Re: North Shore road or Centerline road?

I guess this has to do with the whole "view" thing, I usually take centerline at night and NS road during the day. To be honest I don't find there to be all that much of a time difference either way, maybe +/- 5-10 minutes at best. I also believe centerline has lights while NS does not :?

Re: Day trip to Jost by ferry with expiring passport

I have never heard of that? I would believe as long as you return prior to expiration you'd be safe.
Here is a link with some numbers for the BVI Customs and Immigrations Offices to confirm, Good Luck!

Re: Anyone fly out of JFK?

I've used THE PARKING SPOTt (formally Avistar) for years with no problems, very convenient - you just pull in and go, they valet park your car, assist with luggage and take you directly to the terminal, their shuttles run about every 10 minutes.
