Re: Happy hour deals and times of day

Happy hours are fun and social times to let your hair down a bit. However, like Teresa Rae said, not at the expense of beach time. If I happen to go to town on an off weather day and take advantage of a good drink special, ok let's go. I like the Beach Bar, Woody's, Joe's Rum Hut and the Lime Inn. C...

Yes to both inquiries. There is also a Banco Popular across the street from the dock in the old Mooie's location in Cruz Bay.

Re: Lost luggage

Lost a bag on a direct flight from Newark to St Thomas. Had to fill out a form in STT then continued to the Westin. When I arrived at the check in desk I told them I was missing a bag (cooler I checked made it down). They handed me a $50 credit ( even though it was no fault of the Westin) and told m...

Re: I LOVE Cruzan Rum, but...

Cruzan Black Strap reminds me of molasses. The Black Peal sounds good as well as the Dark and Stormy. The shrimp recipe looks good too. I drink Mt Gay Eclypse Black which is a 100 proof rum similar to the Cruzan Dark. Yah mon.

New Flip Flops

I got these new flip flop's today. They are made by Telic and made in the USA. I have a hard time with flip flops because my feet are wide. These flip flop's are very comfortable and come in a few different styles and many colors. The fit is smaller than my normal shoe size. I normally get a size 11...

Re: New video

This is very good news Bill. The units look comfortable enough and are priced right. Do the loft rooms get hot? There is probably a nice breeze up there and with a ceiling fan, that may be fine. The homeowners probably had to put up with some pain for a while. Hopefully with good management, Sunset ...

Re: New video

I always liked that location. Good to see they got their act together. Are there rentals through Redweek or by owners or just through RCI?

Re: Flight Cost Anxiety Woes

The airlines got greedy and put a premium on weekend travel. If you do a Wed.-Wed. trip you can get a better airfare. Or better yet do a mega 12 day trip by doing a Sat.-Wed. trip.
