Sketch map of Gallows Point?

Hi All,

Does anyone have a sketch map of Gallows Point? I use to have one, but can't find it, now all I can find online are interactive pictures.

Refrigerator stocking and return to this forum

Hi All, After a long (4-5 years) absence since I have been on this site, thought I would jump back on after all the horrible things that happened to St. John last fall. I am so pleased to read about the strong recovery efforts but know there is still a lot to be done. (I have been helping in a small...

Two suggestions we have liked

If they are available, you might try Time Out Villa or Sea Stone Villa. Both were great and were perfect for two couples. Lots of space but the room design put some space between the couples too.

We enjoyed both everytime we rented either.

Cotton and DEET - the best options.

I am with Jofus (who had me rolling with the sticky layer capture technique of bug deterrent). Long sleeve and pants is the best protection, but can be very hot. When we are in swim wear/shorts we use extensive Deet protection from a variety of spray cans/bottles. Works as good as anything can. Libe...

The sad "anti light" packers

Well, fifth time to St. John for my wife and I is quickly coming up in 2 days (we will arrive on Friday afternoon). Some especially sensitive types already on the island might notice the island sink a couple inches when we arrive with our luggage. My better half believes that there is nothing worse ...

mindehankins, Great news.....and I feel your pain. My wife has chronic back pain and is constantly "on the sofa". The island does seem to help with this. Maybe it is the muscles relaxing a bit as one takes in the view? Either way, we are going to be there with you ......we land tomorrow. M...

Alright......not a great deal of consensus. So, I will probably end up starting at High Tide.......if I don't see or recognize anyone form the forum, I'll probably wander down to the BB later. My wife and I will be there.......we'll be the two looking like were on island time and having fun....no wa...

May 10th Forum get together location.

May 10th there are suppose to be a group of us meeting at the Beach Bar. Recently it seems that that locality hasn't been all that great, for a number of reasons. I haven't ever attended a get together at BB so I don't have any experiences or expectations....but, after reading some of the others com...

Hi Robin......look forward to telling some stories about the Peninsula. Like someone else stated....we’re kind of shy. (Okay, my wife is kind of shy.....so she tries to make my daughter and I be shy. Doesn’t work well....but sometimes does.....). I suspect I will be the loud one telling stories....I...

Looking for the t-shirt so you can spot me!

Wife, Daughter and I will be there. Probably roll in around 4:00 and stay a few hours. Really looking forward to saying hi to people whose screen names I might know! I'll be the fat old guy in the "don't I know you from the forum" tshirt......if I can find one. If not......I will be the fa...

Parasailing

My daughter wants to go parasailing while we are down the first week of May. She is a thrill junky.....but has never parasailed. (Oh, we have ski dived together....in fact it was her 18th birthday present from me but never tethered to a boat!) Any suggestions on who and where? I haven't seen anythin...

Might be.

Wife and I have to go over to STT to pick up our adult daughter who will be joining us for the rest of the vacation (okay....so my wife can shop for some jewelry also). We are going to try to make it back for the party.....but depending on how tired the ladies are.....might have to defer until the n...
