peterb - I'm intrigued by the villa in your pictures. Did you have to rent the entire property? It is indelicate to ask how much that wonderful-looking place cost per week? It looks like you could just walk down to the beach - true? Thanks! :D I swore that I'd never divulge this but, we stayed at H...

Don't be too quick to poo poo the idea of an eco-tent at Concordia or Maho...they are more like cabins than tents.

The studios at Concordia were quite reasonable as well and have all the modern amenities if the thought of sleeping inder an cloth roof is really too much for you.

I've been to Vieques for three days in Feb of '05 and wish I'd stayed longer. Vieques would have to be considered quite "rustic" compared to STJ. Dining choices are limited compared to STJ but can be quite good depending on which chef is where that month ;>) Snorkeling from shore isn't as ...

From what I gather from the internet, the ray was buried in the sand resting in shallow water. Steve may not have even been aware of the ray and swam over top of it. The resting ray was startled by Steve's shadowy presence suddenly appearing close above it and acted quickly, reflexively and defensiv...

I like trip reports but I LOVE seeing snapshots

I really liked the last pic on page 10 of your first link. Cruz Bay circa what? 1950's or earlier? Where did you get this pic and do you have any more really old ones? Thanks Oxford I grabbed that image one when someone posted it on this forum. I think it was from 1951 as I recall. It was the only ...

Nice shots...Splendore looks...well...splendid indeed!

Loved the beach shots especially the one of Trunk with the dinghy pulled up on shore.

Thanks for sharing.

I is very possible that your image hosting site doesn't allow linking. Also you might try adding .jpg at the end of your image's address but before the [img/] As a test, I'm posting this one of the damage the "Floods Along The Mohawk" did to our wonderful Erie Canal in late June. This is L...

Apples & Oranges folks apples & oranges. I'm about to spend a week on the coast of Maine where a friend lends me her oceanfront summer home. Is it the tropics? No. Do I love it...Heck yeah! Two things Maine has that the tropics never will...fresh picked wild blueberries and locally grown swe...

Great pictures! I saw that you had dinner at Asolare and had to ask what you thought of the food and ambiance? Is the restaurant open to those views or is there a balcony? If a balcony is it small? Sorry for all the questions, I am trying to decide on a location for a dinner for family and friends(...

I just copied and pasted the addresses...all done automatically it appears

Here's links to my two visits (a little dated these days)..enjoy!
