Enjoyed you report. Pelican beach looks nice. Would it work for 2 couples. I realize it only has one bathroom. The outside living area looks inviting. You ate at two places we need to try. Morgan Mango's and Margarita Phil's how was the food there? Congrats on your anniversary what a great place to ...

Re: Which senses make you say AHHH

Taste---of first painkiller while waiting on ferry

Hear----waking up to chickens, donkeys, goats announcing the mornings arrival

Smell----of salt air, coffee aroma with beginning of day on St John

Sight-----of first sunrise over Coral Bay

Feel----the warm air hit you when you walk off plane

Thanks Kevin.

Glad you were able to snorkel Johnson Reef. Sorry the reef was not in better shape.

Re: Kayak and Mangrove snorkel

Gretchen you explained my fear exactly. I have never been claustrophobic but the first time that is what happened. It was to shallow, murky and hard for me to breath. Friends through the park only do the tour a couple of times a year. There were several sandy areas that were easy to beach the kayak....
