Have to agree with a few of yous folks about hitting Cost U Less- we grab a few things there, alright,- salad dressings, soda,water,...but honestly don't go too crazy because we never know what provisions will already be at the villa from the owners or even leftovers from recent visitors. Don't get me wrong. We are just getting off of a flight,( undoubtedly without much sleep) and after we walk down the steps from the plane and cross the hot tarmac, we're revitalized with excitement about what our upcoming week will show us. That said, we just kinda' fly by the seat of our pants and splurge on a bunch of stuff; rum, vodka, drink mixers, breakfast stuff, rolls, bread, spaghetti's & sauce, etc...hell,- vaca is on!!! (besides,- doesn't everyone have a "spaghetti night", or is it just us?!?) Then I try my damnedest to hit Duffy's Love shack for wings before we jump on the car ferry, go up top and drink a chilly beer and feel the breeze of re-entry to STJ. Friggin' WONDERFUL experience every time...
Like most of you, we all end up hitting the market almost everyday on STJ to constantly get the daily needs, anyway,(ice, salad, more beer, juices...) I still like the idea of bringing down a soft-sided cooler with burgers, steaks, dogs, porkroll, bacon, frozen oj from concentrate, etc... so's to have our place for the week a little stocked. NOT so we save money, but moreso for the "less time at/getting to & from the market" situation.
I'm rambling...sorry.
Larry's Landing?!?! Found that joint on a Thursday night after I booked a parasailing trip for the next morning at 9 a.m. ... :shock: :oops: :roll: Drank @ 2 bottles of dark rum with Gary from Mixology Warehouse. Thank GOD I survived and can laugh about it now.
Hope I helped, doubt it...
All the same-
Smiles!
