Full day, hands down. We always head all the way out to Waterlemon, snorkle, have lunch and then slowly make our way back, stopping at whatever beaches/snorkle spots capture our fancy. A half day (we did that once) isn't enough time to really enjoy the trip. Have an awesome time!

Hu, Allicat, First of all, congratulations! My husband and I were married on STJ 10 years ago, and cannot imagine a more beautiful and special place for exchanging vows. We were married by AnneMarie Porter (incredible woman) and our photos were shot by Constance Wallace, who did a fabulous job. She ...

Wine & STJ

My husband and I save special bottles of wine for our trips, and purchased a special wine carton with foam inserts and a canvas cover, with handles and lock, to check with our luggage. It has worked beautifully for 3 trips to STJ. I checked the International Wine Accessory (IWA) website, which was w...

Hi, all...I just returned from STJ and didn't hear or meet anyone with the flu during the past 10 days. I did, however, feel a little cold coming on around 3 days into the trip. It must have been jet lag (or perhaps a Painkiller hangover!!!) because it vanished the next day. To answer Ruth's questio...

LOVE the report, Mary Beth! I'm proud of you for driving...that's something I haven't yet done on previous STJ trips. Maybe this time? The food porn is especially great. Thank you!!

Three days and counting

The many Forum-ites who have been to STJ and returned, posting awesome trip reports, have been so inspirational. Thank you. I am incredibly stressed by work (I'm a business-owner, and of course, everything is going crazy now...as it always does prior to vacation) and am living for the moment that we...

Thanks for another terrific installation! Regarding your comments about getting married on a STJ beach, it's not too late for you and Mr. Flop! My hubby and I were married 10 years ago at sunset on Trunk Bay (yes, sounds insane, but we were alone save for a handful or snorklers who watched from afar...
