Just did it a few weeks ago...we were on the Sunday AA flight from STT to San Juan leaving at 9am. Sure enough at 5:59am, a guy opened up the gate next to the ferry at Cruz Bay and sold us our tickets (nobody ever showed up at the ticket office window so don't sweat that if they don't). We left like...

A few more tips on Denis...the hike from the Peace Hill trail to Denis Beach really isn't very far...it's just that the trees are so dense (and the trail narrow) that it seems long than it is... Once you come out of the bush, you'll see those chocolate jagged rocks STJ is known for to the left, the ...

It's like I never say, "ask not what the forum can do for you...but what you can do for the forum."

My pain, your gain.

And I wasn't wearing huaraches ...they were espadrilles made out of hemp.

Or at least I think they were. i don't remember, I blacked out above 800 ft. elevation.

After a few drinks at the Beach Bar....we're all 20-something.

Have fun, be safe, and you might want to cue up Jimmy Buffett's, "Fins", and take notes before you go.

A few tips from someone who is on record making this trail a lot harder than it needs to be: 1) Wouldn't go as far as to say hiking boots are necessary, but I would definitely go with a good pair of tennis shoes...Tevas, Keens are okay, but you're going to want the ankle support as there are several...

By no means an expert on snorkeling STJ, but my wife and I did enjoy exploring the left side of Little Lameshur on out and around Yawzi Point...the chop can get pretty good at the tip of the point, but other than that it was a cakewalk. Lots of little coves to explore and tons of fish... As far as s...

Happy Hump Day St. Johnians, Thanks as always for the nice feedback and hope you enjoy the latest installment. As for the guy who asked what part of Dallas I live in, that would be Lake Highlands. And to the woman who offered to sponsor a vacation just to read more of these...you had me at hello. On...

What's up STJ party people, Once again, thanks for all the wonderful feedback...nothing better than making people laugh. For those of you who are lamenting a lack of pictures/proof of this motley cruise...they're coming...my wonderful wife and editor will be dropping these recaps into a blog along w...

Happy Friday, Forumites (why does that always sound so prurient when I say it...don’t answer that). First off, my sincere thanks for all the encouraging feedback from my first installment…of course now the pressure’s on and I may need to go see A-Rod’s cousin in order to deliver 7 more crowd pleaser...

This forum provided my wife and I with such great info before our trip to STJ, hopefully I can give back with a few laughs... The following is a detailed (read: verbose) trip diary for the week of June 7 – 14: Sunday, June 7 (Travel Day) – “St. John is an attitude, not a destination.” 4:02am - There...

My wife and I leave for STJ on Sunday and about the only thing I haven't gotten smart on his the arrival...weI arrive at 1:30 and will probably head to Red Hook to catch the 3pm. We're actually hoping we have a bit of a wait for the ferry as we'd like to go get a drink at Duffy's or one of the other...
