Villa gravity is when you just want to lime around the villa and don't leave

Ya, waterguy has it. Imagine the villa as a black hole that one day does not let anything leave. Also known as "working on the tan lines."
Cheers, RickG

Sounds just right to me, Rick! I was the planner with my flock of 2 sheep following me. We did an awful lot! I wanted to see EVERYTHING and we pretty well managed to do that, but now I need another trip just for some serious limin' 
I think you've got a good balance going there!

Villa gravity can really get a hold of me but i am a very laid back person! I hate having too much plan and I like to be able to do my own thing! When I want to be with the group great and when I want alone time great too! Our last trip was just right!

I am the one renting Eaglesnest the week after you (from Fairfax, VA). We were considering getting some steaks and a pork tenderloin at Omaha Steaks and have them provide the styrofoam cooler. If you get a chance, let me know how the cooler thing works and of course, thanks in advance for sharpening the knives!

You do know that Rick traditionally has a mumbly-peg tournament on the deck the last night of his villa stays, don't you?
So I wouldn't count on those knives being too sharp!

You're too funny! Yes, I will have my sharpening stone.
I brought a cooler for the first time for Thanksgiving last year to hold most of a pre-cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 24. It worked out so well that I'm going to do it again. We used a 36 quart Extreme cooler filled with frozen food and duct-taped closed. It came through absolutely frozen solid. If the styrofoam coolers from Omaha are sturdy you should be fine. You may want to pack the cooler in a cardboard box.
Bringing a cooler violates my carry-on-only rule. But, the folks that we are traveling with are checking luggage, so I would not save time by not checking luggage. I will carry-on everything that I cannot live without: snorkel gear, bathing suit, sunglasses.
My lover and I are staying over a couple of extra days in Cruz Bay. If you stop by the Beach Bar on 11/4 stop by and say hi!
