We have the Capitol one Venture card, 2 points per 1$ spent. This way I can book my cheapest and best flight for us on any airline then tell Cap one to use my points and they pay the bill. No blackouts and it really works well. To figure out your dollars you can spend just take your number of points...

We loved the crew, th...

kids tried to go there today, the salt pond is so high it covers the path!! Many large hermit crabs scrabbling under every bush. Very impassable and many nasty skeeters.

Who is on Spice Cam all day???

Has anyone noticed the people sitting under the palm tree all day on the Spice Cam view??? I am guessing they are selling something (?shells?) on a blanket in the shade?? :?:

Also, how much rain did you all get over the last week?

You are correct about the views. I posted a couple of years ago with others about Anole, I stayed there in the mid90's, spectacular views. Subsequently they let the vegetation block the bulk of the coastline view below. I walked by it last summer, it is a little further down the road from La Jolla C...

OK, I am really 'island sick' to get back there. As you know I love La Jolla Caribe also. Did you get up and see the sunrise over the BVI (it might rise over Mary point this time of year... not sure) as well as the sunset over Peter Point?? Please: More view photos, food photos etc!! Incredible dive...

my sons luggage arrived late, we contacted them and it arrived the next day on the ferry at the ST John dock. It was there when they said it would be! We were hoping for a delivery to La Jolla Caribe but no chance.

usually the last ferry is 6pm, that is too tight for your flight schedule, you have to drive at rush hour! If you are stuck, Red Hook has nice 'for pay' parking so you can take the people ferry (last boat at midnight, runs hourly) with your stuff and get the car in the AM. (you never never know, may...
