Well you all should be proud of me I just booked my villa for our Nov.1-7 trip.
I have wanted to get back to stj since howie's bell was put at skinny leggs to ring it for him. and now I will.
we are doing a condo this trip. My daughter (27) and granddaughter (8) and myself are so excited. I have never done any of this before howie used to take care of all this stuff for us.

so we are staying at the coconut coast villas in turners bay. has anyone stayed there? please let me know if you liked it.
thanks for any input I can get.

Dear Howie's Sunshine (Cindy),

I am so happy that you are going to go back and continue the tradition which brought you and Howie so much joy. We loved Howies's posts, and subsequently, yours...

May you find a new kind of love for the islands with the rest of your family. And, let the love of the islands that you shared with your husband go on.

Peace, respectfully,

Marcia (Mrs. Pete)
p.s. Pete is my sunshine!

That's awesome. I am so glad to hear you are returning to a place that was so special to you both. Enjoy it & I'll be looking forward to hearing how it goes. How old is your granddaughter?

My mom and I will be going (with my hubby too) and two little ones in November and am always curious to see how it goes for others with kids!

Paul,[Howie]was the most STJ loving, nicest, positive person that I was ever acquainted with, briefly though it was. I've quietly acknowledged his bell more then once at Skinny's. I never met either of you, but my thoughts and prayers have been with you both.

Jorge, There may not be a STJ, as we've known it, when you're ready to move on.
