Make sure the shower heads are pretty high. (You know my family so you know why I'm saying this!) You haven't seen Nate for a few years, but he's 6'5" now. Delaney is 6'. All of us dislike crouching down to wash our hair. Okay, this is kinda funny to me because I am only 5'2" on a good da...

I'm exhausted just reading all of that. Phew. Sounds like a great outcome for a lot of work on your part. YAY!

Shoe, it ain't that funny. It's actually really gross. I wish it was all frozen more so I could clean it up easily. Gaaaackkkkk.

This thaw is great but the problem with a snow covered yard since October is the slow exposure of our dog's deposits from the last six months. OHMYLORD. I won't get graphic but if I were you, I wouldn't come anywhere near our front entrance area right now.

We have always used Christopher's Taxi service. Fabulous service! If there are a lot of you in the group, tie in with Dohm's water taxi and get to STJ quickly and seamlessly from the airport.

I read that one, too, of course, but I am really missing the Bongo guys.

Reiterating the previous poster's comment: GET YOUR CUSTOMS FORM IN ADVANCE (one per family). All you will need to do then is head straight for customs and you can avoid the ticket check-in area altogether.

I totally get that!! Enjoy...

Rick, I loved this report. Thank you for posting.

I second the Terrace. Our meal there was wonderful a couple of weeks ago. We tried Cruz Bay Landing and it was an off night for them (NYE) and they were just serving their lunch menu. It was just okay. I'm sure they have it together now, we just caught them at the wrong time; they are located where ...

I am glad that a lot of you "get it" with our family and the trip report that explains our way of having fun as a family unit. You must understand, our kids are scattered all over the country (and sometimes out of the country on study abroad opportunities) so getting all six of us together...
