Re: 1:05 Layover in Miami?

Take the longer layover. Especially with the size of your group. Sometimes we arrive and depart from gates that are next to each other. Other times we have to take the SkyTrain to a more distant gate. There are a good variety of restaurants and shops in the Miami airport.

Re: FORK IN THE ROAD

Fork in the Road is a large metal fork that is located at the corner of a road intersection with Gifft Hill Road. I don't know if the road has a name. Everyone just says turn at the Fork.

I gets decorated for the holidays.

Re: Fresh Produce?

These are sold at stands in the park or next to Connections in Cruz Bay. On 2nd Saturday, a St. Thomas farmer sets up his stand in Coral Bay by the church. Here are dir...

Everyone talks about marijuana but the real drug dealing problem is cocaine and crack. Current law makes weed a misdemeanor citation with a fine of $100-200. At the meeting with the VIPD, we were informed that the police do not have citation books for marijuana infractions. They are waiting for the ...

sunscreen news

Trunk Bay on St. John was included in a study with Hawaii about the use of sunscreens. Now Hawaii is taking action to save their reef. Each of us can take individual action now without a law. http://www.treehugger.com/ocean-conservation/hawaii-wants-ban-chemical-sunscreens-save-its-coral-reefs.html

Re: Been away A LONG time! But coming back 'home!'

Yes, St. John has changed a lot in 7 years. The beaches are more crowded. Tourists have found what in the past were primarily local's beaches. Many more rental jeeps on the roads. But it is still a magical place. You don't have to stay at Caneel to snorkel there. There is a $20 parking fee if not a ...
