MJ, isn't Emerald Beach still an option for your first night? As you are probably aware, there really aren't many options anywhere which are walking distance to bars & restaurants, although Emerald Beach is a quick taxi ride to Frenchtown. If you want to be closer to Red Hook, I'm not sure who w...

I will do a full trip report later, but I wanted to let you know that we had connected with Rhea at Pets with Wings (Humane Society of St. Thomas) and escorted a precious puppy to Newark NJ on our return flight home yesterday evening. We had never done this before, and in talking with Dawn on our Ne...

Sunday’s seem to have less commercial traffic (trucks, garbage, construction etc) but not sure about how busy 2 days before Christmas. Also you might want to take a look at FB “St John car barge schedule “ for real time updates.
Have a great time!

We rented from Amy at Amalie on Sunday Dec 2nd and had zero issues. Landed at 2:20 pm,got our luggage (yes we checked luggage since we are here 2 weeks and are overpackers) and got to Red Hook by 3:15 and caught the 4:00 car barge without issue. We are returning on Sunday the 16th and will allow ext...

Finally!!!! Thanks!!!!

Thanks hoosierdaddy! It's actually still 2 days. The ticker updates automatically daily, regardless of when it was originally posted. We leave early Sunday morning, 12/2.

"Yay for tickers!!"

I've been keeping an eye on FB - it seems to be getting somewhat better with the Grand Vic running for the past few days..... Fingers crossed it stays that way in 6 days!!!

Thanks Dave - much appreciated. Wow, 2-3 months, that's certainly something to aspire to! We've only ever done 8 nights, which is never nearly enough. I can't wait to try 2 weeks (counting the days) and I'm sure we still won't be ready to go back home!

Pickle, thanks for that background. God speed to you on your return to STJ!!!

Sue, thanks again for all your help! Ed

Thank you all for your kinds words and thoughts. It means a lot, and I know this trip will really help. We were going annually to STJ/Gallows for 7-8 nights from 2010-2015, but since then just couldn't leave her as she got older and had health problems. Then I retired (early) in Jan 2017 and really ...

It finally worked this morning. I think my problem was I forgot to put in the caption "Finally back on St John" Thanks all for you help. Counting the days!

Rebubula, I have pics of 3C that Daldrene emailed me in June 2014. My guess is they are old, as when I look at the MBR bed it looks as you feared. If you pm me your email address I will forward the email from Gallows Point with the 3C pics to you.
