I am a relative rookie on the forum but think my qualifications might allow me a pass to join the gathering: a) I just returned from a first time trip to St John b) I grew up in the King Of Prussia Area. Don't worry. The main qualification is a love of the islands. No other qualifications! But it d...

Not from Philly, but my traveling companion Chris is and was at the last forum gathering. She's really busy with school, so I will alert her to this thread. And mostly, I just wanted to jump in because I think the only other person on this forum from Nashville is my friend, so the only time I get t...

I see that in the month and a half that I've been back not much progress has been made.
The roundabout was actually easy to negotiate. I had no problems. Which for me, was a miracle!

Glad to hear that you made it. Post updates and don't worry about the wine. I'm sure you've already found a substitute.

Silly question

Just curious...does anybody know what the hours for JJ's Texas cafe are? I know that when I was down the last time they were just serving breakfast and lunch. Have they changed their hours?

I have flown both American and US Airways and neither one charged for checked liquor. I just needed to tell the clerk that it was duty-free items.

I will try not to offend any scorpion lovers out there...
I found that if you spray some window cleaner on a scorpion it kinda paralyzes them for awhile so you can whack it with a broom.

I have not seen a tarantula on island. But, I would much rather deal with a tarantula than with a scorpion any day. I've seen enough scorpions on STJ to last me a life time.

I was on island early January. At that time they told me that the roundabout was to be completed in one week. I actually thought they were kidding. No way that will be completed for awhile. I was there for one week and all they ever did was water down the dirt on the roads and work on the same secti...

I have heard nightmare stories about Verizon use on STJ. However, I have been on STJ three times and used my Verizon phone regularly and the highest my bill has been was $45 more.

Great, another reason to not fly US Air.
Up until now, it was just sitting on the plane for three hours and losing my luggage!
