roll down hurricane shutters are on my list.

Re: a question about doors for villa owners and renters
Owning one and planning the build of yet another villa, i will confirm Christine's concerns. Doors will not always be closed or locked in the open position by renters.

We are escaping!
We will be on island again tomorrow, subject to the evil white stuff (snow), not to be confused with the wonderful white stuff (sand). Will wear our VIOL wristband, and a tag that says....if found please return to villa tesori. Hope to meet some of our St John VIOL friends while there. brian and lisa.

Re: Early morning trunk bay?
we generally get there just before 8am. usually have the beach to ourselves. there are a few park employees wandering around but no one ever questioned us. we have a better time snorkeling before the crowds hit.

Don't think ill snorkel today. Our BVI rum tour was cancelled last night....from the sound I think it was...
