I saw some of those Youtube videos sometime back. I think I quit watching them. I will have to venture back to desensitize myself. I have a feeling the flight over to SB will be nothing compared to the driving in the dark. Ha There are a few streetlights around the island. It will get dark just bef...

Hmm. Could be the place across the street from Nikki Beach. I've never been in there.

Summerlover, Geed is Ron. With all of the phone questions here, someone must be planning to have one that you can borrow. Worst case, buy a phone card in the smallest denomination that you can find - €5 or €10/$7.50 or $15 - and call from your villa or hotel. The price of the phone card will be wort...

doesn anyone know how much Casurina charges for the weekely rental of beach chairs?? one piece of info that i just got from Kathy at St. Bath Properties is that her Captiol One credit card doesn't charge her exhange fees. I'll have to call and find out about our account. I'm not placing Casurina. A...

I wasn't really worried The Mini-Mart does present a photo-op though. If you're travelling through Lorient with the water to your left, Mini-Mart is on the right.

One reason that I use the ATM and get € is that there is a wide variance in the exchange rates used by restaurants when they calculate the exchange rate to put both a € and a $ price on your check. I pay in whichever currency is most advantageous to me, and use MC or Visa (in €) if I'm short of cash...

I have one question...... "Who's gonna steal the peanut butter?" :D Yes, there is a Mini-Mart on the island, located in Lorient. Hours are Monday thru Saturday 7-12 and 2-7 closed Sundays. The local shopkeeper will likely have less of a sense of humor than the Gendarmes. Hope for the Gend...

Ron, I read in my SBP villa guide that the cash machine only lets you take out small amounts of cash. do you recall what the limit is?? this was sooooo much easier years ago. no fees, atm cards all the time, excellent exchange rate. UGH!! The limit is whatever your daily withdrawal limit is in the ...

My wifew and I are copming in on the 7th from St Maartens and we are staying at Manapany. Does anyone know how difficult it will be to get from the hotel to Gustavia for the show? If Manapany has a shuttle then that might be an option, but how are you going to connect with them for the return trip?...

Someone should bring their Ipod and speakers and have Autour Du Roche ready to play for your trip up to the "Rock"..makes the Corona tastes so much better !!!! LOL - Listen to my iPod and you'll find not only Buffett's version of Autour du Rocher, but the original from the now defunct loc...

Summerlover, Ask whatever questions you may have. One thing to note - the gas stations are NOT open on Sunday. You will see locals filling their tanks, but they are using French credit cards with embedded chips in them. Your US credit card will not work in the gas pumps. If you're planning to fly ou...

Ah, but I do. Been travelling internationally my entire life. You pick up things along the way . I figured that it was time to stop lurking and start sharing.

I just bought an ipod ( I know I'm behind the times LOL ) will I need an adapter for the docking station ? Charging our camera batterys ??? The iPod is multi-voltage, at least mine is, but I don't know about your docking station. Look at the charger. If it says "Input: 100-240V" then all ...

RE:cell service, I have Sprint w/quad band and it will work, but the tower is in Gustavia and you don't have a clear view of it you won't get a signal. I think if you really want to be in touch with each other, you will all have to rent a local cell, otherwise you will have to rely on Villa to vill...

We're not talking about a major concert venue with legions of security here.

People knew about '99 well ahead of time. I was told about it a year in advance. There were people sailing in from every island within reach. The following morning there was a literal parade of boats heading out of the harbor and back to wherever their current home port was located. I've got a full ...

Yes, I've been there a few times. If it's like '99 you shouldn't need to show up at 6 or 7AM, but do what you feel.

Scarlet, The "Sorry, No Telephone" days passed years ago. All villas have phones. If you're in a villa then call the rental agent now and ask them for the phone number of the villa. Your Mom will be able to call it from the US. From the US, she would dial 011-590-590-xx-xx-xx. The 011 is t...
