Re: Charlotte airport?

22 minutes is not a "legal" connection. There needs to be at least 30 minutes between flights. There is always that chance that you will take off from a gate next or across from the arrival gate. There is a much higher probability that you will be 20 minutes from the next gate. If you have...

Re: Advice on snorkel fins

I have no differences with any of the earlier posts. I is all personal preferences. The mask is critical. It must fit well. The dry snorkel is also good to have. When the water has a little chop, the dry snorkel will prevent most of the water from getting down to the mouthpiece. I like my full foot ...

Re: Insect Repellent suggestions?

We had a good deal of success with Off Clip-ons. The put out a cloud of repellent about 12 feet in diameter. When one is sitting in a chair, on the beach on the neat sheets r standing at the grille, they work very well. They do not help you with insects if you are moving about such as hiking. We wou...

Re: diving in STJ

That's a difficult question for anyone, except the two of you, to answer. I don't know what you saw that you liked. What are you hoping to accomplish when you dive? Although I've not dived at Grand Cayman, I suppose the experience will be somewhat different in the VI. Are you certified of did you do...

Re: Nine delegates

And the one with the most toys....in an election that means money wins. The best election money can buy is the US one. Rock on! I think, until Jeb! ran, most of us believed that money always won. Jeb! had more money than any candidate except Trump, and he won nothing. He didn't even show up in the ...

Re: St John vs Hawaii snorkeling

We have never been to Hawaii. Our daughter and son-in-law just came back from Kona, however, and were not impressed with the snorkeling. Having said that, we have all gone to a STJ beach and been disappointed by the visibility, damaged coral, or absence of marine life at times. They need to know tha...

Re: Fourth Trip, What's New?

Low Key goes there every Thursday. They leave about 7:30 am and return around 2:30 or 3 pm. They need a minimum of 6 divers to go and I think they have a maximum of 12. We missed out in '11 when we couldn't make the minimum and again in '15 when they were fully booked. They stop off at Tortola to ch...

Can you name one thing that that the VI Government has done that WAS apparently thought through?

Re: Fourth Trip, What's New?

Since you are a scuba/snorkel couple, consider taking the dive trip to the Rhone. He can dive and you can snorkel. It is an "all-day" trip that you couldn't/wouldn't want to take with children. It is one of the best, if not the best, dive I've ever made.

Have a great trip
