Re: STJ (Over or Under) Reactions - June 2014

Thanks for another SUPER TR and loved the chuckles you provided with such wonderful insights!!! We were there the 2nd week in June and had a few early days with a bit of Sahara dust but lucky for us it cleared out and we ended up with more "blue sky days" than not :)

Re: Recommendations

Thanks for the warning on the "skeeters". We will be there in 1 week (next Saturday - 7th-15th - woohoo!!) and after all the rain a couple weeks back I figured they would be in full bloom about the time we arrived. But no matter because we can't wait to be on STJ anyway :D

Re: Good Day, forumites

Hey Lightpacker - we've stayed at Periwinkle in Coral Bay a number of times. It's a great cottage and has everything you will need. We especially love the end of the road privacy and just hanging in the evenings on the screened porch... has a wonderful hammock too! They just redid the pool and lower...

Re: Trip Report 4/13- 4/24

Hi - loving your daily updates and pictures and they are making me really look forward to our trip in June! BTW - just read the Beautiful Ruins and loved it. Thought I would save it for the June STJ beach read, but started it and then couldn't put it down :)

Re: Pirate Bill

My husband and I ran into "Pirate" or "Barnacle Bill" as we referred to him - on our 1st visit to St. John in 2001, at Skinny Legs - he was a most wonderful and interesting St. John character. My husband had several conversations with him over the course of our years vacationing ...

I was in college and spent my summers waitressing saving all my change.... my best friend at the time and I plopped our money down on a Caribbean cruise (my one and only - come on now I was only 20 :) .....

Re: 1 night in STJ

Thanks Iprof - this looks like it will work for us....In order to get the cheaper flight - you know how that goes - we had to come in a day earlier and one more day on STJ is just fine with us :D . I checked out the site and it looks fine for what we need!

Wonderful outdoor showers in each bathroom - lots of room and privacy for 2 couples staying and a 5th guest in the upstairs loft. the views are amazing.... great breezes so kept it cool at night. We would turn out the lights at night ...
