Re: Car Barge Update

fmzip: We're in a similar situation: Our flight back from STT is at 4:40, AA, and yep, we plan to be at the airport around 1:00ish.

Re: Car Barge Update

Why does American say 3 hours early?

For all you regular fliers, do you really show up 3 hours early for American ?

We are here til the 14th, hope they resolve it by then, we have a 4pm flight too but we planned to get on the 10am

Re: HIGH SEASON DREAMING

We're on the rock right now, day 4 of 14!

We'd rather go off season as soon as the rates drop, weather is still nice. Get Avila way up on a hill, beautiful breezes, can't be beat :)

Re: How to access Reef Bay from Parrot Bay?

Yes we are here at Palm Vista for two weeks. First time at this villa, great view, great breezes, no bugs! I was surprised no reviews of this villa on the forum. I'll be sure to write one. What were your thoughts on Little Palm? I understand last week wasn't the best weather week. I don't see Little...

Re: How to access Reef Bay from Parrot Bay?

Got it Kevin! I know we were on reef bay road as we are perched way up on Skytop at Palm vista I can see where we need to go. To the very right of us looking out toward the water is fish bay. Then around the point to the left would be parrot bay. We just went to far up and to the left on reef bay ro...
