Re: Full face snorkel masks? ISO feedback and recommendation

Thanks for the advise. I have been wanting to do 8TM for the last decade and finally the stars have aligned. So no sunscreen and hydrate properly days before, but this next advise is foreign to me. My overall advice is to be less concerned about your time and just relax and enjoy the experience. My ...

Re: Full face snorkel masks? ISO feedback and recommendation

I have the H20Ninja brand of full face masks. I really like mine. Easy to use and great field of view. It also fits better in my carry on. I do miss the ability to dive though. So do you have any advise about 8TM? I am registered also. This will be my first. I have been doing hill training here in S...

Re: Anyone out there? Jeep Rental

On our first couple of trip we rented on St. Thomas and had no issues. We, like others, wanted to get the car and get our vacation stated. We wanted the freedom to stop where we want. As there became issues with barges over the years we did not want to spend time worrying about the barges so we star...

Re: Part 2 - Trip Report October 27 - Nov 6

Thanks for the detailed trip report. My mouth is watering just thinking about our favorite St. John restaurants. It is always good to hear how the island is rebounding from the storms. It feels that by the time we arrive in February we may not notice to much difference from our last trip in March 20...

Great Trip Report Susan. I loved the pictures and the descriptions of your days.

What was the process like coming back to St. John from Jost?

Re: Airline Prices are $$$$$$$$

We are at the other end of the Indiana and fly out of EVV. I am always jealous of the forumites who fly direct and pay half as much as we do. Delta out of Evansville was not as bad with recent tickets at $760-$860 for flights in late February. In the past if we were going as a family it was cheaper ...

Re: Preschooler in Paradise

Thanks for sharing dreamshark. Being at the beach with a grandchild is so much fun. We spent last week with our almost 3 year old grandson at Hilton Head and the time was priceless. Years from now they will only remember what they see in pictures but I think those times help mold them into the peopl...
