Unfortunately, most of us are experiencing the same thing. The Territory Government interpreted the act that raise the tax as applicable to every rental on or after that date. They were asked if a reservation had been made or if the reservation had been paid for prior to that date did it still apply...

It is an older story and can be found about four pages back. Let's see if this link will work. It looks good in preview. http://newsofstjohn.com/2016/01/27/futu ... /#comments

Rachel is our first choice. We took her on the round trip STT-RH last June/July. If I remember right we were charged $20/px and gave her another $15 each way. On the way home, she kept our bags in the car and dropped up off in downtown. She picked us up 2hrs later and took us to the airport. JIM

We are going to STX for the first time in June. We are staying in Colony Cove near C'sted, and diving with SCUBA. Post a full trip report please.

Have a great trip.

We have used the Emerald Beach Resort. It was, until recently, a Best Western. They removed that title last fall. I will be using them on the way home in July when I have the AA 0800 departure out of STT. It has always been a good room at a reasonable price and the service is good.

Thanks lprof. I looked for St John Tradewinds' Facebook page and couldn't find it.

So that's what it looks like.

I have not figured out why the bags were intact on the cooler in the canoe but most or all of them leaked when thawed out in the refrigerator on STJ. (What a mess to clean up!) They weren't handled more roughly on the way to STJ. We used freezer bags and not storage or sandwich bags. By the way, don...

I agree with PA Girl. The choices are limited in the grocery stores on STJ. Yes, I've seen the improvement in the number of stores, the selection and to a limited extent, the quality over the years. The problem is still the quality and especially the price. I see a piece of meat in the case that is ...

What Conrad Sutton does with his Jeeps, business or customers are of no concern of ours. The issues for us with Conrad are old news, but since you asked... We rented from them one time. When I came in to rent the Jeep I, having been forewarned, was very careful to use" island courtesy" wit...

We use SJCR too. What kinds of problems are you hearing about. If I was Conrad, I would need to charge less to overcome the poor reputation he has earned over the years.

This group appears to have learned from the SEG proposal and made their application a little better but still flawed. The project is smaller and in a different location. That doesn't make it good. It's only going to disrupt a different part of the bay. They make a nod to science, but don't really ad...

St John Car Rental has always taken good care of us. I can't say the same for some of the others. I like the short walk to their office and the high probability that I can park in their lot while in town.

Sell? Doesn't the NPS own the place and lease it to a vendor?

Cliquish is a good term. The questions, comments and trip reports that get the most responses were submitted by those who sit at the cool kids' table.
