St. Thomas is pretty fun.

Wait, you mean St. Trauma? You're joking, right?

No.  St. Thomas = fun.

i once got to attend a wedding that was held at the top of the downtown boa building. they timed the wedding to coincide with the sun setting and held the ceremony on the west side of the floor so that the setting sun was the backdrop. wow!

I worked on the 35th floor of that building for 2 years.  It was a great view.

Shut up about Dallas.  Dallas sucks and I don't want to hear about it.  Is it any coincidence that 4 of the biggest losers on this blog live in Dallas?

No.  St. Thomas = fun.

People ITK refer to St. Thomas as St. Trauma.  Inversely, they refer to St. John as St. Yawn.  Now I ask, to which would you prefer to vacate?

Have not be to St. John.  Going to a ton of the islands in December will report back fun rating of each.

it's a 3rd world beach, man.  hey look crabs and sand lice, let's grab a beer and some melanoma - maybe get eaten by a shark.  it's not a party until a sea gull shits on you!

Opinions on Barbados? Looking at the Caribbean for a vacation but there are so many islands, how does one choose?  :runaway:
vacationed in punta cana a couple years ago for a friends wedding. was pretty great.
Doing this for a week in October!  Super stoked!

Starting a new job next week with frequent (every week) travel.

Who has done the TSA Pre-Check thing? Is it a hassle?

Super easy and fast.  If you are in KC,  the appointments will always be full... Just walk-in.   They aren't busy.   Probably have your KTN# in like 2 days... Unless you are a terrorist,  then please don't get one.

Cheap.   Quick flights.   Slight chance of beheading.
