Are there any places in Cruz Bay (or in that area) that make fresh bread/baguette/bagels? If there are multiple do you have a favorite?

Well I must day you are doing better than some of us. The only Avatar I know is the movie my youngest daughter keeps wanting to watch!

Glad to see you have your ticker and I hope you find or are able to create your avatar.

First timer needs advice!!! We are flying back home on Nov 26 and the flight leaves at 3:49 p.m. The cruise ship schedule shows no ships on STT and 1 on St. John that day. What time should we be on a car ferry to head back to STT? We want to stay on St. John as long as we can (probably obvious to al...

We had the kids (11,9 and 7) snorkel in a local pool this summer to get them ready as we will also be first timers. We have a reservation with Palm Tree on our 4th day on the island so we will also have a couple days to snorkel from the beach. For fares many travel websites (I have used Orbitz) have...

I checked out Seat Guru. Very cool...thanks for the tip!

My family will be with Palm Tree Charters for the first time in 2 weeks. After reading reviews here, on tripadvisor and elsewhere I am confident it is money well spent.

I will post more details after my trip.

I would definitely go with the 11:15 arrival. With 3 hours even if there are longer lines you will most likely be at the gate with well over an hour to spare.

Thank you for the Caneel idea. I will look into it.

I thought of one more question in addition to great seafood and Thanksgiving day recommendations:

Are there any restaurants that are not kid friendly where we will not fell welcome.

We have started packing and can't wait for our first trip to St. John. Seeing that we have never been to the island I was hoping to get ideas from all of you on restaurants that we should not miss. We will eat breakfast and most lunches in our villa and eat most dinners out. The wife is excited for ...

I received an email form the Westin stating that the main pool opened yesterday 11/03. Website this morning still stated 11/14.

Tennis courts and several other things are still not scheduled to open back up until early December.

Thank you for all of the responses. When I checked the reservation I found that we had two window seats on the left. I have changed to one of each. Boys on the right and girls on the left. I will report back after the trip.

Thanks again!

We are hoping to stop at a grocery store on the way to the car ferry to St John. Does anyone have any experience going to Plaza Extra Foods? We are looking for a grocery store to pick up essentials. Looking for good fruit and veggie selection.

Maybe a silly question but I was wondering if anyone has noticed if one side of the plane is better to be on for views when flying into St. Thomas.

We are flying in to STT in 3 weeks and I usually try to get 2 window seats for the kids. Our route is Atlanta to STT.

Getting excited!!!

Can't wait to find out what St. John is like in person!

My family and I will be coming to St. John for the first time in November. I have been dreaming of going on this trip for at least a decade and have finally gotten to the point where we have saved enough to go. Very excited and love this forum and all the people and insights that are made available....
