Anxiety attacks, no but I have noticed blood pressure spikes. Here is what I have chosen since my situation is not clear cut. First thought it was perimenopause induced. After pursuing some swelling in my neck, we have determined that I have papillary carcinoma (a very slow growing tumor on the thyr...

Girlie Off Topic Post

Perimenopause and sleep issues. I swear I am wide awake from 1 am to 5 am. Suggestions? I am exhausted and missing too much work as a result. I am allergic to benadryl so that is not an option, no caffeine after noon is already a rule. :(

Flip, charming hotel in Seville named Casa de la juderia. On a tiny alley so small that guys come out and fold up your mirrors to get the car into the garage! It will astound you, makes St John driving seem simple. Hotel is walking distance to most everything.

Always such a joy to witness an "ordinary" person display their extra ordinary talent! So happy for her! Love the wicked grin from Simon when he realizes just how good she is.

My kids love making indoor tents. A blanket and a few chairs are all it takes. Also, if you have a mall nearby, you can let them burn off some energy running in the play areas or even from one end of the mall to the other.

Okay, I might have a few things to add. I have a neuromuscular disease and going to St John has been getting more challenging for me. Here is what challenges me and what I have found. My biggest difficulty is anything that requires fighting gravity since my muscles are so weak, specifically stairs a...

I have always wanted to go to Gibney beach but am handicapped and don't want to walk down there only to find I can't make it back up the hill. I wish exceptions could be made for people that have accessibility issues. So many beaches are already out of the question, it would be nice if some that cou...

I have my eye on one which looks like it would meet all of your criteria, Villa Amani. I have had my eye on this one and even took a spin around to see it last trip. Everything I can see from the pictures and from the outside of the villa looks great! When I have the right size group, I will try it.

Mike,
So sorry for your loss, I can not imagine losing one of my sisters. I am so pleased to hear that you were sent a sign that she was going to join your Dad and sister. Who knows, maybe she will finally make that trip to St. John with you...
Peace

Rachel took us to the airport yesterday, her brother passed away last week. She is such a good woman and knows she will see him again. My heart breaks for her pain but I am in awe of her beautiful spirit!

We stayed at Eaglesnest the week after Rick G. We loved the location and the house was a little worn but comfy. The two main bedrooms are on either side of the living room with interior access, we liked this because we have little kids. There is a lovely deck on main level. To get to the pool you ha...
