Thanks Linne for the lovely TR and great photos! Your house has a great view!

A funny note - a few years ago while touring Santo Domingo, the oldest city in the new world, we also saw Christopher Columbus' tomb, with the same disclaimer, "some dispute that his body is buried here". :lol:

Definitely Maho, great w/kids! We always stay ALL DAY!
Just be diligent and reapply the sunscreen, or move into the shade, which is quite easy to find. We love Neutrogena spray, it does a great job of covering, 50SPF for hubs and 30 for me! :D

The desk clerk ...

Is he in the hospital? Or is this an outpatient treatment? My father was frequently treated with Vanco(IV) while in-patient; Medicare ALWAYS paid, no questions asked.

Perhaps he could be admitted and then treated; would it be covered under that scenario?

Several years ago, during one our trips, the island was buzzing that Brad Pitt and Angelina were at Caneel. He was shooting a film on Water Island. Never saw them, no one else reported seeing them, but everyone was talking about it!

Captain Phil of the Wayward Sailor does weddings; he would prbly dhingy into your fave beach, do a little ceremony and then you two could go for a sunset or day sail with him.

Email or call him to ask, he's a super nice guy, I think he would be happy to work with you.
