Like Augie it has just become part of the routine - it is on the way. In that there were only 2 of us we did not get much there, case of water, case of G2, beer, wine, chips etc. Then to Marina Market for a few items. We used to do the Christopher Taxi thing and regular ferry but I like the control ...

Quick Coral Bay Trip Report

We spent 10 great nights at Bayview Villa off Ajax Peak Road, our fourth trip to this simple but great villa. We did not take many pictures this trip but we try to do different things each visit and wanted to pass along some quick thoughts. Some of the places we went were as a direct result of readi...

They are not even close to the same - Salt Pod takes maybe 5 minutes to get back to the car. When we did Reef Trail on our own I think it took 2 hours total - with time to explore at the sugar mill. I would guess that the hike up takes 25-35 minutes but if you take it slow you will be fine. The Salt...

We have purchased six of the 24's the last few years during the 2/1 sale.

Have given them as gifts, to kids, plus we use them for weekly costco trips for the frozen items.

Oh and for STJ of course....

We have actually stayed at both as we love that area of the island. We stayed in Aria about 5? years ago and did not care for it due to the furniture and spiral staircase, as well as the somewhat overgrown vegetation that made a type of tunnel effect in the back. The next year we went to Bayview and...

Yes but just. Have had a number of tight connections at ATL but always seems to work. We try to take a flight to ATL that allows that flight to cancel - take the next flight and still make our important flight to STT. But flying out of DC area makes that easier for sure. If you can arrange a longer ...

Sea Spirit

We drove out there and visited on our last trip, a left just past Salt pond then a bumpy road for 3-4 minutes. Very pretty location, nice older cottage. No deck to sun on, instead a porch. Very quiet, private, scenic. I think Flip-Flop stayed there this spring? You might look for her posts. I love t...

You can also just skip the middleman and contact Noah's directly at 866-820-6906.
