Is there such a thing as a private taxi service on STJ? My wife and I stay at Battery Hill and rarely rent a car. We walk everywhere and make regular use of the public taxis. But when another couple visits, they're not walkers, so -- rather than renting a car -- we'd be interested in having a driver...

Nice!

We travel on American, and the limit is 62 inches, when the item is measured width + length + depth.

I bring a box that adds up to exactly that dimension (24+20+18) and have never had a problem with checking it.

PA Girl, There isn't much in terms of evening dining or attractions within walking distance of the museums and monuments; they're mostly a daytime activity.

This new restriction won't bother us.

Given the cost of renting a car on either island, we stay close to Cruz Bay and walk everywhere or take taxis. We typically rent a car on STJ for a day or two.

Frank Bay is beautiful, but the beach is quite rocky. Great spot to snorkel (careful: urchins), watch the sunset, visit Coconut Coast Studio.

Seems to me that the G Spot/Larry's Landing was permanently closed when I walked past in February . . . unless, of course, they've moved.

Looks pretty staged. Kinda boring.

Here's a much better one, for the Carib House on Antigua:

Of course, the music's amazing, but there's just more fun, a stronger sense of the local scene, more of everything.
