Congratulations P-600.
I could see myself totally living on St. John. I hope everything works out for you there!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PIA!! And thank you for helping all of us out with our endless questions.

This was back in 2007 but I went with a group of 8 girls and stayed at the Hali Lani. Amazing villa, amazing views, both morning & evening. I think it is close to your price range. Check it out

thank you so much for this picture. now I have a piece of STJ with me everyday as I have set it as my desktop.

Welcome IndyKato. I am a hoosier as well. Been to STJ twice now and hoping to be going back soon. I have done boat loads of research on almost everything on the island so if you think I can help you with something then ask away, I'd been glad to help you out. I LOVE planning and research

Maho is by far my favorite beach but the last time there I went to Gibney beach and LOVED it. Just for a view and peaceful, serene place I also really loved Drunk Bay. It is totally rocks but the last time there I parked myself on top of one of the larger rocks and sat and watched the water crash up...

Totally agree with the no Hot Tub :shock: Never could really stand them anyway but after the mental picture I just got now I know for sure NEVER.

Buying would DEFINITELY be an option if I won the lottery too, but as I tell my husband, you have to play to win and since I don't play.......

Good to know so I will know where to place myself. Thanks for the contact info.

Thank you everyone for your input on taxis. I have always taken the "van" taxis before and always ended up half sick by the time I got to Red Hook. I may have to give Rachel a try. Can someone tell me how to get ahold of her?

the last 2 times i've been i left my luggage with the cab driver. he gives you his card so you can call him when you are ready to go to the airport. it's worked out really well both times.

Thank You for all the feedback. I am definitely not at the "money is no object", but I thought it was a good question to ask and just see what everybody thought. I do wish money was no object because I would love to stay in the Presidio, it looks AMAZING!! I would also love to get hooked u...

Thank you for sharing your time on St. John, it made me feel like I was back there again. Your pictures were amazing! Do you mind if I ask what kind of camera you are using to get such sharp pictures under water?
