Jewelry shopping:
I usually go to Zhaveri, but both of my jewelers were away. Very good friends of mine do business with J&N in Maho, so I gave it a try and LOVED them. If you go, ask for Ravi.

Car rental:
We have been renting from Thrifty for soooo many years. Always fantastic service and great cars with NO problems. They do go out of the way for you. George is the person to contact.

Beaches:
Mullet Bay: One of the best beaches but terrible this year with jellyfish.
Bikini beach: The kids love it here, the waves are big and there is so much to do to keep the kids busy.
Waikiki Beach: just a little further down than Bikini, but much more comfortable chairs and service.

TO DO’S:
Lotterie Farms: I recommend everyone to come here! We went hiking, that was wonderful, cant wait to do it again. The zip lines were so busy, we will have to do that on the next trip. The food was amazing at the Hidden Forest Cafe, the waitress was a doll and the views are breath taking!!!!!
Mini golfing: Great way to keep the kids occupied for a while.
Maho in the evenings: great shopping, casino, restraints and at 9:00 you can see the dancers come out into the street and dance for 15 minutes.
AND the last on the list: RELAX!!!!!
