My new bride and I rented a powerboat for a day back in October. It was an awesome experience, but very expensive! We rented from Ocean Runner. The guy who runs the place was very helpful and very thorough in explaining how the boat works, showing you ocean charts, etc. We had considered going to th...

I used the Bing predictor when I was trying to determine the best time to buy tickets also. The predicted price drop did happen, but it was on a different airline from what I wanted to fly on (was using Delta SkyMiles, so needed Delta flight). Equally or more importantly is to check the seat availab...

Would a GPS with an up to date map provide any benefit for driving around St. John?

For the last two days I've had problems accessing this forum -- the site would just freeze up and I wouldn't be able to do anything but wait for Internet Explorer to finally shut down. I started using Mozilla Firefox today and haven't had the same problem - so, maybe other internet explorer users ha...

This post certainly got me thinking ... would you St. John veterans really recommend this kind of thing? I imagine there will be a number of different times that my wife and I will be out swimming or snorkeling with our valuables left on the beach (keys, camera, etc.).

I'm so glad I had a chance to watch Big Brother last night on DVR -- I was NOT expecting a spoiler to come from this board. This could have been devastating!

Sorry for directing this post off-topic.

Great review and food pictures! Thanks! (is that better?)

I can share in your anxiousness - I'm keeping the location of our honeymoon a secret until the day of our wedding -- it's so difficult to plan this trip and be so excited without giving anything away.

Officially bought plane tickets Saturday night, too!

pmk, thanks for the link!! Great pictures!

A lot of people have shared opinions on favorite restaurants and favorite foods on St. John, but they say "a picture is worth a thousand words". I love the occasional food pictures people post, so is anyone else interested in a whole thread of pictures? If so, please post away! I don't kno...

1)If I could choose between a window seat on the left side of the plane or the right side of the plane when flying into STT, which side would provide the best and/or most interesting view on arrival? I imagine only the most veteran St. John traveler would know the answer to this question. :) 2) Ever...

This St. John forum is such a great tool for helping plan a trip! I'm getting married on October 22nd, 2011 and have a villa booked in St. John for a 10 night honeymoon. I've gotten a lot of info from this board, but I was hoping to get a few more questions answered as well as to have some ideas con...

Huh?

Subject line: "Rum Cake for wedding on St. John, June 2012"

Message: My fiance and I would like to taste a Rum Cake when we are on island, the second week in Oct 2011"

What is the question? When?

Has anyone ever rented a boat and been their own Captain for the day? I'm planning on doing this in October. I would love opinions and suggestions? Should I worry about getting lost?

Thanks!!
