USVI-On-Line

Thanks everybody for the great shopping sites! Love Carabella and Eliza B...my trip had best hurry up and get here before I spend all my money!

Gosh, I haven't ordered from Spiegel in a long time. Used to all the time, but haven't received any catalogs for years. I kinda forgot about them, and I'm gonnna check out their website now. I was in Penney's the other day, and all their swimsuits were 30% off already! Bought one (tankini) and a cute coverup. They had lots of separates, and a black bottom (I like the skirted ones)is great to wear with several different tops.

Wow - these are great sites with so much cute stuff. I forgot to mention a site that I came across and will probably order at least one suit from - www.swimsuits.com. They have some collections that have every imagineable combination of top and bottom styles and pretty materials. I like the Blue Sky brand.

My husband is out car shopping so I am going to do some on-line shopping for our trip. I also wanted a strappy sun dress and some of these sites have that too. I live in the DC suburbs and have tons of shopping available, but I don't like going to the malls very often. I will take Gromit's idea to look at Target since its close by. I didn't realize the stores already had swimwear since I don't shop much. My husband thinks I am missing a female gene since I am not into shopping except once in a while (like right now!).

Try duct tape, its easier to do on your own. You could even do it at a job site when things are slow!

Cheers, RickG

Ow, ouch...did everybody else just cringe when they read this? Of course, hubby always told me there were 1001 uses for duct tape!!!

Or a propane torch would work to Then you would need Bongos ball washer

Hey, that works even faster than duct tape when I've tried it. Of course, that was on a freshly killed hog...

Cheers, RickG

I had the same problem before our trip last summer. I wanted a bikini/2-piece suit that I could snorkel in and would be comfortable enough to wear all day. I ended up finding a suit I absolutely LOVE (called "Calypso"in the Aquatic Fitness collection) at the Speedo site:

Rick G and Jorge, is that referred to as "manscaping"?

Jorge, me neither! I asked her today the exact dates of the Nov. trip. May have to crash it and that is not above us with them.

To all others Re: swimsuits---I love those Speedo swimsuits, too. My last 2 suits have been speedo and they don't resemble the men's version. Well maybe the bottoms, but what women's bikini doesn't?

kellee, I think T is there the same time as me. I get there on the 23rd (Friday) and I think she's getting there the 24th. We start with 2 nights on STT so we are on STJ starting the 25th.

mary beth, I haven't even talked to my husband about November and I may have to wait until after the May trip to spring that on him---and if all of the stars are aligned...girl, I may meet you in person!
