place to snorkel there?

Re: Car rental companies demanding letter from insurance com

We have rented from Courtesy nine times. We have always given him proof of insurance and have had no problems. We have always been treated great. He even gives us a discount if we pay cash instead of charging it. They feel like part of island family when we arrive each year.

Cindy: Wow, I'm impressed! After what has to be a very early rise and a long day of travel from Indiana, a taxi across STT, the ferry to St. John, getting your rental car, driving to and unloading at your villa, and driving out to Salt Pond, you are still considering a dark out and dark back Ram He...
