See Pia's post regardeing reduced ferry schedule. According to the paper, there will be a ferry from Chralotte Amalie at 11:15 on the weekend. The 6th is the first day this new schedule is supposed to go into effect, so who knows what will end up happening. We would love to share a cab with you (mos...

We arrive July 6 and were planningto take the downtown ferry to St. John, but it seems that our arrival day is the day that the new reduced ferry schedule goes into affect. We arrive at 2 pm. Anyone arriving that day around that time and interested in sharing a private taxi to Red Hook? I have not c...

Thanks Pia. We are downtown ferry folks and always plan our flights around the ferry times. Well, guess what day we arrive, yep, July 6. I guess we will be getting a tour of St. Thomas in order to get a ferry that day. There are certaibly worse things in life! I tried to talk hubby into renting on S...

I purchased a week's stay in a condo that was advertised on ebay.

I am a former long time lurker - over 6 years, who once in a while asks a question, yet I read the forum every day. I am trying to participate more frequently. I have asked several questions recently and appreciate all the answers and information. I am an uber planner, and love the anticpation and p...

The car ferry on St. Thomas is in Red Hook, not downtown. I think Discount Car Rental may have an office on that side of town, but I am not certain. Some of the STT residents can probably chime in with better info. Good luck and enjoy your upcoming trip!

I live on a college campus where over 60% of our student population is women (I am long past my days as a student), so I relate to your drama queen saga (you should hear the complaining when we have a power outage). Thanks for sharing. I'm anxiously looking forward to your next installment!

I read rave reviews about Deli Grotto. I remember going in on our last trip, but don't remember anything about the food. What are your favorite sandwiches and what is their price range? Is there a menu posted anywhere?

Many thanks for the info!

Thanks for the responses. I understand the walk down is steep. Could we handle walking down the hill with beach chairs and a beach bag? My plan was to walk down in the morning, catch a cab and go to the beach. After the beach I would get a cab all the way back to Cruz Views. Is this possible or am I...

With the ever rising gas prices, I am sure that taxi rates are rising too. Can anyone that has been on island recently give me an idea of some current fares? What is the rate from Cruz Bay to Caneel, Cruz Bay to Trunk, Cruz Bay to Cinnamon? Many thanks for the ever helpful advice of our foumites. Yo...

We are very fortunate to get to take a very last minute trip to St. John in early July. This is very much a budget trip for us. We are staying at Cruz Views and are thinking about renting a car for only part of our trip. Our thoughts are to walk into Cruz Bay and take a cab to the beach the first tw...

Thanks for the quick responses! Our trip (if it works out) will be Sunday, July 6 - Sunday, July 13. I would love to rent on St. Thomas, but my husband had a bad experience with the car ferry 5 years ago and vowed never to rent on St. Thomas again.

Good morning oh knowledgeable forumites! Does anyone know of a car rental company on St John that allows a later car return? We are looking at a very last minute trip, and if it works out, our flight would not be until 4:40the day of our departure. I would like to have the car until 12 or 12:30 that...

Hello vacation experts. We may be able to swing a last minute trip in July if all goes well. I have a few questions that I know some of you will know the answers to. Will the downtown ferry be operating in July on Sunday? How crowded is the car ferry that leaves from Redhook on Sundays and do they h...

Have you considered Sunshine Air? I have never used them, but just saw that they have a 5:30 pm flight from STT that arrives in Virgin Gorda at 5:45 (I am sure that this is 5:45 island time). There web site lists a flight as $125 each way. Perhaps this would be an option for you.
