Horse back riding, etc., you can also go to the center of the island for the gardens and stuff but you don't need to, Marigot Bay will be enough south without the switchback drives. Early December for sure, just after hurricane seaso...

As an ex-prez said, "it's the economy, stupid!" Have you guys any idea how bad the US economy looks from outside the US? All the talk is how the US is in a recession and how will it harm their currencies. Wake up and smell the coffee! People don't buy tickets to anything when they're in da...

Doesn't make any difference anyway, as we're so close to the equator that sunrise and sunset are pratically the same time all year. But methinks this is a...

The greatest thing about Brett is the true JOY he took in playing football! It wasn't just a game for him, or even just a sport, it was an affirming plunge into life each week and for so many years, each game, we looked for that glee, that smile, as if he were a 14 year old who had just thrown his f...

Goodbye Brett

Good bye to the greatest quarterback ever! And, while anybody with the money can go see Jimmy, I'm glad in my heart that my daughter, the greatest fan, got to go see Brett this fall, and see him set a record, too. There will never be another like him! Go Pack!

Nearly all of you could probably 'sell' your skills and educations to one or another of the islands, but you gotta have the courage to sell the house, store the stuff, get rid of the cars. find homes for the pets, tell the kids, and just go. We took the 'leap of faith' almost 6 years ago now, had 2 ...

Yes you can... go to Barbados -- in May it is even off season, so it'll be cheaper! There's a great drive in theater, 1950s neon, a BAR in the snack shed, first run movies, all overlooking the Caribbean, everyone puts their lawn chairs out in front of their car, and buys fish cakes to feed the Bajan...
