I knew there was a reason that I have not driven Carol down Front Street in P'burg, just forgot why I had not done it in years. Then I remember... after the fact <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Reminder to self, do not do this!!! There is a reason!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> With only one ship in (but it was the Oasis) it really was not crowded at all. That and they had front street open to traffic. So drop her at the "Old Street" entrance and I go to the paid lot a Bobby's and head back to find her. Fortunately I drop her off with NO CASH OR CREDIT CARDS!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Brilliance on my part, don't think?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Unfortunately, when I found her she had already had her eyes on a couple of places on Old Street. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> This is not good, I think to myself! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Reminder to self, do not take Carol to Front Street, this is a "Bad Thing!" <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> I knew there was a reason why she had not been there in a long time, silly me forgot!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> After to couple of store stops (that she had ALREADY FOUND) <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" /> Then it was off the Caribbean Gems to (replace/fix/make woman happy) to get the silver chain that would really work with the Garnet she got in Marigot the other day. There was no happening with what it came with, so to Caribbean Gems with the pendant in hand to make sure the silver necklace would work. AMAZINGLY!!!! Caribbean Gems came through, FIRST TRY EVEN, funny how that happens!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Reminder to self, do not take Carol to Front Street!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> Got the silver necklace to "fix" the Garnet!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> (I said there was a reason not to take her to front street, remember??) Then the artist that does the sand paintings/tile work. Then the glass jewelry store -- that if you buy enough then you also get the volume/set discount! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> So she got the volume discount. In reality it was not much and when you see the pictures then you will agree. But that is not the point! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Front Street is fine, just do not give them Credit Cards or Cash and wait in the parking lot or at the local establishment have some liquid refreshment. Going back to them when they ARE IN THE STORES "LOOKING" is generally not a good idea! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Reminder to self, do not take Carol back to Front Street for several more years. Thinking maybe I should archive this post in the trip reports section to remind me!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Here are the photos:

You taking Carol back to front Street tomorrow? NO! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Do not make the same mistake twice in less than 24 hours! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Beside, then the earrings might come back into play!! NO, do not think so! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />

No, we have plans for lunch at Dreams tomorrow! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" />
Honestly, it had been YEARS since I have been to Front Street. I really don't buy that much jewelry anymore, as I don't have anyplace to wear expensive stuff now. I would have LOVED to have those blue topaz earrings though! Sort of got sucked in by the 80% tag, then still decided it was too much money! The glass jewelry from Elements is really quite stunning, for the price.. Will post some pictures later..

Very, very pretty. And re the beautiful shades of blue, they actually look like St. Maarten.
And tell Eric, stop whining!! You could be into diamonds!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

On OLD Street, not Back Street, along with the sand art person. I also checked out Kenny's (the Rima outlet or whatever). VERY disappointed in that. They did not have hardly any selection in what I wanted, which was the polyester sundresses. All they had were the spaghetti strap ones, which I do not like.

I do not think we will get back into town. I am very happy with the purchases I did make.

We talked to the 'tile lady' about shipping to the states. She said that she does some of it, but doesn't have a website. That might change. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Smile.gif" alt="" /> Here is the picture of the sand art refrigerator magnets

Carol probably did not need your money or credit cards to make her purchases as she makes lots of money herself and is a very independent lady! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> Being nice to her will reap you lots of benefits Eric! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> Glad she found what she was looking for. The pictures are lovely.

I wasn't sure what we would do those, and we definitely did need refrigerator magnets. Kind of wished I had bought more of the magnets...
