St. Martin... Grand Case Beach Club. You will be quoted in US dollars and pay in US dollars not Euros even tho' it is on the French side. Two beaches. Pool. Breakfast included. Great view of Grand Case bay. Easy access by car or taxi to ferry for Islet Pinel (which you MUST go to). AND you can WALK ...

Just be warned you can't lock a moke (said 'mokey') so we would vote for a small car. Also, if you don't want to drive yourself take an Island Safari. Includes lunch, east coast, etc. A day on Cool Runnings to see the sea turtles is so excellent we would go every month when living there just for the...

'keet ( a SERIOUS Packers fan) has just moved to Fairbanks, AK... does anyone know if there are any Packers bars there? Her lists aren't showing any.

The Beach Boys -- 'Pet Sounds ("You Still Believe in Me"), 'Sounds of Summer', and Brian Wilson's 'Smile'. The weather and the PCH just seem to be calling for it.
Not to mention the new little yellow sports car convertible.
"You Still Believe in Me" makes me cry.

Seeing as I have been living in the Caribbean 4 of the last 7 years, I probably would know.. in fact Jimmy is still there just now. (TT is having a really RAINY Rainy Season this year!) # 1 Barbados # 2 Bequia # 3 Turks & Caicos (Provo) # 4 San Salvador, Bahamas (farthest out island, like no oth...

Actually we were there Mem. Day weekend, which we had forgotten was a holiday weekend in the States. It was hot. But, we don't camp and we don't have rugrats anymore. We went sailing, hung out at Alabama Jack's, hiked around the state park, had dinner at Encore(Fish House), and the next day we went ...

Archie
'Mad'
the cartoons in the New Yorker magazine (does that count?)
Tin Tin -- the booklike ones

I wasn't supposed to be reading comics, so had to sneak it at friends' houses. My Mom disapproved of them.

People have been encouraged to be divided by politicians and pundits in the US. As someone who spends most of my island time here with Canadians, who are also from North America but don't seem to feel the need to be so opinionated and aggressive, it seems to be a characteristic that has become parti...

Just back from a 10 day trip to the states and not to just family or something, and wow! have Americans got rude since we left two years ago, or what? You know, when most people grab a pair of shoes, any shoes, out of their closet, they generally don't think .... 'oooh these are my expensive shoes, ...

Buffett deja vu! 'K, so here we are in SoCal for H20 conference, right, first time in goin' on 2 years that I've been back?, altho' da Jimmy has been coming back every few weeks, and last night we're heading south on the 405, and there!... on the Irvine Meadows billboard Live in Concert ~Coming~ Jim...

The government has decided to stop all the make-work road work contracts up in that area that provide the locals-- who are not fishermen and not in tourism (which is limited in those villages)--with their work-3-hours-a-day type welfare checks and the locals are not happy about it. They have dragged...

It's really quite simple... Moats was DWB. Years ago we lived in a town in Wisconsin in which many athletes lived, Bucks, Brewers, etc. And even with the awareness that some people who were pros were residents, any pro who dared to actually drive his own nice car through his own hometown would aften...

OK -- JUST NOW, you don't want to go to northern Tobago (our baby island) because they are having riots and demonstrations up in the northern towns. I believe it is mostly south of Charlotteville on the Castara, Partaluvier, etc. side. It is hardly being reported in the Trinidad papers because of th...

Wonder why so many people go to Key West... as Sanibel/Captiva and associated keys on the Gulf Coast are more 'old Florida' -- not that we didn't enjoy the Keys; Blue Heaven is the closest of any US place to eat that we've been that is really Caribbean (and we've lived 4 of the last 7 years in the C...

I don't understand this. I finally decided after all this time I would put a picture on, but my pictures are all just things saved in the laptop. They haven't GOT url addresses as far as I know. From time to time, I just attach them to emails to people. So how do I do this? The steps seem like they ...

Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland, about Renoir, could not put it down.... next up, on the plane tomorrow, The Charm School, Nelson DeMille, about the KGB.

Island Boy -- Bankie Banks

Funny how one associates a song or line with something that happens... I cannot see dolphins leap up any more without automatically thinking ---- "so long, so long, so long... and thanks for all the fish!" from Hitchiker you know... same 'keet and friend requiring it to be read aloud to th...

We LOVED our visit to Yellowstone, park of a monthlong trip to the northwest -- it was '95, 'keets were about 16 and 13, we had a brand new SUV, went white-water rafting on the snowmelt, and we saw a couple moose, and wolves, and elk-up-close and marmots -- and geysers and wildflowers-- and played s...

Whoa! Are you an editor?
Just finished Jodi Picoult's 'Change of Heart' and am now reading V.S. Naipaul's 'In a Free State'.
And Travel and Leisure magazine, too!
