Homeaway, VRBO etc.
I am assisting to book a vacation to ST Thomas in November with friends. I have no experience with any of the booking sites. I am just looking for any helpful information. I already sent one email, and I guess I am dealing with a booking company , not the owner? I must read more about their process....

Re: 50th group vacation...
The decision has been made to go to Puerto Rico. We plan to arrive Thursday Nov 10th or Friday the 11th. Most of the group can only do a long weekend, and will fly out on Tuesday. My best friend and I have decided to stay the rest of the week and plan to fly to an island on Tuesday for a few days. I...

50th group vacation...
Hello friends, I am a part of a group celebrating 40th and 50th birthdays next November. Unfortunately, they are looking for something other than St John ! :( I figured I would ask the experts since you guys are so intelligent. The requirements are swim up bar, with lots of activities in the area, a...

Re: Early AM layover in San Juan???
Samoka, We snooze on the plane as well. We had a great breakfast at Cruz Bay Landing when we arrived, while we waited for our jeep. Our rental agency is good about letting us pick up by 9-10 a.m. Off to drop off our luggage and hit the beach. Maybe a brief afternoon nap ( sometimes at the beach) and...

Re: Early AM layover in San Juan???
Yes, we have done it several times. In fact, we did it for our March trip this year. The airport is going though some construction, and this year we were in a different area than previous years. The chairs were new and were hard metal, and the airport was freezing! Not comfy to snooze in, and limite...

Re: Best snorkel spot !
Thanks for that info Pam! I love trying new snorkel spots and I will put that one on the list. Who was the captain? Who did you rent the boat from? We've never done that before. Glad you had a wonderful experience! My husbands nephew lived on St Thomas for several years as a pharmacist and he met a...

Best snorkel spot !
For those of you that do the boat rental for snorkel / beach fun I highly recommend Soldiers Bay- Norman Island , BVI !! It was like swimming in an aquarium. Large sea fans... I could go on and on. LOVED LOVED LOVED it ! And the best part.. we had it all ourselves! Our boat captain took one look at ...

How early is too early ?
We land at 7:30 am on St Thomas on Thursday. This puts us on island at 9:00 ish. How early is too early to get drink at the Beach Bar? I wonder what time they open? A celebratory breakfast mimosa seems like a good idea.

Re: 10 more days..now what?
Donna-I always have a snack in our carry on. I can't stand to pay 10 for a nasty sandwich in the airport! I was a bad girl and I started tanning last month. I only do it when are going on a trip so I wont burn to a crisp while snorkeling. I still put on loads of sunscreen every hour. FlaGeorge- Been...

Re: Snow Blowing the driveway
You SAID IT! Here on Cape Cod we've been badly beaten. The sun is shining today and it's very pretty but we're expecting more snow and ice tonight. I've already had one bad fall this winter! We'll be camping in Cinnamon Bay a week from tomorrow! God willing and the planes fly okay.... :D I have alr...
