Rent a Hummer.

Thanks for the helpful tips. We are trying to arrange for the last week of July and are looking at several different villas near a beach. Then, if I can't do the ride, at least I'll be able to get into that gorgeous blue water.]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:46:07 +0000 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=20150#20150 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=20149#20149 Author: CEC1

Stay on or near the beach in St. Jean . . . or near Shell Beach in Gustavia.  You'll be able to walk to many places . . . and can arrange for taxis for other trips.]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:04:36 +0000 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=20149#20149 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=20148#20148 Author: Wilson

We left on July 3rd and there was no sand at all. The water is about two feet deep at high tide where the stairs to the beach used to be. ]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:11:42 +0000 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3209&PID=20148#20148 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=20147#20147 Author: Shoots&Co.

Solution might be to rent a villa next to the beach then, having a small boat who can pick you and drop you wherever you want.

Most of the places to see can be reached by boat, plus you avoid traffic jams.

Other solution could be to have a driver who knows well the island.

Or you can use both.

When do you come back? maybe traffic won't be so busy and so not so scary.

Let us know.]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:09:34 +0000 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=20147#20147 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=20146#20146 Author: islandgal

My husband and I are returning to St. Barts after several years of visiting other islands. On previous visits, I was absolutely terrified driving up and down the steep roads and I was a passenger, not the driver. I love the island but my fear is even stronger than before as I was in a head-on vehicle crash 2 years ago and I am luckly to be alive. Any suggestions on how I can enjoy my stay without being panicked all the time? My humorous family members tell me to go blindfolded or have several islands drinks before riding in the car but I am serious. I am really scared.]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:32:54 +0000 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3224&PID=20146#20146 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3220&PID=20145#20145 Author: katva

Thanks everyone!  Looks like El Convento wins out this time....but I had also looked at the Water and Beach Club.  I'm looking forward to seeing Old San Juan!]]> Sat, 05 Jul 2008 06:47:55 +0000 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3220&PID=20145#20145 http://stbartstalk.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3214&PID=20144#20144 Author: stbarthlover

As a contribution to 1000 words, I post 3 pics taken yesterday from petit cul de sac. Amazing + 999 words that I cannot write here.
