Re: Zozo's

Got to agree with Ed. Hubs insisted on long pants but would never admit he was dying. I wore a sundress and sunset on the rail was overwhelmingly hot. Next time, not on the rail for me, same view but shade! Have fun the food and service was great.

Re: Last Day - Magen's Bay or STJ?

I know a lot of people post about how great Magen's is but here is our experience. Drove out, paid the entrance fee, parked in the crowded lot, walked to the beach, saw wall to wall people, turned around and drove away. Did not come to VI to be packed like sardines on the beach. Also stopped at the ...

Re: Best day to travel home?

I guess we lucked out big time with some good forum advice. We left Saturday May 2 around 5 PM. Easy taxi ride, carry on only and preprinted boarding and customs papers( thanks Rick for that link). One person in front of us at security, no one at customs! Sat and read a book..easy peasy.

Re: Travel Time

I think it is a good thing to try to make another arrangement just in case. We recently had a Sat. arrival time of 1:27. Didn't bother with a private taxi since we thought we could not have made 2:00 ferry. Due to being on the last boarding group we were told our carry-on would not fit, so we had to...

Re: Where to leave luggage for a couple hours

Connections, it is the pink building behind Cruz Bay Landing. Just check their hours. I know they close at 1:00 on Sat and I believe they are closed on Sunday.

Re: Anybody Use Laundry Services in Cruz Bay?

Teresa, I was looking into that for our stay last week. Here is an older post but maybe someone can update. I was worried about towels also. There were plenty for just the two of us, so never bothered. Two are located in Cruz Bay on the road from the traffic circle to the Marketplace (Starfish Marke...

Re: Cruz Views: Questions About 2 Bedroom Condos?

We were at Cruz Views #10 last week and happy to report the grill works. ( two nights other people were grilling , not me!). Plenty of hot water but we never made blender drinks. Got to agree I would have called for sure if something wasn't working.

Re: Anyone rented from Avis lately?

Teresa,
If you are willing to rent on STJ and you stay at Cruz Views, they have some jeeps to rent. The jeep is parked in the ferry area and you follow them up to CV and sign papers. We had a very new jeep.

Re: Cruz Views: Questions About 2 Bedroom Condos?

We just stayed in #10. I do not do ladders since I fell off one and broke a leg. My husband went up to look and he said no way ...it is almost straight up. We didn't need it but just checked it out. The ladder is very heavy/sturdy but not a quick way down. The master has an opening that has shutters...

Re: OK, I think I have to give up reading

You will be fine! We have been unable to travel for years so we really looked forward to this week. Yes, we saw all the seaweed from the plane Sat but none at the beaches. The sealice is a pain but we are lucky not to have any reaction. The Sahara dust isn't a big deal. The weather has been wonderfu...

Re: Stinging Plankton???

The stinging seems to on most Nortn Shore beaches. We both got 1 sting with no reaction. Others itchy welts. Not sure the meat tenderizer will work since there is no visible mark when stung, unless you do a whole body part.

Re: Another US Airways change...ugh

So far so good with 28 days to go. I did pick Charlotte because it was a 90 minute layover instead of philly which was less than an hour. Our plane only has a handleful of seats left.. Should be interesting.
