Welcome, Pianogrl! The people on this forum have been so helpful to me - I'm pretty much a newbie, too. We've been the last 3 summers, 2 summers for a week and another summer for two weeks. We're going back for two weeks in July 08 and absolutely live for our STJ fix each year! You'll find that all of your questions will be answered on this forum, lots of good advice and fun people!
Thanks everyone for making us feel so welcome! We've got our flights, villa, rent car....now just learning from all you experienced STJ travelers & of course the hardest part: the wait!!! Countdown has definately begun.
