Make sure you write a trip report, Anthony!

We recently became AAA members and I'd really like to take advantage of all that it offers. Please let me know what has worked for you and what hasn't...i.e. travel insurance, roadside assistance, travel agency, maps/routes/road construction/current traffic updates. Anything, really. We took the plu...

Thanks Anthony. I cannot even fathom the toils and tribulations of running a site such as this and your efforts are truly appreciated.

I really like the concept of various tabs on here with reviews by island/interest (restaurant/villa/charters). It would make this site whole.

Anthony, maybe you've answered this question elsewhere but I don't see it: Is the restaurant review section of this site non-functional? The most recent reviews are from 2011. It seems to me that having the reviews in one place like that would be much more efficient than having to do a search of tri...

Not sure of everyone's budget but these would be really nice. If not for the exchange then for yourself. I have been wanting to order one. You can pick sand from several beaches on STJ or many other beaches or you can send you own sand in. Pretty cool idea. http://www.beachsandsnowflakes.com/beachs...

Becky, I love your reports. Thank you for taking the time and making them so full of life. I feel as though I was there with you all.

As others have said, thank you, Anthony. Glad that it's up and running again. Amazing how much I look at this site!

One more that I really enjoyed:

The Invention of Wings-Sue Monk Kidd

Bumping this thread up as summer reading is in full swing. Recent reads are: Love Water Memory-entertaining Defending Jacob-very good Goldfinch-gag (I know, I know, we are all supposed to love this book...bleuch) Flight Behavior-interesting and engaging Euphoria-pissed off that my ipad download is m...

Really like this TR. Thank you, 54B.

We loved Maine. Highly recommend getting up at 4:15 am and heading up to Cadillac mountain for the sunrise. One of the most amazing things we've ever seen. Buy a good guide book for Acadia and do everything you can! Bring comfortable walking/hiking shoes and as has been mentioned earlier, bring warm...

I really don't want to be a killjoy on this but, if you were renting that villa, would you want the whole world to be able to see your sun deck where you might want to have some privacy?

Otherwise, it's quite lovely. Looks like a great villa.

I'm with Charlie on this one. You can have "encrusted" whatever at home at fine dining establishments. If you want Island dining, go to someplace off the beaten path and have an experience you'll cherish forever. Isn't that why you are there and NOT at home?

Mosquitoes will be an issue in about 7-10 days.

Wonderful report! Thank you. Now I "get" the Caneel thing. Makes perfect sense to me and sounds absolutely delightful. Sorry you had to return to snow but the relaxation is, hopefully, still with you.
