Jun 22nd, 2010 at 3:00PM: Before I left Eden Rock, on St. Barths, in search of the local tobacconist, I was told: "You can't get lost." Usually, when I hear that, I wind up making some wrong turn or other directional blunder.

May 18th, 2009 at 4:00PM: The beauty of a recession is that the once inaccessible becomes downright affordable (assuming you haven't been hit too hard by economic woes). At Eden Rock on St. Barth's, you can travel like the wealthy while paying far less. The "Pick Me Up" packages is the latest example. It feels like stealing, but don't worry: it's perfectly legal.
When I saw the price – around $1,500 – I ...Party like a rock star on St. Barth's
Feb 21st, 2009 at 12:00PM: Don't pay attention to the stock market; luxury isn't dead. If you need proof, just look to the recently opened Villa Rockstar on St. Barth's.
