Glad you enjoyed your trip. Yes, St John sure does make you want to share it with your loved ones, but it's great to be just the two of you as well! That just means more trips!

I am thrilled to say that I booked a trip for November. This will be new for us, St John twice in the same year. Anyway, I reserved both Sago Palms and L'Esprit de la Vie so I have to decide what to do. There is an old review for Sago Palms and no reviews I could find for L'Esprit. I think DH won't...

I have taken a curling iron on the plane with no problem, so I would think a flat iron should be fine (I assume you mean a hair straightener).

My husband, our two friends (newbies) and I will try to be there.

Secret Harbour in STT has two bedroom suites and will take five. It's very nice and right on the beach.

Pardon my old eyes, but what is that? Is it a person?

mbw1024 what's your villa of choice this time? Hi Mary Beth We're going with friends this time and are trying a villa that does not get mentioned very much - Altagracia through Catered To.

How about Secret Harbor in STT? You would be right on the beach, great for all three of you!

Here's one everyone here likes. Don’t know if it has a name - we just call it “Our dip”. Quantities aren't exact, I usually judge it as I go. 1 can of refried beans 1 bottle of creamy cucumber salad dressing 8 drops of Tabasco sauce 1 chopped/diced Spanish onion (or ½ depending on size) 1 chopped/di...

We have not tried Sweet Plantains yet, but plan to in May. Here's the menu, if you want to have a look.

I used to do that when my kids were little. That way I was sure there'd be something decent/nutritious for them to eat, even if it meant I spent most of my Sunday cooking. Now I think about that sometimes, but that's about as far as I get :oops: I do usually cook big batches of whatever on the weeke...

I'd love to see a review on Esprit too!

On our second trip to STJ we couldn't match the flight arrival to our villa rental by one day, so we stayed overnight at Emerald Beach. Quite enjoyed it and our dinner in Frenchtowm, although I can't remember where we ate. On another trip we decided to arrive a day early and stayed at Hotel 1829. Th...

We had been to Honeymoon beach and on the way back to the car,I stopped in to use the washroom at Caneel. My husband was waiting outside and said Meg Ryan walked by him and gave the customary "good morning".
