A warning is not needed here. Everyone knows about the handicapped parking laws. If there's a space that is for handicapped, it is for handicapped. If you park there, even for a moment, you get a hefty ticket. The warning is the fact that you read that in your driver's test study booklet. They didn'...

Is there no due process down there? Violation aside (there was clearly a violation) - doesn't the offender get a day in court, if they choose? Forcing someone to pay on the spot seems ridiculous. My son parked in handicapped spot while he ran into a pizza shop to pick up his order (in my car). Ticke...

Xislandgirl is correct. There is always a good deal of confusion about how it works. These villas are not being managed by various agents from whom you rent. There is ONE management company for a particular home, most likely. You may or may not rent from that management company. Many, many firms are...

Summer Place

Folks, I think I will try to spend this summer in the islands - STT and STJ. I am looking for a spot for 6 to 8 weeks - 2 bedrooms. I am also looking for a summer camp for my 9 yr old. Not sure if I will end up on STT or STJ, or both. A mix would be ideal. I work at home, so I'll need a place with a...

RickG, Yes, I am back from STT (last week - bummer)! As far as this forum goes, I always keep up! I am sorry that I missed the sign-up for the BDFT. Betty, Yes, son in college. I have the barren bank account and gray hairs to prove it. Call my bank and punch in my account number. All you'll hear is ...

Sophia (cat) is almost 2. She HATES to be left behind. She hides in under the bed and only comes out to eat, while we are gone. Everyone says "if we didn't see the food disappear, we woudln't know you had a cat". After we return, it takes 24 hours to coax her out. Look up the words "s...

Yep, been there. In my "island dreams", I arrive for vacation but somehow I miss doing all the things I want to do and then it is time to go home and I am like "wait! I didn't see or do anything!". Or, in other dreams, I am back in my home in Philadelphia and I realize that my va...

Hi. I've spent a week at this villa. I rented it from VIVA in June of 2004. Forgive my typing below- I am in a hurry to go out, but wanted to get this review up. Calicaribe is on "Contant Point". Cali is an elegant villa - with with details that show the builder's quality. The furnishings ...

Awesome trip report so far, Martini Girl. Thanks for the thumbs up to the in-villa chef meals. I've been debating about that for a while and needed a kick to do it.
