I am planning a vacation trip with my wife and would love to visit US Virgin Islands (St John, St Thomas) or Puerto Rico in mid Sept 09. I am interested in a nice place with good beaches and water sports. I understand the risk of hurricanes exists but prefer the scant crowds and better rates of mid Sept. Can anyone recommend good beach resorts in St John, St Thomas or Puerto Rico? (something like Caneel Bay, St John or Ritz Carlton, St Thomas or similar) . Thanks!

St John has the Westin and Caneel Bay
St Thomas- The Ritz, The marriott, Sugar Bay Wyndam….and those are the nice ones they have…..umm Puerto Rico im not sure about when i go over i stay with family friends!

I want to go to Colorado state university and i was wondering how close it is to some major ski resorts. What are the closest ski resorts? Also, if you attend or have attended CSU, how often do kids drive out to got skiing?

I go to CSU!

It’s about 2 hours, which really isn’t bad. I go every weekend and once during the week, and there are two skiing clubs.

One club, the snowriders, has a bus, and for $15 they take you to the slopes. But they’re a bunch of drinkers and partiers, and who wants to pay 15 bucks?

the other club is the Outdoor club, it’s pretty informal and people go every weekend, there are also tons of backcountry skiers, since Rocky Mountain National Park is 30minutes away.

If you sign up for both you can send an email to all the members and ask for rides up to the mountains. Maybe you’ll end up going with me one day even!

I am looking to go to one of the smaller, less crowded ski resorts in the lake tahoe area. I am trying to avoid the larger ski resorts, ie Northstar, Heaveanly. Preferably it would have good ski classes and a good selection of runs. I am a intermediate to advanced skier but will be going with other less experienced people. Any recommendations or comments?

My choice would be Sugar Bowl, especially if you live to the North of Tahoe. Excellent snow record, and some terrific intermediate runs on Mount Judah. The new condos at Sugar Bowl village look great as well.

I’m visiting family in Gingoog City, 2.5 hours NE of Cagayan de Oro. What are the best beach resorts that are resonably close to spend a few days?

Camiguin Island, 1.5 hours by car from Cagayan de Oro, then another 45 minutes by ferry, has lots to offer, including cultural places to visit. Although the seaside is not always perfect for swimming, it has resorts that have swimming pools, and trips can be arranged for a day at the white sand beach. You see, it has a white sand island/sand bar that offers nothing but sand – right in the middle of the sea. You take a short boat ride to get there. It is also a volcanic island that has a hot spring resort (fresh water), and an underwater cemetery (a 19th century volcanic eruption buried a town and its cemetery) – something for scuba divers to explore. The whole island can be considered a "resort" with so many things to offer. Most travel agencies would have tour packages to Camiguin Island.

I’m planning on getting wii sports resorts the day it comes out. Do I have to reserve a copy to be able to get it the day it comes out?

It wouldn’t hurt to.

It’s hard to tell what will happen.
If you don’t reserve it and it sells out, you’re out of luck.
If you reserve it and it sells out, you’ll be happy you did.
