Re: Adjacent villa combos-need 8 bdr & 8 bth

Destination St John has several villas that are adjacent. They have been very helpful to us and I am sure they could help you too.

Re: Trip report 4-29 thru 5-9 part 1

I have been gong to St John for years and have always wanted to do the glass blowing class and you did it as newbies. I am so jealous and mad at myself because now I have missed it. Sounds like you had a wonderful and busy trip...thanks for your very nice trip report.

Re: Some Pics

Sounds like a great 2 weeks and in your pictures neither of you look as though you could have been married 38 years! it must be the St John air that makes you look young!
Your pictures were amazing.

Re: "Life on a Rock" video

Thanks for the video...I even caught a glimpse of my son in it! That's what happens when you pass your love of St John onto your children...they move there!

Re: Top 11 Absurd Responses To STJ Hypotheticals

I would have to be on my very favorite beach...Honeymoon. Not sure I like the new stand because I used to pretend it was my beach which is hard to do when there is a concession stand behind you. But then again at least I could be sitting in one of their comfy chairs. I would stop at Sam and Jack's a...

Re: April 26-May 4 - Trip Report (Part III)

I am so sorry to see your trip report end...I felt like I was back on St John myself for a few moments. Thanks for taking the time to do such a descriptive report. I loved it.

Re: Website for Current Water Temps?

St John Life website posts daily happenings, weather and water temp daily..I think the water temp is St. Thomas though it should be about the same.

Re: Best place for lunch on or around Jost Van Dyke?

The lobster quesadilla at One Love is not only delicious but it is also huge. I could only eat half...we did have some scrumptious wings to start so I wasn't hungry enough for the large serving. I loved the atmosphere there too. Service was relaxed but competent. We had lunch there after being sever...

Re: At least I get to see my dog again

We just brought some newbies on our March trip(I know, I know I owe a trip report--if I could write like some of you it would be easier). We had a 2 week trip and they stayed the first week. We had only one jeep. We had a ball with them but they are easygoing up for anything kind of people who are F...

Re: Leinester Parking?

I was there in March; 2 jeeps were parked just past the bridge. The newbies I took were amazed that someone had actually driven on that "road". I had told them that some drove down the path to cut the hike short but they didn't believe me till they saw the cars!

Re: Another snorkeler died in waters off of St. John

I have done the loop around Waterlemon many many times. I have gone around both ways; clockwise and counter clockwise. Not once have I felt any current or difficulty swimming and we always go in from the beach instead of the point closest to the cay. This March we brought 2 newbies to St John and co...

Re: Car Barge

Wow, I have never had this happen and I have taken the car barge to St John at least 10 times...not much if you are a local but lots for a visitor! You just park in the line where everyone else is. Some may try to cut you but just keep going with the flow... The line-up is not a straight line but ro...
