Hi djmom,

Smooth move...do you plan to tell them when you get back? (Or perhaps let them figure out on their own where the new tan came from?) This being Thanksgiving, I can't wait to hear the Christmas plans! Cudo's

Hi mahojim, Glad to hear you're planning another trip! On your next trip, leave "the baggage" at home...and enjoy this one the way you want to. Some people just can't be miserable alone...too bad. All the Best! Scott

Hi jaytee,

We've been on STJ in the last half of July and it did not seem very crowded. Maybe a few shops/restaurants were closed but we didn't really even notice. It was not an inconvenience at all. Enjoy your trip! Scott

Well...I have not watched the show, just not much of a fan of reality TV. I do look forward to reading about this on future entries ... it'll be interesting to say the least. It could be worse...they could fall in love with the island and... (I won't say it). Hopefully it won't be a bad experience f...

It certainly looks like some positive suggestions have been made. Different viewpoints...but all in all in the flavor of being just for all parties. My personal take would be to write a polite letter to the management company explaining the facts as they were and leave it open ended...see what comes...
