I got my flight for my trip to the BVI's this summer out of Myrtle beach June 26-July 8th for $305 RT inc taxes when Spirit ran the last 48 off. Good deal if you can catch them.

I would go ahead and buy now. Probably will not go lower unless they do a last minute sale... I am glad I bought mine in Feb. (which is early for me to buy tickets for June) and I paid $305RT inc. taxes. Glad I bought it then. But, US Air was/is? having a sale and we are doing a last minute short tr...

Ferry company info

Does anyone know who runs the CA ferry to STJ right now transportation services or varlack? The reason I ask is I want to call when we arrive to let them know we are trying to make the 4p.m. ferry to STJ. We get in at 3:15 and are NOT checking luggage. I have made if before so I am hoping we can mak...

I want to add that if you don't already know this, the CA ferry dock is only about 10 minutes from the airport so you an always go there and hopefully catch the last ferry to STJ. You may have to wait and then the ferry ride is longer, but it's a nice way to start unwinding from the trip. I have hea...

I will add a little to the last post... 1. The argument for which ferry to take CA or Red Hook, comes down to this for me. Do I want to spend my time (45 minutes) in a taxi going to Red Hook or sit and have a drink in CA while waiting for the last ferry from CA and spend 45 min. on the ferry. I thin...

LuLu, hopefully people will not migrate down to Ivan's. I love it there as well. When we stay at Sandcastle we usually go down to Ivan's while the daytrippers are at SDB. I just love Ivan. He has got to be one of the sweetest men and Darlene is great too. When was the last time you were there? p.s. ...

You are right LuLu, it's busy most days from what Tina the manager says. If you go down to either end of the beach you can get away from the crowds usually.
It's not the same as it used to be...

Thanks for all the info. I have been a regular to the BVI's for the past 4 years, so it's been about 5 years since I was on STJ. Sounds like a few things have changed, but not much. I'm sure we will have luck finding one for a day when we get on island.

Thanks!

Jost is getting busier and busier because of the cruise ships in Tortola now. The sheeple somehow make their way over there. I'm sure there are other reasons as well..
Any day is a good day on Jost. But I think that generally the middle of the week is less busy.

Finding a one day jeep rental on St. john

I know it's hard to reserve a rental for one day. Is it do able and anyone have recomendations? Seems everyone is wanting a 3 day minimum.
We are only going to be on St. John for 3 days and really only want one for 1 day to drive around the island.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for the info. I was hoping the construction & noise would not be too bad. They are offering a great deal for last minute bookings. I think Unit 10 is what we are hopefully going to book. I have been to STJ but the other 2 I'm traveling with have not... Where exactly are they locat...
