We are splurging and staying at Island Stones next June...yippee!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone for all the suggestions during the search. They will allow our size group and are waiving the additional persons fee so while it's still over budget, it made it a good deal!

Hey CBama- where in AL are you? I used to live in Montg and went to AU. Have some really good friends in Wilsonville that travel to STJ with us and are nutso about it, too. They'll be down there with us again this Feb!

Haven't booked air yet. It's not outrageous but not yet what I want to pay! We got a super deal when we went this past May (I had booked almost a year in advnace because it was such a steal).. $230 RT including all taxes. I know I won't get that again but would like to stay in the 300s.

You are so welcome- you will absolutely love it.
We're playing the airfare waiting game for next July, too....

I am sooo jealous, you have already selected your villa for next June! We are planning our 2nd trip next summer probably June, maybe early July like last year, but we can't book a villa until January/Febuary when we know how many teammates will earn the trip.
Island Stones is one at the top of my list, if we need a villa with that many bedrooms. Affraid to book too large of a villa, but also affraid my favorites will be unavailable when I know the number of bedrooms needed. I notice it is booked all but the last week in June.
I am starting to drive myself crazy, checking availability on my short list of villas and hoping that they remain open!
Enjoy your planning and stay at Island Stones...I will watch for your TR, but our trip dates are about the same so it won't do me any good this time around...but there will always be a next trip!
