We were there for 10 days in early april. We stayed in a tent the first few days and then moved to a cottage. It was our fourth trip to cinnamon bay, past trips had only been in a cottage. Tents are cheaper than cottages, but I do think the cottages is my best choice. We were in a tent on site 21, r...

I can't say enough about Bouganvilla car rental. Polite and happy to see me, always a winning customer service policy. When we got to the island, we were a little concerned about how I would come back to the dock to pick up my wife and the luggage. But on the way out I spent an hour relaxing on the ...

Trip Report 4/3 to 4/13

This was our fourth trip to St. John, and it was wonderful to be back. We flew through Ohare and Maimi with AA. Even though we had short connection times (less than 40 minutes) we lucked out and very close gates. We arrived on the 8:30pm arrival so it was dark when we arrived. The view was very beau...

Anthony,
How about Day Sails. Every trip, I seem to take a lot of time to search the old threads for reviews. I'll be on St John in four days and will be back the 13th, just in time to write a review.
Thanks

Also, they will let you change it every 30 days. I'm already looking for the next picture. Maybe Hawksnest, no, maybe that morning at Francis.

Cheers

This topic is very interesting. I like seeing how how trips compare to others. We have been to St John 3 times, the 4th is coming in about 3 weeks. Here is how the four of us do it for about 10 days: 1600 Airfare from TVC (cashed in some miles) 60 parking at airport 600 Hotel in St Thomas first and ...

New use for those pictures

Capital One allowed me to use my own image on my credit card, so I chose a picture of Trunk Bay I took a couple of years ago. Here is a copy of the proof. (generic name and card number)
How cool is that!

I know, I am easily amused

Thanks for all the support

I guess a lot more people than I realized feel the same way I do. Already bought the vests. Bright Green ones too. Just can't wait to feel the sand and listen to the underwater quiet. No phones, clients or employees. And that swim last year to Little Cinnamon was tricky. I had pushed myself to catch...

Really, will I look foolish ...

I have just a couple of weeks before the warm sand and sunshine and the snorkeling. Last year, I pushed my self a bit too much trying to swim from Cinnamon over the coral to Little Cinnamon. I guess the years behind a desk are starting to catch up with me. The 40s are a lot harder than the 30s were....

Day Trip with Liminos

To anyone that has taken the Limnos trip to the Baths. I have a couple of questions...
Where do they pick you up in Cruz bay? is it at the Park Ferry Dock?
And can you park at the ferry dock?
Any other tips would be great
Thanks!
