Couple quick questions about getting off the ferry

Well, not actually about getting off the ferry - we know how to do that. First question, where is Cool Breeze in relation to coming off the ferry? We have a Jeep rented through them. Second, I think the pickup area (taxi lane?) has changed since we last visited. Is there a place my wife and girls ca...

Verizon and the BVI towers

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to know if you are connected to a BVI tower with your phone or hot spot? We have Verizon phones and a Verizon hot spot and we're staying at Great Turtle near Coral Bay. We probably won't need to use our phones much and may pick up an AT&T prepaid for more dep...

Re: What's on your Play List??

Hey jmq, that's an awesome and pretty eclectic list. It's crazy how many of these songs or artists are on my own very, very long list. I'd play along and add my own list, except that would turn into a long, time consuming project. The next time I'll have that kind of time is when I'm on island this ...

Re: Just ridiculous!

XOXO, If you want people to take your predictions seriously, you should get your facts right. Congress is subject to this law (found constitutional by the Supreme Court, by the way) and is only forced into the exchanges because of an amendment to the law. Otherwise they would be treated exactly as e...

We had a great stay at Adeste just a few weeks ago. Chris and Charlie where great to work with. We never saw Chris and only saw Charlie twice (once on arrival, once on our way out). It was nice to know that if we had any issues, they would be fixed quickly. When we passed Charlie on the way out, we ...

booking with Noah's Little Arks

Does anyone know how far in advance you need to book an all day dingy rental with Noah's Little Arks? We're down the last 9 days of June and would like to be able to check the weather while we're on St John so we don't commit to a rainout. We're thinking any day between June 25 and June 28 would be ...

Hi AH

My wife just reminded me that she loves the book "A Passion for Seaglass". Lots of ideas there (we haven't gotten around to do any of them yet).

Thanks, everyone for the replies so far. I agree that the rockier beaches are more likely to be good for sea glass. We'll be staying in Coral Bay, so we should have some decent chances nearby. I think my wife would like to point out that I am really not "that guy". My grand gestures are wa...

Sea Glass Love

I've been checking this site regularly since I booked our second trip to St. John last fall. We'll be returning the last part of June and I have definitely benefited from all the great info I've found here. So, thanks very much for that. I want to ask a question, but in hopes of enticing more of you...

I emailed the TSA before I bought my Poller Bear cooler and tech ice to get some clarification on what was and was not allowed in carry ons (the people at Polar Bear were not even sure whether the tech ice would be allowed). What I was told was that as long as it was a solid, it was OK. Any liquids ...

Just spoke with Netflix and Amazon and neither are allowed to stream movies to US territories. I was going to bring my Roku box with me in June, so checking this thread at least saved me that aggravation.

Has anyone ever tried XM reception in St John? I tried to ask XM directly and never really got a clear answer. We have an XM boombox that we would bring if we can get reception.
