Black strap is to be used as a floater on top of a maitai, pina colada, rum punch etc. Do not stir! This from a former Cruzan rep. The ginger beer works also

Re: On island with 3-year-old in July - ideas?

Our first trip our youngest was 4 but a swimmer. She started on the shore at trunk until we handed her an underwater disposable camera ( years ago) . She was thrilled and wanted to go out to the trail to take more fish pics, even diving down to get closer. Don't know if they still sell them but she ...

Re: Live from the rock

Thanks for the Gibney pic! During our last visit, we headed down the hill to find a dozen tents. Sleepover with island youngsters. Maybe the refurbishment is meant for community events like that.

Re: What was your first impression of St. John?

My husband earned a free long weekend to the now Westin back in 1989. The "ferry" was a small boat filled with school children returning to STJ from school and my family. I will never forget getting in the jeep and riding down the North Shore with 2 very wide-eyed little girls in the back ...

Re: Wrong forum- help needed-Outer Banks

Jim,

It is not the Outer Banks, but look at Emerald Isle in NC. Very pretty, not crowded. Not exactly a jumping bar scene but that is not our thing.

Re: Restaurant attire

My husband wore long pants to ZoZo's and regretted it... sitting on the rail at sunset was sooooo hot... polo shirt and shorts and flip flops work for sure.

Re: Sad

I still check in once in awhile. Never was one of the "cool kids" but that never matters to me on here or in life. Would love to see it pick up a bit! Often wonder what some of those frequent posters are doing for vacation!

Re: Car rental necessary? Staying in Cruz Bay..

You will get differing opinions so here is mine. More freedom with a car since taxis only go to certain beaches. The cost of taxis for five both ways will add up. Groceries may be rough but you do have 5 sets of hands to walk/carry. Maybe try to rent a few of the days?

Re: September trip to Chesapeake Bay area

I live just north of Annapolis Md. and travel to Richmond to visit my daughter. If you do not go at peak times and head up 301 or 50, you can do the trip in 3 hours. Annapolis is a lovely place to visit. You can also hop over the bridge to the Eastern shore and go to St. Michaels... Hotels and B&...
