MON MORNING BLUES BEACH PIC

Hey, I walk the dog in the morning!

She makes lots of comments and interacts with lots of the threads, but it takes a lot to get her to post. She, like 90% of the registered forumites, rarely posts. 20 posts works to about one per month.

The ratio of people who read but never register is even higher.

Cheers, RickG

Captainvic said it's been raining for 3 days....is he on STJ??? If so, OMG, does that mean major mosquitos in 7 days from then? We're heading down in 8 days, I am dead if there's an onslaught of mosquitos.

It rained a lot the week before we went - and they weren't bad at all (disclaimer - we are from Florida, where the mosquito is unofficially the state bird, so it may take more of them for us to consider it "bad").

I would go prepared to deal with them, but don't let thinking about them fill you with dread or anything.

Looking at the web cam it sure looks nice

Augie - too late! I am filled with dread. Last trip, I had 86 bites on just one of my legs...if you do the math, you'll see my reason for concern.
I will be showering in bug repellant...maybe I will start today. Will also keep rum punch by my side at all times to distract my itching.

Yes, I am on STJ. the weather finally broke yesterday afternoon.
It is just perfect now.

I have not experienced weather like this before, so I can't comment
on the bugs--except to say that the first few days before the rain, I
was a mosquito buffet. : (

Rum punch may be the antidote!

Think I heard somewhere that you can take a vitamin a few weeks before vacation to make you not "taste very good" to the mosquitos...vitamin b6 or 12? Not sure. Anyone else know?

Garlic and/or Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)
