Remember, this is only a deposit and it is fully refundable up to October 15th -ish so if you have any inkling to come join us, you might as well lock in the pricing now–you can cancel tomorrow if you like!

YTB Travel Warning
Just a brief heads up. With the economy in the tank, there are schemes that pop up all the time. One that has been around for a while is YTB Travel (yourtravelbiz.com). In a nutshell, it is a pyramid scheme where the money is made in recruiting others into the scheme. Last week, they were essentially shut down by the Attorney General in California for being an “endless chain” scheme and for deceptive advertising and business practices. They were fined $1 million dollaras. As soon as the settlement was released,…
Goodbye Pete
My daughter’s parakeet died today. It is strange, no matter how many hamsters, gerbils, lizards, guniea pigs, hermit crabs and other critters you bury, it is always a sad day.

Grand Pineapple Beach Pricing Is Gone!
The fantastic rates we were seeing at Antigua’s Grand Pineapple Beach Resort have gone away. While the pricing is still lower than our original price, the ridiculous $1250 for 2 for a week just went the way of the Dodo. I will be keeping an eye on this though.…
Apologies For Site Issue
Please accept my apologies for the site being down today! Our domain expired and the domain registry people had an inactive email address, so I never received the “you better renew now or we are cutting you off” notices! Of course when I try to log in to renew, I don’t recall my password and they offered to send a password reminder to –you guessed it the email address that is inactive. So after about two hours on the phone trying to convince them that I was actually me, it…
