This made me smile! Our upcoming trip was planned for our 17 year old daughter who is graduating and planning to move far from home. What you experienced with your children is exactly what I am hoping for. Thanks for sharing.

BillVT - Thank you for the pictures! That made my day. That front porch is where I expect to spend many hours. I was unaware of the Gerald Singer connection, but I have seen his book referenced here and plan to purchase it soon. toes in the sand - thank you for the advice and the new website to sear...

Thanks to all of you for the help. I did pull up a map :wink: and made some mind adjustments. I am a strong swimmer, but new to snorkel, so I will keep all of that in mind. My father is both and quite the adventure seeker, so perhaps he and I may work on Klein to Ditliff Point one day. I am certain ...

We are first time visitors and will be staying in Monte Bay Villa on the south shore. Does anyone have any information and/or advice about this side of the island and/or this villa? It seems most of the favorite beaches are north shore, but does anyone have a favorite south shore beach? From what I ...

How do you send the box back? Also through connections?

I loved this post. I am also a "child of the 70's" and faithfully watched Gilligan's Island. Oh, put me on that island right now.

It's Monday again! I want a turn. So much snow and ice here in Maine and nothing but low temps and blizzards in the forecast! Hurry up May!

There are thirteen of us. 10 adults, 3 older teens. We will be going out at least two nights, one for a nice (not too fancy...

Gorgeous! I just popped in to look for this. Thank you.

Your photos are wonderful! It looks like a wonderful anniversary trip. Where was the brunch with the shrimp cocktail? Yum. That looks like a crowd pleaser for the group I am travelling with.

I am going to be practicing in the pool tomorrow, but I am sure it will be the last time before the pool gets closed for the long, long Maine winter. on the bright side, that gives me plenty of time to read and check out some dive shops for gear that fits properly. I will be getting it before I go b...

These tips are wonderful! Thanks to all of you. I am going to do my best to remember them all and just relax and take baby steps with it. Hopefully it will be the just the beginning for me.

Good morning! :D I We will be first time visitors in May. Being from "way up north" and never taking an island vacation, snorkeling is new to me, but I am excited to try and after reading trip reports and travel books, can't imagine going to St. John and NOT trying. My father (who has been...
