Three Nights in February '09

I have to put up for 3 nights in February (2 adults 4 kids) after we get out of our villa. Any reasonably priced ideas (we stayed at Morningside on STT last year and hated the "big resort" feel after leaving beautiful STJ!)

I was there in Feb of this year. My verizon treo had very limited service (stayed in the Rendezvous/Ditleff area - high up). I did use the data line when I could get it (mostly Cruz Bay) and didn't notice any extra charge. I also used some texting and again, no noticeable change in my bill. My 12 ye...

Well - I pulled the trigger. Thanks for your help! I couldn't bring myself to pay over $700 a seat, so we extended our stay for 3 nights and I was able to book Tues/Tues (14 nights)for $370 a ticket R/T. MUCH BETTER. Now I need to find a decent place to put up for 3 nights with the family. Any ideas??

Flights - Opinions/guesses needed

Okay - so I am an idiot. I booked my villa for next February (Presidents Week) and "waited" to get a good airfare from Boston to STT. That was $200 per ticket lower ago . . . I am now looking at $700 a head (I have 6 people - my wife and I, along with 4 kids). Shoudl I book now or wait it ...

Bamaggie - Thanks for the response. I found that my family spends most of the days out at the beaches/trails exploring and snorkeling. The villa gets its best use (by me anyway) from about 4 in the afternoon through a late night dinner outside. Was there a breeze through the villa or was it pretty s...

Hi there! Just a word of warning on shipping. I sent all of our fins, bug spray, some lotion and a few other things "ahead" this trip. I sent it about a week early via Priority Mail USPS. When I got down there, I discovered my box was sent back to my office in MA. Reason? No idea. By then ...

Hey All, Just back! Wow - the weather still stinks in New England! Anyway, We thought the safari truck was great. That hairpin at Peter Bay is tough in ANY vehicle in the rain. My safari was a Chevy S10 cab with 4wd. We had 4 little kids, 2 adults in the back with "Dad" as the driver. It w...
