I seem to recall parking the Jeep locked and dropping the keys in a slot. Why not give them a call or e-mail?

Try C & C.We used them one time and were very satisfied. I've also read good reviews on them on this board.

We used C & C on one visit. They were very accommodating when our flight was delayed. Gave keys to the greeter and we did the paperwork the next morning.

Another thing to consider is the ground clearance especially with 5 passengers and luggage. We had both a Liberty and 4 door Wrangler on one trip and the Wrangler easily cleared certain rocks on the unpaved drive to the place that we were staying.

Here's a thought. Rotisserie chicken from Starfish, Bread from Baked in the Sun, and some Josephine's Greens.

Just a reminder: Connections is only open until 1 on Saturdays so if arriving on Saturday you need to arrange for someone to pick it up. The villa management company did it for us.

We have T-Mobile but use an AT&T Go Phone on ST. John. Much better reception than T-Mobile there. Cheap solution and gives you a spare phone.

We ran into this problem on the last trip. Hindsight I should have included some knives in the box that I shipped. Anything would have been sharper than what we had.

We stayed at Creolla on Ajax Peak in March and were very comfortable without air. That area gets some serious breezes and can be chilly in the evening.
