We had a beagle we named Coki and I always loved his name. Unfortunately we lost him to lymphoma but he left us with a lot of great memories. I think Jumbie would be a cute name.

I know y'all are talking about rum but here's a good summer vodka drink: Fill tall glass with ice. 1 1/2 oz. vanilla vodka, original Fresca and a shot (or more) of cranberry juice, slice of lime.

Ditto to Dclapp's post. I too have been a follower of this forum for many years....not much of a poster because people like you always give such good info. The same thing happened to this forum several years back and we lost some really humorous and interesting folks. This forum allows us to escape ...

We always visit Elaine Ester in Cruz Bay and buy something. We love her wood framed tiles...the colors are so bright and the pictures are very whimsical. I also order a calendar from her every year and frame some of the prints.

We were notified by CO last week that our non-stop to Newark was cancelled for July 29. We had the option of leaving earlier on July 29 and changing planes three times to get to Norfolk at 11 pm at night or book for one more day in paradise. Not a hard decision to make even if we have to spend a lit...

I think Tutu has a really great selection of jewelry. She usually reduces things half price the end of July as she closes up for several weeks. I bought that little turtle in mother of pearl and wear it as a slide. I always get a lot of compliments when I wear it! I'm looking forward to stopping the...

Car barges aren't running as often...I don't believe so you have to make sure on your return that you know what time the ferries will be departing. We have rented from Dependable several times but may go back to renting on St. John this trip with the changes in the car barge schedule.

I have a friend who owns a timeshare at Elysian and we have stayed there with her several times. We always thought it was a very lovely place so I hope you have a good experience there. Red Hook is too far to walk to catch the ferry to St. John. Be sure you go up to Mountaintop as it has a beautiful...
