Mary Beth, you are no less woman - we all know you have your own girlie quirks - it's just not shoes! :D

Flip Flop - this is OT, but I never really thought of myself having a very southern accent, but when I spoke to Cpt. Clark's wife down in STJ on the phone the other night she said, "Clark didn't tell me you were a southern girl!" It must be worse than I thought. :oops:

No- I guess I mis-spoke yesterday. I am a girlie girl when it comes to some things...shoes, bikinis, shoes. I am a freak when it comes to a clearance sale too. Last year I went to Boscovs for one pair of flip flops. I walked out with 7 pairs of flip flops/sandles for a grand total of $65.00 and that haul included one pair Liz Claiborne and one pair Franco Sarto. I think I did pretty good. Bathing suits too. I brought one in almost every color last year and wore them all, with matching cover-ups. I consider shopping to be a sport of sorts. Yeah- I got a problem :roll:
When will I see St John again?

Sneakers for travel days, tevas for hiking to Waterlemon, Salt Pond, or Honeymoon and Chacos everywhere else. Gotta leave room in the bag for the rum!

Ahh Mary Beth! No shoe addiction?? Well I guess we all have our own addiction. I LOVE shoes. The first time we head "south" I had about 7 pairs of sandals. Did I wear them all? No. I have managed to cut down each trip and will probably only take 2 pairs in 21 DAYS!!

NO we won't kick you out of the club. The only thing I like better than flip-flops is bare feet. If I could get away with it I'd never put a shoe on in the summer (I suppose the results of being raised at a marina). So ... while on STJ I am either barefoot (or is it barefeeted -- where is the grammar nazi when you need them) or in flip-flops!

I have not read any of the previous posts (I'm in a rush) so I might be repeating information...all I know is that Pete suggested I post something about this because he knows my packing issues and it all revolves around my DANG shoes so he suggested I pipe in here. I pack, at a MINIMUM, 8 pairs of shoes. You have your white heels, your white strappy heels, your black strappy heels, your flip flops of all colors/comfort levels, etc. Shoes are the only thing I can't not pack.

I too have a shoes fettish...my SO always calls me Imelda only I only have about 2 pairs of "dressy" shoes cuz I HATE to dress up.

Now tennis shoes (sneakers) and tevas are a whole 'nother story.

I used to bring one pair of tennis shoes but don't even bother with them anymore.

For me this year, it will probably be:

1 pair Keens
1 pair Tevas
1 pair Flip-Flops
1 pair birkenstocks (not positive about this one)

Trying to pack lighter this time. Will probably leave my "dressy Tevas" at home. My friend cracks up every time I refer to my "dressy Tevas" and says it's a total contradiction, but I am sure you guys know it's not.

I am guessing my tevas and a few pairs of flip flops! I hate to want to wear something and not have it. Flip Flops pack small!

I would definitly go barefoot everywhere if it were allowed! I hate having anything restricting on any part of my body!
