well at least mack' wife & my wife demanded we get the h out of dodge, sooo another road trip to st john has been booked for 2 wild and crazy guys. we arrive 7/10 dept 7/17 and are going back to sand dollar at battery hill that served us so well in december. nice owner jan is only charging us do...

great job rick. you are true to your later yr roots, the vi's, though you seem to have slipped toward the sea. I had figured you (well until last couple of years) would have been talking to someone about a villa on stj. know you have mentioned sailing Chesapeake so perhaps you have boat back home. i...

jim, no review but a couple of comments other than great location, nice views and wonderful screened porch. I believe this is part of cluster including cocolobo plaza developed and last I heard still owned by james (jim) & mava Phillips. they have done many luxury villas on the island including ...

congrats Sharon. plane fare is cheaper than from atl and you're probably flying thru atl. last minute trips are best! know yall will have a great time getting away from the north country. are you staying high on ajax peak again? papabou I reread your post and I feel better that fare was not on delta...

tq, we've stayed 4 times at c9 on gift hill, just below coconuts and similar floor plan. we love the views from and floor plans of the gh villas. fairly easy drive to cruz bay but its a little farther to any of the north shore beaches, especially those toward the east end. we have also stayed twice ...

bravo! job well done. your shirt needs to be changed to "chief - vi promotions" from "chief - st john promotions". keep up the good work and enjoy while you are still young (relative to this 70th year fan). I forwarded link to your post to both single daughter who has done the ai...

barb,

king street is 1 way for cars and jeeps heading toward prince st. however if you are walking from ferry, you can turn right and walk against traffic. just be careful.

sorry barb, I'm in a mischievous mood this afternoon, I'm about a trip low on stj.

Columbia reread your post and realized you've stayed at apito so you know about "roughly paved" mamey peak rd. bord rd much better to cb & summer wind and another 2 bdrm close by is bord breeze. also there's a larger villa to right of cl rd between overlook and smoothie stand maybe maj...

columbia, miles away looks nice but i've never cared for fish bay and as name of villa implies it's not close to anything except klien & fish bays. though i'm never a fan of moving while on vacation, with 13 days i'd consider a move. the most fun i've ever had on vacation with clothes on some of...

last day and eyes all teary. folks, for 2 guys in their 70th yr, vacations on stj take a lot of energy. we've both been very active yet have gained 10% of our base body weight. i feel like the goodyr blimp and only slightly lighter than ziggy whom we meet on his/her lease going down the hill earlier...

awoke to beautiful day and pulled out at 8:30, slow drive along n shore and stopped at maho. very few folks out and getting a little overcast. went to right end (east) near maho campground. 2 cars in lot, one lady on beach watching her husband and 2 snorkelers near rocks headed toward little maho. s...

cmom, we have a jeep and have never been to stj w/o one. i believe you can get by with renting for couple of days unless avid island tourer (word?) like mack and i. Mack and i stayed on mamey peak in july and loved convenience to north shore and down into cbay. a week in coral bay with a jeep to do ...

becky, i'm honored to get an amen for one of best posters on forum. gtga, we didn't look at klien bay but there was a post a day or 2 ago from someone staying in area that the surf was roaring in rendezvous/klien. also never looked at how to get to water if not staying in klien bay.

for those who really care, i will start numbering reports after 1st three: windy, yesterday & today, & change of prospective. will also shorter repts while memories still fresh. after lunch what's his name (whn) and i walked down to frank bay for a swim. me in my lovely royal blue swim shirt...

i fussed at mack all evening about gbay timeshare tour he signed up for this am but went anyway to keep him from pouting all day and it was raining. well after having had 3 nites at bhill and music from cruzb and convenience of happy hr, i saw gbay from different perspective. i was impressed. nice d...
