smut patrol<BR>why do you assume that anyone would does not like this post likes smut? LEts face it - theres no crime,drugs, sex,travel anecdotes, useful information , interesting information, advice in this thread. In fact theres NOTHING at all!! Never mind school going back- when is the next trainspotters convention?

BTW<BR>are there any regular readers of this forum who did not already know that Lois has been to Barbados 15 times( and is going again in November?)

You're kidding!!!!!

Here goes, yes I have been to St. Maarten at least 21 times, its not because I'm not adventurous, its because its an easy destination to get to from the NYC area, non-stop flights and your on the beach in 4 hours. Yes its kind of like home away from home, instant vacation. No need to worry about where to go, what to do, etc. We try different restaurants out each trip, different beaches each trip, different excursions each trip, etc. But we don't feel rushed and can just chill out. I am one of those suckers that bought into the timeshare conecpt, but if you love a place, why not!! We have traded, but keep going back. Even the years we traded, we found a way to go if not just for a long weekend.

Kim<BR>well, put like that, it seems more understandable! Some people who are frequent visitors to a place will often say that they are scared to try other places incase they are not as good.I still think its a shame not to try new destinations but I only wish I was near enough to a caribbean island for it to be convenient to visit!( Why not swap your timeshare one time?!)<BR>
