Thank you. Looked at an Outdoor Products one but it did not have padded straps. I think we will go with either LL Bean or Eddie Bauer.
Thanks again and I agree about the coupons!

We are looking for backpacks for short day hikes. Room enough for a small lunch bag, water,sun lotion, keys, maybe a small towel, etc... Waterproof would also be nice.
Any recommendations?

First JJ's then Joe's Diner now Deli Grotto ! We stop there every morning when on island. Will miss the Jumble and all the other desserts. We will especially miss the really nice lady that was usually at the register!
What next??

Bummer is right. We just received $180 in our "bank" from our Nov reservation. A $25 or $50 limit would be better. I was told too many people were calling in for $5 and $10 changes.

Pink Cadillac!

One by ont the things that made St John unique and wonderful are falling.

Please let us know what you decide. My husband and I have been toSTX twice and have decided to rent there for six weeks this coming winter. ( We have been going to STJ for over forty years.)

Great photo. Started visiting STJ the following year. Thought of saying something about "locking the door", but that wouldnt be nice.

Finally I got it right. Being old is not for the faint of heart !

We returned early this am (2) from a week on St Croix with our daughter,, her husband and their 2 boys. This was our second visit to STX and it was nice to know our way around a bit. We stayed at Sugar Beach on Condo Row. Everything was great. The weather could NOT have been better.
