OK, so our family just got back last month from a VI trip, BUT in the spirit of planning the next trip ...
Just got an invite to stay at the Marriott STT for 5 days/4 nites for $399 total (must listen to 90 min spiel on timeshares) AND American flights are running $340/rt (which is also a kick a$$ price from STL). Now, the tough part, HOW DO I PRESENT THIS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO THE HUBBY AND CONVINCE HIM TO BOOK THE TRIP ??
Understanding that 1) we just put in a pool ($$) and having a big party for 50 people this weekend ($$), 2) we were just there, 3) he will realize just how addicted I am wanting to go back so soon (I say NO, NO, NO to rehab) and 4) he's a bit more "frugal" than I. Working on my side is 1) the price, 2) the opportunity for some "alone" time (no kids 😉 , 3) he does love the VI's ALMOST as much as I do.
Ideas??
I'm shocked at you people!
lol
I've got it!
How about when the BBQ for 50+ people is underway. After your husband announces what a great time he had and that he can't wait to go back....youcelebrate the moment by letting him know how much you love him with tickets inhand. Nothing wrong with the dentists chair. But he's already announced to his best friends his next destination. Men never back down.

I think you all have it wrong. Wouldn't LLBL be the one in the Dentists chair? After all, she'd be the one getting her mouth drilled.
(shhhhh...I hear Islander coming). Quick, everyone pretend to be behaving.
oh my!!! freakin' hilarious. poor llbl...i'm not quite sure she asked for all this. ;-P
Blu % Crystal,
Y'all are BAD : o ) lol
If my wife came up to me and said hey I have booked a trip back to STT I would GLADYLY give her a turn in the dentist chair and provided HER some oral services !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; )
llbl let us know how it goes since we turned your thread into an naughty forum but I think you probably knew we would .......
Still ROFLMAO! LOL Blu! You're quite the perceptive little gal ain't cha?
Ive heard they really like it when you put some altoids in your mouth and then start the oral work.. LMFAO
CoCo,
You have only heard this??? never tried it huh? LOL.. could be interesting.
I'm not too sure that LLBL would be all that surprised this thread GOT TOTALLY
OUT OF HAND (no pun intended here)!!! Did you see what she wanted to name
her boat???
LLBL,
I know you're out there....did you book it and are you two going? I for one,hope so, cause this trip report will be WAY over the top! LOL!
There hasn't been any fun here since your trip report and Blu's trip report. Let's get this place rockin'! Need more trip reports!
Oh, sorry Linne, Beerhunter and SoCal....you had a great ones also! Love 'em, and please keep them coming.
P.S. And of course Promoguy, I didn't mean to leave you out either...great underwater pics. Thanks!
This is freakin' halarious!
Have ANY of you people heard of the Sweet Potato Queens and "The Promise"??? we ladies can use "The Promise" but we never actually fufill it!
I would never have guessed the solution to LLBL's dilemma was sweet potatoes!
Go friggin' figure that one.
P.S. What exactly are you suppose to do with them anyway??
Followed by an"ice chip" chaser !!!!!
Pia
So...is the trip on???? Seriously thought of buying altoids yesterday but couldn't figure out how to explain where I learned that little tidbit. LOL You guys are a bad influence...and what is the sweet potato thing...I must be too old!
LOL Cocos,
Nope never tried it.. Although ill add that on my list of things to do in the next few years haha.
Altoids are on sale this week at Walgreens 🙂
don't mean to hijack this thread but wanted to clear up somethings...
The Sweet Potatoe Queens - well how do I describe them? You must read the books to fully understand them. Author is Jill Conner Brown. "Sweet Potatoe Queen's Big Ass Cookbook" is one of my favorites.
her latest is "Sweet Potato Queen's Big Ass Novel"
http://sweetpotatoqueens.com/news/detail.php?news_id=9
and then there's the other classic "Sweet Potato Queen's Field Guide to Men: Every Man I Love is Either Married, Gay of Dead"
anyhoo, she quite often mentions the Promise and what all it can get you, and when and when not it should be used. But you never ever actually DO it! its just the thought that you might actually follow thru with it that makes men do all kinds of things! I think you all get the picture now.
all women, but especially those in my "age group" should definitely read her books - freakin halarious!
what's the big deal...just do it
I am not sure what the time share sell is here…AA flights are $360 from STL to STT and rooms at the Marriott start at $100 a night so $399 for 4 nights and you get the constant company of a time share sales person....I will spend the money especially since it is the same price.
My wife and I got married last Sept in St Kitts at the Marriott and we fell in love with St Kitts. Since it was low season we basically had the resort to ourselves and it was great to meet the locals at the various wonderful restaurants and bars.
Now the sell to your hubby is there will not be any sales people, the prices are wonderful, the resort will be yours, and the island is great. Rent a car (Hertz is in the Marriott) and you can go find your own secluded beach easily.
Anyway I little off topic and my first post…my wife and I are heading to St Thomas this September for our honey moon and to look for land to buy hence why I have been reading this board.

First of all SORRY for being a complete idiot.
Somewhere through the temporally land locked brain I read STT as SKB even though I just finished booking tickets to STT....Clearly a beach will help but the advance prepaid rooms at the STT Marriot start at $132 if I recall correctly…still not enough of a delta to deal with the time share people for me….and you could always apply for a Marriott credit card and get 20,000 points which should offset 1 night.
