Re: Winter Travel Quandry

What a great quandary! Lucky Duck! I follow a lot of the previous posts' suggestions. One I'd like to pass on that was mentioned by RickG is to pack a shovel in your car for winter travel periods. He's right, it can be miserable digging out what the plow left behind. I don't bring all that warm stuf...

Re: Looking forward to PBJs and Pringles...

Yes! Yes! Yes! When in St. John that peanut butter and jelly every single day for 8 days tastes absolutely delicious! Man, life is good sitting on a St. John beach eating the most simple foods. I can totally relate!

Re: Kayak and Mangrove snorkel

Thank you for posting your experience and photos. I have always wanted to snorkel the mangroves, but have always feared I would be claustrophobic. Even though I've snorkeled many times, that first 10 minutes underwater is a challenge. I have to talk myself through it with deliberate breathing each a...

Re: Pic's (mostly) Pics & Report - August 2013

I certainly did enjoy reading (looking at) your report. Such incredible shots! You must be a very (VERY) patient snorkeler. I thought I was, but after reading your report, I've come to the conclusion that I'm not. Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences.

Re: $50 Extra/Ticket to Avoid MIA?

I heard undesirable stories as well, so I too tried to avoid MIA. But one time our flight was cancelled out of ORD and they put us on a different airline that went through MIA. I was pleasantly surprised with MIA. I found it a nice airport with an easy connection. I thought it was a nice location to...

Re: Honeymoon to Salomon, walk ? snorkel?

We were a group of three. My two friends walked it. Said it was super easy. I intended to walk it with them, but only had flip flops on. I'm super clumsy...twist my ankle and fall often. :oops: When I went to join them I noticed it was a very natural trail with rocks to manage. Therefore, I chose to...
