Love De Islands, Island Girl & I both have Trac Phones that we take with us to the islands...the only problems that we had were certain spots going through the mountains and a spot by Maho...other than that, it was like talking to the neighbor , real clear , no static. On our way over to and on...

Thanks everyone!

First of all, welcome to the forum Love De Islands. Renting a jeep is the best way to go. No depending on others to get you around and you come and go as you please. When you first hit the road on St. John it may seem a little hairy, but you get use to it. As a matter of fact, I actually find drivi...

I'm new to the forum, so I've probably overlooked this info, but can anyone recommend the best way for my dtr and I to tour the island and be able to go to some of the local restaurants a couple of times during the week we're there. Do I hire a taxi service?

Will a pre-paid cell phone, such as a Trac Phone work on STT? What do you all do for phone communication?

Beautiful.....and congrats on your new life together.....

THANKS!!!!! THIS IS GREAT!!!!!

In the mean time there are a number of agency web sites that you can peruse. If you do decide to rent a villa on ST John remember that you will probably ne...

Wow! So much good info. Thanks everyone. I have a little more research to do, but will be making a decision soon because the clock is ticking I appreciate everyone's input. I'll let you all know where we're staying when we book it!:)

You mention you like to stay at B&B's. May I suggest looking at the Crystal Palace. They have an 800 number and you will talk with Ronnie. This will give you a chance at B&B living in a well preserved and kept old family home. And you'll meet a guy, Ronnie, who is one of the best. I have ne...

I actually am looking into someplaces on St. John. Any recommendations?

I did have my eye on the Best Western and now I have some comfirmation that it is a good place for me and my dtr to spend our vacation. It's convenient and fits my budget. I just have to figure out the least expensive way to feed both of us while we're there. I've read and seen sample menus of some ...

I did read that. Thanks Pia.

Ok, thanks JIM.
