kklay, our days overlap by a few. Not sure if we will do the Beach Bar thing though. We will be at Grande Bay. PM me if you want to meet. I can give you my cell # and if it happens it does and if not, maybe next time

Thanks. It just might be The Fish Trap then. Kevino, we just want to get to St John earlier than later although that was a good idea. And, no, I don't hate STT, LOL! We are staying there our last night :) . Fish Trap will do. I looked at their website. We have eaten there once. It is a little surpri...

Since US Air messed with my flights, I am now arriving on Thanksgiving. We will be on the 5pm or 6pm ferry. I haven't arrived on Thanksgiving in a couple of years but remember the pickins being slimmer than I thought they would. High Tide was open, but I can't remember if they only had a turkey dinn...

I re-read this thread. Got lots of great ideas!

Well, supposedly, I can get two tickets RT to anywhere in the US and 2 nights at a Marriott. We have to sit through a 90 minute sales pitch, so we will see how that goes, LOL! Not getting too hyped yet. There is "absolutely no obligation". I want to go to Maine and there is a Marriott in P...

But, still interesting to know if the ferry...

Is that departure tax $15pp? In the past, when we have taken the ferry, that was included in the fare.

We have always done RT to Jost. Heard the BVI customs fee went up, so mybe a rate increase?

If you are walking toward the ferry dock, it is just past the Mexican place on the left.

I really hate to say this, but, Skinny Legs wasn't that great the last couple of trips. Love the ambience though...

I agree with Pia. Cafe Livin had the BEST breakfast sandwich and the price was right too.

Stayed at Tracy's unit at Grande Bay (Seaside) last year and booked again for November. Highly recommend! I love being so close to town and Tracy is a wonderful person!

Welcome!!

People who get it know that STJ is basically the omelet of vacations. When it's all said and done, it's awesome and the trip of a lifetime, but you're going to get messy doing it and you might as well embrace the mess (whether the mess is heat, rain, mosquitos, sand, tardy restaurant service, a che...
