We took 22 lbs of boneless prime rib when we went to St John in November (we had a large group). My husband packed the two pieces of meat in large ziplock freezer bags first (no leaks) and then froze it. Then the night before we left he wrapped them in several layers of newspaper and then several la...

Call Rachel Brown 340-771-2986. I believe she has grandchildren so maybe she might be able to borrow an infant seat for your ride. If not, she can give you suggestions. She's a very nice, reliable taxi driver.

That could be a huge money maker for the park service, like the wild pig hunts in Hawaii!

17th hole - Check out Serendip condos. My daughter and her BF stayed there in November and loved it. I stayed in a villa with a group of friends but did go in to look at the unit after my daughter raved about it. They're not luxury, but they're clean, comfortable and very convenient. Pretty roomy to...

You could probably Google that and come up with plenty of hits. Olive oil with a coarse salt added would make an excellent body scrub but I don't know what the proportions should be. I'm sure you could add some sort of fragrance too if you wanted.

I agree that some tourists expect to be treated like royalty for spending their money there. I like that St Johnians are polite and courteous but not swarming all over you like some places in the Bahamas, etc. I've only run into two people on St John who were outright rude. One was a woman working i...

The villa in that link is the one that's about halfway down Dittliff. When I was there in early November I snorkeled down from Klein Bay and got a good look at the place from the water. It must have just been completed because there were still lots of construction going on in November when I was the...

I personally like staying at the Cruz Bay end of the island because it is much more accessible to a larger number of restaurants, shops, food stores, etc. Hart Bay is an easy drive from Cruz Bay even at night because it's just past the Westin. The roads aren't that bad there and aren't totally dark ...

You could spend a couple hours browsing the shops in Mongoose Junction. Don't miss Caravan Gallery for very interesting and reasonably priced jewelry that's ideal for souvenirs. Walk over to Wharfside Village for lunch at Waterfront Bistro or one of the other restaurants overlooking Cruz Bay. Or vic...

Sitting in the moonlight caressed by the warm breeze, listening to the tree frogs sing their night songs to the moon and twinkling stars.....an ending to the day that utterly satiates my body and soul.
