Alright, kiddos....Statia is checkin' in thanks to the "heads up" from JAGIRL on the Caribbean forum.
Making a few plans without moi, are we?
I'm not taking a trip in the next week since I have to recuperate from two visiting teen girls (Little Statia and the newly Adopted Statia) keeping me up WAY too late over the past two weeks.
However, be forewarned that a 747 (much less one with a first class section) cannot land on our runway. So, either you suffer in the tiny tin can aircraft stuffed like a sardine with your other 17 compatriates, no A/C and no bathroom facilities, not to mention no beverage service or pretzels (yes...that means no poison), or you don't come at all.
Anybody still game?

I forgot to add...
We do have chocolate here, imported from both Belgium and Holland. And, I will get in touch with Degas to dole it out whilst attired in a full tuxedo, as we ladies sip Rum Runners on the beach.

Uhm Statia, no first class? No bathroom on the plane? Good grief!!
Well I know, if they allow jets to fly over your beautiful island we could bring parachutes and just jump out..and float down to your favorite beach where you could be waiting with the poison..and Degas could fly in ahead of us (on that no bathroom plane) and pass out the chocolates.
Where there is a will there is a way

Ahoy, chocolate chipmates~(sounds of me kissing my hand at the artful word play)..
I can't resist, since you've dragged(git it? A cruise ship, dragged..) poor unaware Statia into the plan.
Some of us will have to be:
**voted OFF the island**!!!!!!!!!!!
And I, the pioneer of Alaska, have ridden on the small commuter planes out yonder. They were LEGO sized people, where the only thing more annoying than the mosquito sized engine was the screaming of the locals, men too.
You try riding next to some 357 lbr., who alternately belches up that mornings Jim Beam and sobs.
I will be up to the task. But can we not ride a ship into the port, Statia?
I have a silly vision of a bunch of us in long gowns protesting, "No, I am queen of the world".. you know, 'Near far, I can't find the bar and I know that this dress won't go on....

It was an interesting morning bike ride. The inlet is calm, the sun is shining, and even phosphorescent me knows to apply sunscreen on these days.
So I was peddling in low gear, breathing in a potent aroma of lupine and petroleum products, and a young speckled moose was startled by my appearance. The big green leaf was potruding sideways, equivalent of a Cuban cigar. "Mornin Shecky I hollered", fine day to be grazing".. "eh, what's that noise you got Jetsy"?. (hes an oldjazz fan and I was insulting his solitude with some DrowningPool provided by my teen son to keep the feeble minded at arm's length).
I also passed our local search and rescue crew, who had beenm told by my ornithologist that my ovaries were on a death march. Even the donor program had said thanks but no thanks, they'd look elsewhere.
Keep me posted on the gtg/.. I'm too full of spiderwebs and repellant to be sitting around. J.

Usually, I'm bored of posts(including my own) after the first 50 replies, but.. if the powers that be here at Fodor's are as smart as I believe them to be, they'd actually put this shindig on, using all our expertise and contributions!
Think of the free publicity. Think of the hilarity. Think of everyone happily wearing their $16 travel underpants!
Please, let's get a petition and promise to get the word out about the one, the only the best travel site anywhere:
FODORS, FODORS, FODORS!
Plus, if you start right now, as a FREE bonus, I will dedicate a thank you and even a chapter to the wonderful people on the message board who supported and inspired me to go on.
Gotta get my picnic organized, but think about it Fodor's-- you need us. We are the your loyal subjects! Jetset

jetset, you obviously know where I'm coming from.
And, trust me....finding the bar won't be a problem here. There is one on every corner. Even our gas station has one.
And, if by some chance we really can't find the bar, we know that our dear Kal will be our leader.
