Re: Trip Report...

Please do! It’s been ages since we’ve had one!! Have the sea grapes come back to provide shade at the north shore beaches?

Any news about the liquor store by baggage? Last summer it was still closed. How about the airport restaurant?

Re: 2018 Roll Call

Two weeks in August at the beautiful Gallows Point Resort! We have kept up with the folks at Gallows all thru this great ordeal and they have been working so hard not only to repair damage to units and grounds, but also have successfully finished the NEW POOL and decks :D Love Gallows!!

Re: Gallows pool construction/destruction

John - really appreciate the real time update and photos! We are heading down Aug 9-23 with a harbor unit. We were aware that the construction was going on, and really hope that the lower deck will be done by early August - was not looking forward to having to negotiate that rocky sandy beach to get...

Re: Trip Report December 3 - 10

Great trip report - thanks! We've been going to Gallows for at least the last 15 years...I'm curious to know if they have started construction of the new pool and deck area, or if you've heard anything about that. We are set for August but are really concerned that the pool will not be finished and ...

Re: Favorite place to stay where you can walk to town

Hands down - Gallows Point Resort!! The only problem for you would be that they do not have two bedroom units. They have a loft bedroom and a pullout couch in the downstairs living room. Also have a half bath in the upstairs loft and a full bathroom downstairs. They have a gorgeous pool and beautifu...

Sunset Ridge Villas

Hello Forumites - anyone have any info or reviews of Sunset Ridge Villas? I believe that they do not have AC, and a friend is thinking about going in April. Any thoughts? How is the weather in April? AC needed then? Many thanks.

Re: Can we make a 45 minute layover?

Connie - I agree w Rick. Don't take the chance. I had a similar situation for my trip this coming August - 45 min to make a connection in MIA. I was too nervous and changed it to a 2 hr wait in MIA to STT. Thanks Rick. I have enough anxiety to try to deal with a short layover. If it works out and we...

Re: What airlines are you using now to get to the islands

Also going in August - Raleigh to Charlotte, then Charlotte directly to St. Thomas on U.S. Air...Actually had enough miles rewards to go FIRST CLASS! WooHoo! US Air has already made one change to the flight...instead of leaving STT at 4:40 p.m. (which is usually the flight we always have), now leavi...
