We have found Lily's to be pretty decent overall for general stuff. They do ave "gourmet" items wbut as with most gourmet items you pay dearly for them. Not always the best price but a decent selection. I can also find my favorte frozen bagels straight from NYC in the frozen section. We al...

X-- Flip beat me to it... but I'll be happy to play tour guide as well. (Still a little bitter that JMQ didn't tell us he was copming to town :wink: ) So, I have ?'s: Option 1 :Fly into BWI and have a friend pick us up, and have dinner and beer at Mad Fox then head into DC on Friday. Where to stay o...

I don't burn easily but I swear by Key West Aloe products (sunscreen and after sun). They are by far the best I have found and used. And if you do get burned they treat the burn well and it's not even noticable by the next day. I found them when I was on a visit to Key West years ago. I've been orde...

Depending on your length of stay and how much you need Bobby's Marketplace will deliver to the Jost dock for you: http://www.bobbysmarketplace.com/ Sadly we had to cancel our trip due to mini Gromit acting up in utero but we were going to use this provisioning service on arrival. For us it seemed li...

Rick-- I feel your pain my friend. The universe conspired against us to cancel our December trip and with Baby Gromit due in June I sincerely doubt that my ass will see the island in 2011 either. But you can BET that we will be making plans for 2012. As always, STJ soon come (although sometimes less...

What a cutie pie!!! So glad to hear that everyone is happy and healthy! December babies ROCK!!

Once again, thank you to everyone for your support and warm wishes. It was BITTERLY cold this week and made being at home that much harder. But Mr. Gromit and I made the best of things and really tried to enjoy ourselves. We went to movies in the middle of the day, tried new restaurants, I watched a...

So, we had another awful mini-gromit scare on Wednesday night. Actually, awful doesn't even begin to describe the horrible experience. The good news is that mini-gromit is OK and happy as a clam apparently, but the bad news is I'm grounded from traveling until these scary episodes stop. In the words...

Last time I checked it was only running Fri-Mon.

It's a super easy one, but I love the hike (more like glorified walk) from Salt Pond to Drunk Bay.

For more of a challenge, Ram Head is also accessible from Salt Pond as well.

Hey Lovermont.. how are the temps? same as usual or cooler?

True dat!!

SO as I contemplate my upcoming departure I wax poetic and decide to impart random knowledge and experience upon my fellow forumites. For those of you who have been around a long time -- I'm as good as clockwork when it comes to this kind of thing. If you're new, you get the benefit of a handy tip o...

Can anyone on island report if this ferry is running this week?

I don't need it until Friday. Although Dux needs it Thursday .

It would make my life a hell of a lot easier if it is....

Thanks in advance!

We're going to be down the 10-17 --- same time. I've been down the same two weeks in December for the past four years, bring a sweatshirt casue it can get "cooler" at night but otherwise you should be JUST FINE. If not, come up to Sailview and party with Lovermont and our hubbies. Unless I...
