Public Transportation in STT

VITRAN is the government-run public transportation system, and there is a VITRAN Red Hook bus that goes from town to Red Hook and back. At best it runs no more frequently than every hour, but I'm pretty sure it's more like every two hours. It will not take you to the airport. You'd have to transfer ...

It is walkable, but there is NO SHADE the entire distance, so it can be extremely hot. I've seen a few people walking with one roller bag (I've never done it with luggage), and they don't look too happy by the time they reach the Best Western. I would only attempt it if my flight comes in very early...

Pre-Viewed

They could encourage people to return them so they can sell them as pre-viewed. I buy pre-viewed all the time from Blockbuster, Modern Music, ebay, etc.

I'll Add My DVD to Speed Things Up

Rather than have 2 lists, I'll send it to the first poster (sorry, didn't notice name!), so he/she can send it to the second person on the list. I've been wondering what to do with this DVD.

Maybe one of us should donate it to Netflix :wink:

UV Clothing

On yesterday's (Saturday, June 21) CBS Early Show, they had a special travel segment that featured new products. One of the products was clothing with UV protection built-in so you don't have to keep applying sunscreen. Now of course I don't remember the name of the company, but there is a link on t...

Yes, I can see the ads, but I've got Sprint mobile broadband which is a US ISP, so I get more online stuff than people in VI with local ISP.

I was surprised to see the ad or the new guava flavor!! Luscious!

Koozies w/Photo

This is what I was thinking of when you said you wanted personalized: http://www.transferit.net/pages/SJ/blanks/02.html Which is why I suggested group photo. The other source mentioned does screenprinting, which is more expensive for small lots. Any of the t-shirt guys can do these here if you bring...

LOL! I like your version!

Can you send me a link to the coozie you're considering? I want to see if it's something you can have done here.

I agree with the architect poster - many of them find the historical buildings in St Thomas inspiring. I'd suggest sending him on the Blackbeard's Castle walking tour. BEAUTIFUL restored colonial residences. Down the street is the Seven Arches Museum, another restored residence. If you're there on a...

Virgin Islanders have a unique way of pluralizing things by tacking the word "dem" on the end. For a group of people, many will say "de people dem" (dem was probably supposed to be the word them at some point. So, how about a group pic with the words "De People Dem 2008?"

Instead of Zip Line

They might want to try parasailing or jet skis. Someone now offers a combination guided jet ski/snorkel tour taking you to more remote spots.

Or mountain biking.
