The first thing I do Friday mornings when I get to work is look at the picture. Don't make me beg! :shock:

They had a special last time we were there - scallops in a french champagne sauce. TO DIE FOR!

I would NOT take a day trip. We went to Soggy dollar and one of the gals who was with us really hurt her back. It's a jarring ride. A day sail would be much better - I suggest Long Distance out of Coral Bay.

We loved LONG DISTANCE. The only problem was the day went so fast. We liked that there is only room for 6 people and the charge is the same if there is 1 guest or 6. It's a beautiful boat with beautiful people in a beautiful spot. You just can't go wrong.

I react badly to no-seeums as well. Get a prescription allergy medication from your doctor and start taking it a week before you leave. It works so much better than anything topically. I also spray my beach towel with deet and then put the towel on the sand and the seat of my beach chair. This way m...

They eat me alive as well. Get an allergy prescription from your doctor before you go, and start taking it a week before you leave. It works amazingly well. Benadryl works good too but the prescription is top notch. I have tried everything and most trips I am miserable. I also put a towel down on th...

We just got back a few weeks ago and had no problem using Verizon. We have heard that it is very expensive if you use British towers (east end). We mostly texted while on the east side and talked when in Cruz Bay. Our bill was very reasonable but we kept it to a minimum. It seemed like texting was t...

Thanks to all of you for responding. I don't think a a noodle alone will be enough after hearing from all of you. I think I'll suggest a vest (and a noodle to start with and then help her practice with it in the pool this summer. Does anyone know of a good vest to purchase? I don't think she'll feel...

Help with non-swimmer - HELP!

Next January we are taking friends of ours to St. John. He swims every day and is excited to get snorkeling. She is terrified of water. If she can't touch to bottom she freaks. We are going to work with her over the next 10 months. In the pool we are going to try a noodle and hope she gets to where ...

I second LONG DISTANCE with Robin and Rick. Robin can point out things you don't even see. Her trained eye sees way more than I would have seen on my own. Spetacular snorkeling! Wonderful day with Long Distance.

I wonder about that too. We saw utility workers in short sleeved shirts, no hard hats, music blaring while working. Didn't seem to have any safety standards as well.

OVER RATED: Sweet Plantains - they charge $8 for a split plate! WOW! They served us a curry dish we did not order - then told us about it after we finished it. Didn't get the dish we wanted so not impressed with the $$$$ food. Didn't offer to made some sort of adjustment on the bill - complimentary ...
