As a wife of an attorney, we've heard all the lawyer jokes. Some funny some not so funny. However, laughter is good for the heart & soul. Perhaps the time has come for Gert to have a 'chuckle' section. Contessa

Complacency is a breeding ground for disaster! If you're not made aware that something is broken you can't fix it. Every little bit of improvement is a step in the right direction. Let's keep the HEAT on!! >< Contessa

It's the same from BOS - SJU. While I like that early flight, I've been avoiding it of late. The lines are out the door for check-in and in Feb. brrrrrrrr!!! I once asked a ticket agent about the number and sizes of the baggage and she responded, " paper products!" She told me that the price of paper products is astounding in PR. I think there's more tongue in cheek

Sometimes Royal Marina smells the same way. YUCK! Does anyone remember Club O smelling the same way??? Even rolling up the windows didn't do it. OMG....you'd have to stuff the nostrils!! Contessa

YES! That's it, K-Dis!! And the locals sold their fruits/veggies outside. OMG! What a trip!! Also, I remember that planes couldn't take off at night.....no lights on the runway. And yes, Barbara, only 1/2 of Anguilla showed at night. Now that was weird. It looked as thought 1/2 of the island disappeared!! Yup, loved Trivia night @ David's, too. We've met more wonderf

THE BEST LAWYER STORY SO FAR.......from the wife of a lawyer!! One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.

My first trip was at the Sheraton (Mullet Bay) for 5 days with friends. I was amazed by how exciting this place called St.Maarten!! Then made plans to take hubby the following year. Booked @ Le Grand in Marigot! It was like being on a plantation! Each morning we'd walk down Rue 'Dread' to the bakery and get fresh croissants and baguettes for lunch. We didn't rent a car f

Vinny..... What you posted was of an informational variety and I didn't see anything wrong with it. When leaving the front door of our 'santuaries' we must be informed of the problems of the world, be it SXM or any other place. Personally, I found it quite informative. While it's not reassuring, it does tell you that s*&^ happens, everywhere!! Regards, Contessa
