If you are not carrying on everything, carry on what you need (swimsuit, snorkel, mask, toothbrush). Just got back and didn't have luggage the first three days (thanks to AA)!!!! A bit of a pain in the a$$, but learned the hard way, you don't need much...........

Grab lunch at Skinny Legs once...the drive there is fun and the burgers are unbelievably good. Enjoy.

Enjoy every minute because before you know it you will be taking the walk of woe.

Get a smoothie from the smoothie truck early on as you WILL want them again.

Have a blast and stay left, mon :lol:
Showing my ignorance...where is the smoothie truck situated? This will be our second trip. The first one was a little over 10 years ago. Now that the kiddos are older we hope to make it a more regular event.

Centerline looking toward Coral Bay. You can't really see the truck in this pic, but it'll give you an idea of what to look for.

I don't know if Mark still works at the smoothie truck or not, but here's a pic looking back toward Cruz Bay.

This is the only shot I have of the smoothie truck. It's from a while ago. The canopy was a later addition. As you can see, development and upscaling has even touched the smoothie truck.

This vehicle is not to be mistaken for the smoothie truck, even though it no longer moves either.

Is this jeep still there? I don't know why someone would suddenly decide to move it after all that time. Unless someone thought a villa would be better use of that land.

Well, we finally made it!!! Arrived at our villa around 4pm after leaving the night before from Portland, OR at 10:30pm. It's been a long day but it's been far more than we expected. Thanks again to everyone and their helpful insite to help make this trip easier on us!! For now, it's off to pick up a few things at the market only to come for a dip in the pool and some drinks. We will upload photos tomorrow sometime.
