We took the CA ferry on Sat, May 26 at 4:00 and returned the next Sat back to CA with no problems. It is a smaller boat, but you get there about 15 minutes faster!

Our bags were apparently lost on the STT - charlotte leg. The really scary part is that their computers keep going down - it happened to my brother-in-law in San Juan last month - and no one seems to know how to get it up and running again. We could have carried on, but I've always been annoyed by p...

As of this morning, they still haven't found any of the 7 bags. Apparently USAir upgraded their computer system 4 months ago, and it has been "down" many times since. Right now, we're totally at their mercy. I seem to vaguely remember someone on the forum saying that they always insure the...

We just spent a great week on St John - left on US Air Saturday at 2:20 pm. When we arrived at the airport, we knew something was up when the check-in line was a mile long. Their computer system was out, causing all tickets and baggage tags to be written by hand. I had a bad feeling when they put th...

Also, we are arriving at 3:14 on the USAir flight (only because the tickets were cheap) and I'd like to make the 4:00 ferry from either CA or Red Hook. The realtor tells me tha...

If you can find Modern Organic Products, try their defining creme. I finally quit trying to straighten my hair since I found this product!

I met a woman (Grace Adams) through my local knitting group whose family lived on St John during the 1970's. Her husband was a park ranger there. They knew Ethel McCully well and even attended the wake that Ethel threw for herself on the grounds of Caneel Bay. Grace loaned me her copy of "Grand...

You're supposed to hang the bags in the trees to keep the moongoose out of food you might have in them, not the donkeys. Actually, it would be easier for the donkeys to reach in the trees!
