Hopefully no rain in Tahiti, they have a lot of rock sidewalks and my shoes were like sliding on them when it was raining and I did fall a few times. The hotel we stayed at pre-cruise gave us big umbrellas to use while out for the day, but that did not stop my falling. I walk a great deal so I was not hurt, but a homeless man helped me up both times. Yes, there are quite a few homeless people that would really like to have your food storage containers you take home from restaurants.

Yes Waypoints formelrly CYOA. We have our boats registered to go to the BVI's as well but a growing number of clients opt to stay in the USVI and teh SVI.

The train is a great way to explore smaller towns and archaeological sites without renting a car. Hopefully, tourism can grow without harming the area's natural beauty.

Unless we get a multi-year injunction, this will be a done deal before the administration changes. Nobody on St. John wants an unrestricted resort at the Caneel Bay site.

I am super excited to attend my first F1 race in person this weekend at COTA! Since it’s my first time, I am looking for tips to make the most of the race weekend and my trip to Austin.

I found these two helpful articles with some useful information:

Things to Do Off the Track covers activities and places to explore around Austin.

F1 Guide to Visiting COTA offers practical tips for visiting the circuit.

I will arrive on Friday and stay until Thursday, so I will have plenty of time to explore Austin after Sunday's race.

For those who have attended the USGP or visited Austin before, what would you recommend? I would love tips on getting around the track, finding good local food, and discovering interesting places around the city. Anything that could make the trip more enjoyable would be appreciated!
