Barbecue is a misleading description, IMO. The food truck you're referring to is the Lechon, which is roasted meat Latin style. I was expecting bbq when I first went, and missed the sweetness of bbq. There are several bbq trucks that are open every day and have good food. The guys at the Lechon truc...

Frenchman's Reef has The Adventure Center that offers many water activities like Kayaking and day sails. Another concession offers jet ski tours. You can also rent boogie boards. It's all a matter of what your friend wants or likes to do.

After you leave the Lechon truck, you can get back on the road going in the same direction, and make a right at the (are there 2 traffic signals or one?) light by Tillett's. Stay on that road until you get to Red Hook.

There was one on St Croix in conjunction with the Blues Cruise. You might want to check next year's Blues Cruise to see if they're returning to STJ.

Well, you've certainly inspired me. I had an older model Kodak underwater, and it broke before I could use it snorkeling. At those prices you can get more than one for backup.

WOW!

Thanks so much for posting the video. Two questions:
1. Were you using the Kodak Playsport? I haven't heard of a Kodak 123.

2. Are you an advanced snorkeler? By advanced I mean did you dive down to take the video or were you on top of the water?

I don't think the Lime Inn will be open for Thanksgiving. When I called them earlier in the week, they said they would be closed. Cinnamon Bay's Restaurant usually has Thanksgiving menu. Starfish has their deli Thanksgiving menu with turkey, ham, two kinds of stuffing, mashed potatoes, seasoned rice...

Post No Longer on Craigslist

I reported it again yesterday as miscategorized, because he posted it under JOBS/CUSTOMER SERVICE, as though he was offering employment. It looks like Craig deleted it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

No wonder that nut case can't get a job.

I flagged his post as illegal, because it's illegal to "live" on the beach in the VI. You can only camp with permits for temporary periods. That's all we need in the VI - hundreds of homeless people living on the beach. I don't think that craigslist category gets many readers, so hopefully...

Hike Caneel Hill!

Caneel is closed until next week, so if you hike now, you'll probably have the beach to yourselves! Absolute heaven!

The pillow, IMO, isn't expensive if you look at it as a work of art (which it is!)

Virgin Islands Photos from the Air via LIAT Airlines

Thanks to the tips in the St John Snorkeling Photos thread, I've got enviable photos of the VI taken when I was on a LIAT flight to Grenada! You can see them here: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1212691 Please feel free to correct the photo locations. I was concerned with the shot b...
