The Cowpet Bay Villas are great. We actually stay at the Elysian and love it there. I just was notified that the former Ainsley's is now "The Lobster Shack" and the food is good. The former Robert's is supposed to be open by high season. We really were sorry to see the old ones leave the r...

The same thought has crossed our minds of relocating to Florida. Looking forward to reading your blog and keeping up with the latest developments. Good luck and hope everything works out. I am sure it will be a great move for you both and so much closer to our favorite vacation destination!

Just checking mine, too. After the earthquake, hurricane Irene, and now hurricane Lee, we have had enough bad weather around here and wish we could escape to the islands! At least we do not have the terrible winds this time, just a lot of rain. Scoob, I guess you have much the same as we do.

I just can't believe this....what a shock. That place will surely be missed.

kma27, we will probably be passing you at the airport. That will be a sad day for us as we are there Feb. 11-25. Enjoy the planning and the trip.

I really like R&I Patton because they carry Sonya's hook bracelets....the original ones from St. Croix. Coral Bay Jewelers has some great ones, too.

That's great, Scoob. That is our favorite time of the year to visit. Happy planning.

I will keep praying for you and your mother. I am so relieved that the test results were so favorable.

I am so thankful to hear the good news and see how wonderful Luke looks. Such a happy boy and he looks so good after his surgery.

Thank you to the donor family and I hope more people decide to sign up for this as it is truly a wonderful gift to someone in need.

Thinking of you and praying for you and your mom.

WOW, he looks great so soon after surgery. What an answer to thoughts and prayers from everybody. So happy for all of you.

Thanks for sharing your eventful family trip. Sorry about all the blips, but you seemed to still enjoy everything. I know there will be more of these trips in your future. Loved the cottages and perfect for a family.

Your trip report just gets better and better. I will be disappointed when your trip is over! Such a neat place to stay. Love the pictures, too.

I have been thinking of you, little Luke and your entire family. It is such a blessing that everything worked out with the perfect match. Still praying that he will have a speedy recovery and will join you in St. John soon.

Well said, Exit Zero. We love the history and culture of STT as well as the beaches such as Lindquist and Magens. The restaurants are wonderful, too. If you had a car, it is fun to explore the island. There is so much to see and do. However, if you have limited time and you have not seen most of STJ...
