Just Returned from Westin St. John-WOW! (with video link)

Is this suggestion for both arriving and departing? Do you get them by luggage carousel?

My suggestion is to check no bags!! Have not taken anything but carry ons for 8 years now. Shorts, polo shirt and sandals gets you into any restaurant you want. With a washer and dryer it's not worth the hassle of checking bags.
we were on the Rock 6/20 to 6/27. Great week of weather. A little Sahara dust. Someone asked about gas? The new station was $4.65 reg and the other was $4.70 across from Bball courts. also the owner's exchange POD building was just pitiful our week, not a thing inside. Has that been everyone's experience. Also if you are on the hill they have locked up all the TP and shampoo so stock up!!;)
 
Congrats - but for some (us) - carry-on is not an option (not even the opportunity to be one of 'those' guys with overloaded carry-ons)

I do not recall any type of issue in arriving (other than a short wait at the luggage carousel), and departing is easy if you are prepared and know the drill. We are (generally) easily thru both ways - but leaving is more challenging because of the potential lines (Check-in, and Customs/Immigration/TSA). The comment about the STT Porter is for departing and have multiple bags (e.g. 4 bags for 4 adults) - the Porters will make leaving easier if you don't want to deal with them - especially if you are dealing with kids as well.
