I know I said that I was done but I do have one more thing to say. I am not sugar coating this at all. Crime happens everywhere, even in my very small farm town in the NW hills of CT. This attack was brutal and the police department's actions are ridiculous, I am not arguing that. There are serious ...

I am in total agreement. It makes me a little sad that this forum used to be so active and now there may only be a handful of posts a day.

Anthony, I would be happy to mail you a check for the "bring back the old forum with log on required" Fund.

I read that article yesterday and I am looking forward to eating there next year.

Nekkid.

There. Everyone discuss.

I am with you guys. I actually had time to post from work today and it was dead.

I need a trip report!

Actually things like this do not happen everywhere and for the good of STJ, it might be a good idea to dispel this notion. I live in Los Angeles in what I like to call barrio Van Nuys. It doesn't even happen here. This was a person who was on vacation on what is described as a very quiet, layed bac...

I do feel terrible for this man. It is something that happens though, not just on St. John but everywhere. While living on STJ a good friend, business owner, and island resident was attacked with a metal pipe walking home one evening in Cruz Bay. They did not rob him, they were teenagers getting the...

We are coming from CT, flying out of Bradley. How about you?

Guess I never noticed them. 5 years and I never noticed an orchid? I must have worked too much....or had a bit too much rum.

It has been a few years since I have been on island, but I can honestly say I don't ever remember seeing orchids. Bouganviella and Hibiscus, yes, Orchids, no.

I may be wrong though, I just don't remeber them.

Not until April, but 1) I am a planner and 2) I really wanted to do something special. I figured that they would at least let me know if it was available. We will be there during most school's April vacation so I am sure that the island will be busy and I didn't want to take any chances. I gave up o...

Hope this doesn't disappoint but I think the only buffet is at Caneel Bay and very pricey (though worth iot in my opinion). I have never seen any other buffet's on the island.

I contacted Caneel about reserving the Turtle Bay Wine Room for my husband's 40th birthday. It is quite exclusive and pricey so I was not sure that they would let a non guest reserve it, so I wanted to check in ahead of time. The reply I got was call us when you are on island. We arrive 2 days befor...

Friends just flew to the Bahamas this weekend. They were allowed only 1 carry on. They were told that they had to check anything but 1 personal item. I called AA and they confirmed that for right now, you have to check everything but 1 personal item. I think the days of carrying on everything are go...
