We just spent 2 weeks in Cinnamon Bay in a platform tent. We brought a Polar Bear cooler with steak, swordfish, chicken, scallops and shrimp frozen solid and put the cooler in our largest checked suitcase. It weighed 54 lbs but they let us get away with it. The second checked bag weighed 48 lbs and ...

Happy Hour

Try the $1 Rum Punch at Castaways, then pour yourself next door to Rhumb Lines for a great dinner.

Bug Bites

The bugs were the worst in our four years. We arrived at Cinnamon Bay Campground about 7:30 pm, exhausted from the trip, just threw our stuff in the tent, made up the beds and hit the sack. The next morning husband had some non-itchy red dots on his face and my face was a little puffy. The next morn...

We were fortunate enough to hear them on March 14 when they played at the T'ree Lizard in Cinnamon Bay Campground. They also played during our vacation in 2011. We are big fans and wish we could have been there on the 25th but we're back in Massachusetts. Am following them on Facebook, tho.

I've tried the West Indies itch relief stuff and it is phenomenal! So much more pleasant to use than After Bite. We just came back from tenting in CBC; the second morning I woke up with my face totally swollen. Had probably received hundreds of bites overnite. We got some Raid and sprayed the inside...

The worst is when your trip back to "civilization" is a bear. We sat on the tarmac for 1 1/2 hours in Miami because apparently someone over oiled the engine cowling and it was dripping a fluid which needed to be analyzed. The flight attendants pretty much hid in the galley. I guess they're...

Snorkel gear

We put ours in our checked bag and did have some damage to a mask. The following year we padded things better and made out fine.

Flight changes

Don't you just feel like a victim? I looked at our original flight times and we would've arrived in STT at 1:30 pm. Not a direct but still a nice early arrival. Now we don't get there until 4 something. And forget a direct flight. American only does that from Logan on Saturdays. And the prices dropp...

Would you please tell me the price for the Daydreamer? Is it out of Cruz Bay? Hours and destination? We are camper people at Cinnamon Bay but might splurge based on your wonderful trip description!

Let's pray hard on this one, Forumites. It could be any one of us. Think how comforting it would be to know strangers who care are sending positive healing energy.
