There is a restaurant on Friars Bay beach that’s amazing. Cash only and open a few days a week. We always go to L’Atelier too.

Easy to visit Anguilla or St Barts from St Martin.

Thanks, just checking. We are looking for options. Miss the days of riding our bikes to LSU campus for tailgate action.

Where will all the LSU fans be before game? We are from Baton Rouge but live in Nashville area now. Plan to drive up to visit family in town for game but wanted to check on LSU related activities.

Moteleone Pool after Red Dress run a few years ago was one of the best parties ever. Haha
We drove to Kona from Hilo over the mountain after a football game. It was little scary at night but we survived.
We have always rented a car. I suggest a reputable company to avoid scams.

Maho Beach is fun experience. Scoobi Too was fun catamaran trip to Anguilla.

Pinel Island is nice. You may want to make a reservation for lunch to make sure you can get lounge chairs and a lobster.

Orient Beach has some good restaurants and a big beach.
Night snorkel with mantas is must do. Its amazing. We went to Green Sand Beach and South Point. South Point is southern most part of US. Jump off the cliff into ocean at South Point. Climb back up the ladder.

We stayed near Chania last year. It was close enough to drive to the city for wine, food tour and to explore. It was a good base but we had rental car. We did Elafonisi Beach. Did the gorge hike. Hike was a long day but worth it.

If you want a tour book it fast. They fill up quickly. We stayed in Versailles. It’s near Lexington. We did Makers Mark, Woodford Reserve, and Buffalo Trace in a day. Really liked Buffalo Trace and Woodford. Makers was good because we had a tour but it is in middle of nowhere.

Sorry to hear about your uncle. Wife and girl friends stayed at Graduate a couple of weeks ago. Said it was nice.
We stayed in Bryson City area for Thanksgiving. Good times.

We did it in 2019. It was amazing, night snorkel, the manta's were huge. Be sure to get some pictures or video. Fun times

Thanks for all the suggestions. We are still planning and hope to have something booked soon.

Northern Italy - 2025

Looking into trip next year with wife, no pics.
Thinking of splitting time in or outside Milan and Florence. From each home bases would take day trips on trains to see surrounding sites.

From Milan: Como, Bellagio, St Mortiz
From Florence: Cinque Terre, Portifino, Bologna, San Marino

Just exploring possibilities at this point and looking for experience from others.

We bought tickets to Acropolis in advance. Definitely recommend this. There is a ticket for multiple sites you can get online in advance. The only bad thing for this ticket is it doesn’t get you into Acropolis museum which is awesome. It gets you access to other sights but for 2 days it is tough to see everything. First day is fighting off sleep from inbound flight.

Explore and have fun!
