We'll be going to the BVIs first and then to St. John the 22nd-July 3 with our 13 yr old and 16 year old girls.

Do people still meet at the Beach Bar on Sundays?

Agree with the others that you are not entitiled to the discount. By paying ahead, you were assured the villa of your choice. If you had waited you might have saved the $200, but someone else might have reserved it before you. That (the reservation/peace of mind) was "part" of what you pai...

Pickled Iguana Allow iguana to swim in tub of rum until thoroughly pickled. You will know when it is ready when it pees in the tub, starts cursing and trying to bum cigarettes. Remove iguana, reserve rum for later. Peel iguana carefully, saving skin for use as the ugliest cocktail purse ever. Chop m...

Just an update and not sure if anyone will see it but thanks ladies for all of your help. I went in for an ablation last week (with D and C and hysteroscopy). Long story short, the equipment did not fire. She said she could not get an airtight seal, she doesn't know why. But she did see a polyp in t...

What a beautiful photo!

Perfect! I agree with the others " the villa has three equal bedrooms for each couple, so we divide the price by three... but we wouldn't dream of charging extra for (insert teenager name here), he'll get his own bedroom but it isn't quite as nice as the one for all the couples." And agree...

I agree. It also completely changes the dynamics of the vacation. Will the price for the villa change? In that case it would make it very easy to bring it up.

P.S. It's your husband's job to bring it up

Wow, what a great start. Can't wait to start researching! Both places look fabulous. Jmq, my daughter will be 15 and there is a photo of a young boy that has a caption that he is 15....dangerous??? Ha ha. I think the photo must be old cause he looks about 10. We'll be going for 17 nights (ridiculous...

Hi, taking a stab at info anyone might have on links to a good agriturismo or villa. My parents have been to the same agriturismo (and are actually there right now) I think it is near Siena. We might go to that one, but it doesn't have a pool and I was just curious if anyone had a place they just lo...

yes please!

Not sure how the car rental companies would feel, but ideally there are a few in the back pocket in the seat. Just an idea as I never seem to have mine in my car.

Given the "quirkiness" of the car rental companies, I realize this idea is kind of stupid.

We also have had great success with Polar Bear/ Techi Ice combo. So good, in fact, that if you plan to cook any of that meat the night you get there, you're going to have a problem. Boiled shrimp might be a good meal because the rest will be rock solid. So just keep that in mind and plan accordingly...

I'm so sorry about your husband's passing. I have never been through anything like this, but I can say that since there are so many memories there that there is probably nothing that would make him happier than to know you are going. I've told my family dozens of times if I "go" that I exp...

We have been to Hawaii twice and honestly, my favorite purchases both times were $1.99 reusable bags from Foodland. They are really whimsical and decorated with all kinds of Hawaiian food, phrases, etc...! I bought some last trip to give to my friends as their souvenir from me. (Yes, I'm crazy)

needmesomesun, I'm not sure if the wait is because it is a "routine" ultrasound, where my doctor just needs a confirmation that my fibroids have grown, or if it is an excessive wait. I did call and ask for an earlier one and they said I could, but the doctor wouldn't be there that day. The...
