We left out of JFK two days after Bin Laden was taken out. A few soldiers with guns at security check point.
They opened my cooler, went through the frozen steaks chicken and burgers and put it back in cooler and we were on our way. No problem.

Rachel picked us up on Friday, 5/13 for our return to NJ and reality. Not sure how long the ride is to STT airport but she told us the story of Chips missing glasses and her surprise trip on the ferry to St John to surprise Xislandgirl in great detail. You could tell she really enjoyed your surprisi...

Carry on for medications

We always do carry on and my husband just puts medication bottles in a baggie and I carry them in my purse. He just said why don't we get one of those pill cases with the days of the week on it which would be much lighter to carry. Question, does carry on medication have to be in the original contai...

After a few close calls with almost missing planes, and this was from Newark airport.
I would rather sit in the airport than be stuck on the highway in traffic worrying about missing our plane.
Just me.

Just a thought,
We live in NJ and I really don't trust traffic on any morning to get us to JFK.

We stay overnight at one of the hotels that has a park and ride so we can leave the car. The next AM, we take the hotel shuttle to the airport. Much less stressful.

I am counting the days!!!

Checking out villas while on island

Great pictures of your trip.
