Haven't done Love City Live but did the Festival reggae show at the Ball Park last Summer with Tarrus Riley headlining. Droves of folk from STT came over for the show - not many touristas. It was quite chill. They had big piles of plastic lawn chairs on the sides of the field that you could plant wh...

Juliette serves up delicious roti and other local food at Sputniks - her kitchen is currently closed due to remodeling, but the new stove soon come. Wonderful lady.

Tarrus Riley_Innervisions June 24

We haven't been to St. John in a few years but are arriving June 20. Now I see an actual BIG EVENT planned during our stay - and on my birthday to boot. Woohoo! Will this be a huge mob scene or a more typical laid back affair? Seems like the ballpark would provide enough room for everyone to breathe.

We "survived" an American Airlines strike in 1999 - stranded in the Virgin Islands! Didn't even realize that there was a strike until the day before we were supposed to leave. We ended up staying on St John at the Westin since the Villa was booked (someone with AA corporate said to stay wh...

Innervisions US Tour - Kzoo

Will the Michigan forum contingent be in Kalamazoo for Innervisions at the Islandfest friday 6/18?

Does anyone know if Ras Paul skipped out on this summer's tour? Web site names all the Pickerings as "core members" and don't see Paul's pic anywhere.

I believe it is Ajax Mtn Road(?) Heading toward Coral Bay on Centerline it is the first left past the Smoothy Stand. Road is mostly paved now....not nearly as exciting as it used to be!!

We've stayed at Aerie multiple times when the original owners had the place. There is a deck extending off the pool area that gets sun. There is also a view of St. Thomas from the porch, not one of those ear-to-ear sort of views, but the charm of this place is how it is built into the mountain and t...

Bring some swim noodles. You can purchase them on STJ. This brought a smile to my face in that we once launched a multi-hour mission to purchase a noodle on STJ for our daughter which proved unfruitful (give or take 5 years ago). Not only didn't we find one but had some fascinating conversations wi...

Chris,

Got a note from the band....St. Louis is as close as it gets for we Michiganders. I've got a posse for a road trip (kind of a end of summer escape)

See you there?

Pete,

Kat and Dave have a lot of repeat and long term renters that use the house - many migrated over from Aerie after they sold that house a few years back. Probably why there hasn't been much posting about the house. These (KAt and Dave) are good people...you won't be disappointed I'm sure.

Juliana at Sputniks makes a mean chicken roti - sometimes you have to stop by and ask her to make you something and then come by later to pick it up or eat it there so she can go about and gather up the ingredients. You won't be sorry.

Thanks Loria! OK I think this provides the little kick I need to complete a long postponed project. Catherineberg has always been a favorite of our family as well since the 1st time we visited when my daughter was 4 and named it "mean Kevin's house" (yea - I was assigned the role of mean K...
