Hello All- Please consider using Google Earth to locate your villas and share villa locations with others. If you are not aware of Google Earth take some time to download, install and check it out. I use the free version of Google Earth and it does all I need...zoom into look at Islands, beaches, Villas, roads, view photos from travelers around the world, and you can also save "placemarks" to show others where things are...this is a great tool for virtual exploration and information sharing...give it a try! And I promise I have no financial interest in Google, no stock or anything...I just love the tool.
Feel free to PM me with questions, you probably do need a high speed internet connection for this tool to be fun...
Cheers-

All- There is a Google Earth community where you can search for uploaded info, it is as easy as finding info on a BB like this one, but it allows sharing of global location info, photos, webcam feeds, etc. I am starting my own list of STJ placemarks and uploading them to Google. I started with Catharineberg villas...etc.
Joining Google Eath community is free, they're gazillionaires, what do they care...

This way when I am planning my next trip in a year or two the Villa location info will already be on the Web for me...not that my memory is beginning to fail or anything...
The capability in Google Earth for sharing Global information is really impressive once you understand it, yesterday I downloaded placemarks from somebody I never met and they immediately allowed me to find "The Indians", Lindqvist Beach", etc...totally cool to click a link from someone and have your browser zoom into that exact location for you, then view photos of that place which were uploaded by someone on another continent...truly technology working for ME!
Cheers
