Re: beer prices now

Maybe local Caribbean beers will be a bit less?

Re: Drug selling in Cruz Bay

Anyone questioned how many of the police are in on the deals? I know when I lived on St Thomas, there were quite a few. They got their payoffs at Coki Beach, in full view of everybody. Remember the shooting death of the young girl, there, on a cruise ship tour? That was during a drug deal, cops stan...

Re: St. John like destination

Curacao is lovely, it is a desert like island, so be prepared. I love Dominica and Belize. I am the adventurous one so I go to place that have wonderful diving, (I am an instructor), or places with strong eco tourism opportunities. Dominica has a rain forest interior and lovely black sand beaches. P...

Re: sunscreen news

This will be impossible to enforce. It means every piece of luggage entering Hawaii will have to be searched. Next they will need to police all the dive boats and outdoor tour operators if they allow anyone to have banned sunscreens. As for a federal ban? WE have the wrong party in control of the go...

Re: Seems like a long time ago

Give Dominica a try, it is small, with wonderful people, great beaches, a rain forest and a true sense of Caribbean vibe. The USVIs are nice but no longer have the Caribbean feel it had when I lived there in years past.

Re: Another Island ?

Dominca is my go to, it is beautiful and the people are wonderful. Great beaches, rain forest interior and a real sense of being in the Caribbean. No cruisers, their true culture shines through.

Re: Trip report Jan 14-28

Give Dominica a try as well as Culebra or Vieques. Small, quiet, no cruise shippers and lovely people. St John was paradise when I lived there, now it is over run with ugly developments on Cruz Bay, possible really ugly marina project on Coral Bay, and over run with tourists. Always have a special p...

Re: St. John as a solo female

You will be fine! I have traveled to SE Asia,throughout the Caribbean and into French Polynesia by myself. All were wonderful journeys and I was so glad I did so. Just be cautious as you would at home. When solo hiking go through the Park Service office first and just let them know your plans. They ...

Re: Drones and glass bottles

For quiet and beauty, no cruise ships and the like, try Dominica, Bequia, St Croix or the BVIs. St John has become an extension for St Thomas. Having lived on both I can say the other places I listed here are much nicer. If the marina/resort project, in Coral Bay, goes forward St John will explode w...
