Sahara Dust -- Yes -- good satellite coverage at www.weathercarib.com Remember it keeps the Atlantic Ocean temperature lower and as a dryer air mass is a tropical storm inhibitor so other than the reduced visibility it is a welcome weather pattern. I second Exit Zero. Sahara Dust typically means le...

I was a Facebook skeptic for a long time, but after I finally gave in I realized that it can be both a very powerful networking tool (which has been increasingly important in this economy) and nice way to stay connected with friends/family and to reconnect with friends you have lost touch with. I th...

We are using Rachel on Saturday and she is charging us $50 for 2 adults. We have used both Dynamic Tours (Freddy) and Wheatley Taxi before, but they had a $75 minimum (up to 4 people) so Rachel was more reasonable for our group size this year. I am hoping that Rachel is as good as everyone says! Eric

We bring both Amex and Visa and have found that most restaurants and about 50% of the retailers that accept CC's will take Amex. Likewise, most of the car rental agencies will accept Amex -- which is a big plus since most have very good rental car insurance coverage.

Hope this helps.

We like Memory Daze and Pink Horses. Also stayed at Sea Wing which was very affordable, though I am not sure if it is on the rental market anymore. I also hear good things about St. John Livin and Islands Dreams.

This is the first year we are going during Carnival (June 27-July 4th) and I am really curious to know how "crazy" the area gets (fortunately we are staying in Coral Bay but will head into town at night for th festivities). Are most of the crowds coming over at night from STT, or should we...

Pia -- Kinda missed that one! :oops:

Does she have a company/website or is this just a highly recommended woman with a van?
