I could be there on the 16th

My ticket for my upcoming trip was over $900...ridiculous! It is usually "just" around $550-600 from here. I hope it doesn't stay like this or we won't be back for a long time.
Marcia, I think I'd wait a month or so. Hopefully they'll drop. Good luck!!

I had posted earlier that my daughter was going to be working at Concordia this summer. I just got the best Mother's Day/Birthday trip to St. John while she's there! So excited! I'll be looking for forum bracelets....need to get one! :) http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/d/4;10732;128/st/20130614/...

Love it! Thanks for the update I will also be following every step on the blog!

Beautiful sunset! and love seeing the surfers

Oh my goodness...I get and love your story so much. I have encountered so many of the same feelings. I hope to pull it off someday when the time is right for us! Good for you all!!!

I agree with you...an escape from the coverage of these tragedies is sometimes needed. Love the pics, especially the second one!! kThanks for the distraction!

I'm just catching up and I am LOVING your reports!!!!! I'm more of a Coral Bay girl, but I've really wanted to stay at Gallows for part of a trip...now so even more so! Thanks for all the great pics!

Thanks Chicken! I read your pm. I'm getting ready to run out the door, but I'll definitely email you later!

Thanks Rick for the link to the trip report and poem...always love reading the TRs! I'm not sure if I'll share the Ralph's poem with her or not:) Hopefully she'll enjoy it. She knows it will be hard work, but feels it will be worth it to spend the time in paradise. She plans to get a part-time payin...

Oh no, I didn't know. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Hi Minde,
Livin' is right by Island Dreams. We stayed there our first trip to St. John and were ready to move I love the views from there! Also check out Lunazul. It's a 2 BR with great views as well. The owners, Stan and Kathy are a pleasure! Happy villa searching!!

Thanks Loria, that helps!!! I can't imagine not absolutely loving it, but I want to make sure she's ready. I should have applied to go with her

Good evening friends... I'd love any information any one has on the work exchange program at Concordia. My 19 year old college student daughter wanted to apply, and we were like "sure...go for it...this is the time in your life you can do things like this..." long story short... she's acce...

I think it sounds like a great idea...maybe if it was like an open house or progressive dinner it would go over best with everyone! I think we have similar tastes in villas. I wish I could be there in June!
