Robert’s American Grille
By James | April 27, 2008
Since coming to the Caribbean, I’ve fallen in love with the spiny lobster they serve here. I was used to the classic Maine lobster, but after tasting the sweet and tender meat of a spiny, there was no going back.

Cruise Travel for 2008 Should Have Great Deals
By James | January 31, 2008
The US economy might be in the tank, but the cruise market should be safe since the average customer of the industry isn’t being hit hard yet. According to an article on CNN about Cruise Trends for 2008, there should be some great deals showing up as cruise lines have to drop initial price offerings giving consumers a chance to save money if they have flexible vacation plans.
The big thing for cruise consumers is shore excursions and this year is going to provide a good opportunity for the locals to make a living from the tourism industry.
Looks like 2008 will be a great year to visit the Virgin Islands on your favorite cruise line!
Cheers!

Mahogany Run Golf Course is operated by the Ginn Company and is a perfect activity during a St. Thomas vacation or a St. John vacation. Mahogany Run is the premier Caribbean golf destination and is open to the public and accommodates all hotel guests and cruise ship schedules.

A Local’s Vacation - Part 4
By James | October 27, 2007
Woke up Saturday and the sky was beautiful as it was every day. Willie tells me it’s not normally this nice in October and I’ve been lucky to have had good weather everyday. Our plans for the day are to drive around the west end of the island to the various beaches on the north and south sides and catch some sights for good photographs. After a delicious breakfast prepared by my good friend Willie, we packed up in the truck and headed out.
