Final report of our trip

Well, we are on our flight home so I thought I’d finish up our trip reports. Hope you enjoyed parts 1 & 2. I think it is essential that all who follow these forums give a report, no matter how brief or long, on some part of what they enjoyed so others may learn. You have to give it away to keep ...

Our trip report--Days 5-7(You asked for it, you got it) :)

The more time I spend on STT, the more I fall in love. 99% of the people are extremely friendly and willing to help whether you ask for directions, advice on restaurants or where to spend time. Not once have we felt in any danger although I admit we are not late night party people. We have had most ...

Our trip report--Days 1-4

First, St Thomas is even more beautiful than what I expected or remembered from our one day visit off a cruise ship 12 years ago. Part of the reason for that is because of my vantagepoint. Our first night’s stay was at the Mafolie hotel and restaurant and the rest of the time we are staying in a vil...

We are in STT now and spent the first night at Mafolie. This is a very basic hotel room, bed, chair, tv, etc. It is NOT the Marriott in terms of luxury. BUT, it is worth it for the view. You only use a room to sleep in anyway, and if the bed is comfortable, what else do you need. Now, the restaurant...

You know what? I don't care why some prefer STT and others prefer STJ. I only care and know that either STT or STJ is better this time of year than ILL or WIS.

:lol:

Look out VI, here we come. Tomorrow, tomorrow, we love you, tomorrow, you're only a day away.

Well, anthony, we will be there next week and I promise to review our villa on STT and the restaurants and things we do. Although, I have to admit, we will spend more time eating in our villas for supper and having lunch in the restaurants. We are taking the sunset dinner cruise and eating at Mafoli...

We are going to STT this Tuesday and I visit this forum and also go to two other forums that talk about STT and not just STJ. This site has become a big site for STJ enthusiasts to congregate and I am not about to tell them to stop. :) So, I go to one or both of these to discuss STT http://www.vinow...

I am so grateful I booked our trip last fall. I got 2 RT from Chicago ORD at $240 each. With insurance, I booked our 2 tickets for less than the price of one RT today.

I'm curious as to where my ticker is.

Got tickets, sunset cruise, car, hotel, and villa all booked. Can't wait while I watch an ice storm thru my kitchen window today.
