@Mit43: Show me an example of where it has worked. Billions of dollars wasted that could have went to more useful programs. A small amount of the money spent by the USA on its corporate prison system could do wonders for a variety of head start type programs in the USVI. Look at Mexico, Look at the ...

My SO edited out all of our negative experiences in writing this. She also gave the villa a 5 star review on Homewaway and left out all of our negative experiences. Why? Because we ended up having a great trip. Cimarron and the owners were more than gracious in accommodating us and we didn't want to...

Prohibition creates an underground market with no regulation, creating gangs and creating violence. The problem isn't the people, its the lack of regulations and the laws. End prohibition and you reduce the gangs and violence.

Thanks for all the comments everyone, glad you enjoyed it. Please if you can share it on your Facebook or twitter or blogs. My beautiful SO and I are having a little friendly competition to see who gets more views :) :) I'm winning. :) If you double click any Youtube video it will take you to its Yo...

Maybe, just maybe the world should pay a fair wage for a fair days work and all this tipping stuff could go back to being a bonus for a job well done or extra treatment. You paid for the ferry, you paid for the bags, now they want a tip?

My beautiful, darling and patient SO wrote out a trip report for you all to read. Barracuda videos at the end. We are a family of three (two adults, 32m 36f and one child 11m) from Atlanta who just had our first visit on St John. What an amazing place. We arrived Saturday, June 26 late afternoon, to...

We were just playing around with this video. It is a time lapse of driving from Coral Bay to the end of East End. Slowed it down for the pretty ocean views and animals. Watch out for baby goats near the end. Shot with an iphone 4 and edited with iMovie. <object width="640" height="385...

Yes kids could do it, no running at the top though. The hike is easy. The only thing is once you reach the top, if you screw up/around to close to the edge the penalty for failure is steep. Very stable and level though on the actual top so you don't feel scared. I took pics and video of me walking r...

Family was too tired and all worn out so at 6 PM ish I left the villa to hike Rams Head alone and it was EPIC! I'd say as exciting as any of the snorkels in a different way. Huge soaring cliffs with very stable and easy walk ups. Loud crashing sound of the ocean below. I wouldn't suggest running aro...

So over in Coral Bay there is a nice stretch of road with a putrid smell of garbage leading up to the dumpsters. The is always at least one if not almost a dozen people there just hanging out on what seems to be the worst view on the island of the dumpster and the smell of rotting death. What gives?...

Just about to pass the half way flag and here are some quick highlights: THE RADIO! Love the DJ's singing along, throwing in calls, talking about the meanings of songs, mo fire! boh boh! Wonder how long till they start playing dubstep ? Tektite snorkel was well TIGHT. Made Waterlemon seem tame compa...

The owner is giving us free sea horse rides to every island!!! No seriously they are spraying for bugs, moving us to another unit and a bit more that is well beyond what I expected and I'd feel rude discussing the details in public. The feeling I got from the owner about how much they just wanted us...

First off thank you to everyone for the kind replies and suggestions. we called the management company and they were so so with the response so I called the owner and she was more than accommodating, so accommodating I now need suggestions on a great gift to send a villa owner in the states or somet...

I'm calling on the accumulated wisdom of more experience St John travelers for our first time St John trip to please let me know how I should proceed. So far, I am miserable on our vacation on St John. We were given the wrong key the first night and got locked out of our Villa. Told where to find th...
