Re: Where do St. John lovers go when they can't go to St. Jo

Grand Cayman is very easy to get to by air, it is safe, and it has beautiful beaches. It is heavily developed but not glitzy. The biggest downside is that it is pretty expensive. There is more to do in the Seven Mile Beach area, but the Rum Point area also offers a number of beachfront condos and vi...

Re: Fatty Crab

Thanks for the first hand report, Coconuts. I'm sorry to see it go. They did a great job of remodeling that space and I'm hopeful another business will be in there soon.

Fatty Crab

I saw an article in News of St. John about a week ago that Fatty Crab was closing. Have not seen it mentioned anywhere else. Anyone know the answer? Just curious.

Re: Thirteen more days in paradise, final

Thanks for the great trip report and fabulous photos, Becky! Love that view from Coqui. I enjoyed hearing about all those trips to Havana Blue. On our last trip to St. John, we spent one night at Frenchman's Reef for the sole purpose of eating there!

Re: Trip report: 9 more days in paradise

Becky----I always love your trip reports and wonderful photos. I love food, so the detailed restaurant reports are a treat for me. Mostly, though, I am just happy that your treatments went well and that you were able to spend some quality time in a place you love so much.

Re: Frustrated and a bit annoyed

I also want to emphasize that I have been extremely happy dealing with St. John Car Rental. In fact, I never rent from anyone else. Cynthia at SJCR is a real sweetie----she gave me a big hug when I left this year. Having said that, I often do not get an e-mail confirmation---I just don't worry about...

Re: Frustrated and a bit annoyed

I have rented from St. John Car Rental every trip and have never had a problem. I have rarely gotten an email confirmation though----I know I didn't on this last trip. I just call and talk to Cynthia. I do remember getting an e-mail on one prior trip---it came from "sjcr" and was very brie...

Re: Zozo's

We were at Zozo's last week and were really impressed also. We had been long-time fans of the old location, but liked the Sugar Mill location even better. Zozo's was packed, and the food, service, ambience were all great. We also went to Virgin Fire. Our food at Virgin Fire was delicious, and prices...

Re: Please don't say wrong island..

Scoob---I agree with your thought---different travelers like different things. We do prefer St. John, primarily because its the right size for us, and I think they have done a better job (though not a perfect job) in preserving their natural beauty, but each island has its merits. One thing I like a...

Re: Trip report...of sorts

Enjoyed the report, Pete. We have a similar St. John trip coming up with our 3 adult children. I totally understand how valuable that time together can be.

You inspired me to give in to my daughters' urges to have a little more pool time at the villa.
