Thanks Ed.

I saw that article yesterday which led me to look on the STJ forums. No responses yet, so fingers crossed!

I know, I know, disgusting. We were there during the 2015 Invasion and it wasn't fun. The reason I'm bringing it up is I was on another STJ board and there was a posting from April 2018 saying the sea lice were showing up at Hawksnest. There have been no updates since then... My family and I (includ...

July 23 - July 30!!! Bringing the whole family this time - including my granddaughter who was born since my last posting!! Can't wait...!!!

I think DD's has been for sale at this price for over a year.

Thanks pickle and betsyv!

I hope you both enjoy your upcoming trips - even if it happens to rain a bit and the BB is closed for a week!

Yes - the provide directions to Red Hook. Very easy drive though. No worries on that front...

Enjoy!!

Here's another vote for Amalie Car Rental. We just returned from STJ and couldn't have been happier with our car rental. Someone will meet you at the airport to take you to your car. On return, they will meet you at the ticketing area, take the car and leave you with nothing to do but check in for y...

This was our 3rd visit to St. John in the last four years, but it was the first time we asked another couple to join us. We enjoyed showing our “newbie” friends around the island and sharing our previous experiences. I didn’t take great notes on our daily activities so I thought I’d break this repor...

We were on St John from 8/2 - 8/9. We saw many jellies (or jelly like creatures) at Salomon, Trunk, Cinnamon, and Maho. For most of our trip we didn't feel any stings and if we did, they were so minor that it didn't really impact any of our snorkeling or swimming plans. I remember snorkeling late in...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. Lots to consider...

I love having to make choices like this one!!!

I'm looking for input regarding the last day of our upcoming trip. My wife and I, along with another couple, have late afternoon (5 ish) flights home. This is our first trip renting a car (Amalie Rental) and will return it at the airport. We were thinking it might be a good idea to take an early fer...

My wife and I - along with a newbie couple - will be on STJ from 8/2 - 8/9. I would go for the solo trip! Still lots to do... At night, look for a party of four at The Beach Bar or Drink. We'll be there most nights. Would love to introduce ourselves and buy you a drink! See you in a few weeks!! Russ...

Thanks for the info iheartsj!! Good point on using only reef safe products. I went out to the SafeSea website to see if they had any promotional materials related to product safety. Here is what they advertise in their FAQ section: "While the bottle is made of plastic and NOT biodegradable, the...

Thanks very much for the feedback. Sounds like things are getting a bit better - knock wood!

I'll probably order some SafeSea just in case...

Roll on August 2nd!!
