We just ate there last week, but the only photo I have is of DH and I and you can't make out the background. It is a very pretty outdoor setting that seems perfect for a St. John reception - after you walk through the convenience store to get inside. :) Of the restaurants we ate at I thought Rhumb L...

We just got back yesterday and the location closed (all signage taken down) while we were there. When we arrived the Surly Cantina signage and hours were up and we saw it open a couple of times during the day, but never at night. We noticed all the signs were down either Thursday or Friday pm.

We're going to miss you all by a couple of hours. But if anyone sees a pregnant woman waddling around the island or floating on the surface of the ocean like a beached whale next week - that's me.

Thanks for all the feedback. Since we can check for free I think I'm going to do that and fill up with dry goods. I figure it will save $$ overall that way. DH keeps making fun of me b/c I'm spending so much time trying to plan instead of just buying each and every thing we'd need once we get there....

Thanks for the feedback. I could carry 1oz sunscreens for my face, but not my body (I'm big and pregnant). USPS's flat rate boxes are $14.95, correct? Does Connections charge a fee for holding boxes? The flat rate box might be a good idea b/c I could cram it full of dry goods as well, we could pack ...

Two weeks until departure and I'm working on the minutia. I'd like to pack carry on (although DH has preferred status so there would be no fee for check in), but am getting stuck re. sunscreen (I need a lot of) and bug spray. Is there some trick for these items or is it a numbers game (cheaper to bu...

DO NOT COUNT ON THERE BEING A 5:30 SUNDAY FERRY~ We were there a couple weeks ago and they decided the 5:30 ferry would be a 5:00 ferry that Sunday so we missed it by like 10 minutes... :evil: Luckily, there was a 5:30 running out of RH that day so our cabbie busted his butt to get us over there in...

Thanks for all the well wishes.

So is walking with carry on luggage to Grande Bay doable? I'd much rather just walk there, get settled, go out for dinner and pick up a couple items at that late night convenience store by Rhumbaline's (what is Rhumbalines?) on the way back.

First off I want to thank you all for your participation in this forum - the information I've garnered is invaluable. Now for a little more I'd like feedback on... We're flying into STT on a Sunday with a 4:10pm arrival. We're planning to pack carry on and head straight to the ferry from the airport...

We're staying there the end of January and I found our rental very easily through vbro. My understanding is that every unit has a balcony that looks out over the bay (not sure if that is where the sun sets). The owner of the place we're renting said he thought the pool was to open this month.

I'm getting ready to buy a travel guide and I'm wondering what the core differences are between these two books? I'd prefer to buy one of them.

Thanks!

I'm getting ready to purchase our flights (was hoping for a mid-week price drop) and while the ones I was looking at haven't dropped, the price on an earlier return flight has. We can fly out at either 3:30 or 5:30 on Saturday afternoon. 3:30 works if we just plan to spend the am in STJ and then hea...

We're going to extend our trip by a day...not fantastic, but the best DH can do with work. So Sunday - Saturday. I still think we're going to rent a car for just a part of our trip since we're staying right in Cruz Bay, probably for 3 full days since we are either going to charter a boat for a day o...

Thanks for all the feedback! It's great to hear the suggestions.

I'm kind of the explorer type so I think we'll definitely want to travel to at least one nearby island. How rough is the travel between islands? I hadn't considered any risk to my pregnancy from traveling by boat.

Thanks for the response and book recommendations. I'll definitely check them out.

I can't decide if shipping supplies for just the two of us makes sense?
