At least the "researcher" got a nice trip out of the deal.

A fine group of humanitarians there. Half seem to care more about the fish than the people of the VI. The other half didn't like the prices they paid and feel that the people of the VI should be punished with hard times.

see the other thread on villa pricing, there's some commentary there by me and others on the economy.

Maybe some of the people on this forum who do enjoy VI vacations can add some positive comments to that thread??

I posted something, but it hasn't been approved yet. I am not sure how long that usually takes.

Ruth...have you noticed a sharp decline in your business? I know people just aren't spending right now. Contractors up here are really hurting. People who planned to do major renovations are afraid to spend money. It all filters down.
I, for one, will do my best to bolster the V.I. economy when we're there!!
P.S. When I saw the topic my first thought was, "Aren't most virgins depressed?" Sorry. Just had to throw that in... :wink:

Well whoever took the pic of my girls on Salomon didn't do them any justice Jeez send me down I'll get some good ones.
If they think it's bad now :shock: were only getting started, sure hope I'm wrong. I follow this stuff way to much, but theres alot more coming down the pipe that the average person isn't even aware of yet. Not that I'm average below in most aspects :lol:
