We just celebrated our 20th in March and had Ted Robinson (Ted's Supper Club) come to our villa and prepare an amazing dinner right there. Don't know what your budget is, but if you want amazing food, a charming personal chef and are staying somewhere with a really good view, he's a perfect choice. ...

Hey, I recognize that view! Wow did you guys make a lot of noise up there at Marbella (just kidding) ... we did hear some pretty mellow tunes though. Glad you had a great trip. Sorry we never hooked up, but I think we might have got lost in the crowd. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-...

Don't know your budget, but Villa South Palm in Virgin Grand Estates actually has 4 interior access bedrooms. I think they charge by the number of guests. We stayed there 3 years ago and it's beautiful with a great pool deck and view.

We had an 8:15 am flight 2 weeks ago tomorrow, so took the ferry back on Sunday and spent the night at the Mafolie Hotel on St Thomas. It was nice to relax and have a nice dinner there. Would love to have spent our last night on St John, but didn't want to risk it and have to rush around in a panic ...

Call ahead. We had Rachel drive us out to Red Hook a few weeks ago; it was $25 each for 2 of us. She also picked us up at Red Hook and drove us up to Mafolie Hotel; the return rate was only $12 each. Then she picked us up the next morning and drove us out to the airport; that was $10 each.

Best wishes to Diana for a speedy recovery and rehab. The gang at Low Key will be able to take care of her ... and if they can't, there's always the Beach Bar!! By the way, I see you've changed your signature line. I was listening to that last Saturday night with a very heavy heart ... we were leavi...

Rachel was driving a Suburban and I think she said she has a van as well. Give her a call and see if she can take 6 passengers. I think the per person rate goes down with more passengers too.

We just got back from St John and took the recommendations of many here ... we booked Rachel Brown and are so glad we did. She met us just before we went in to get our luggage and drove us out to Red Hook the back way (to avoid downtown and the cruise ships). She kept telling us we'll make the 3:00 ...

We were supposed to land at 1:35 pm last Sunday, but didn't get in until about 2:00. 3 other jets landed within about 15 minutes, so the luggage area was ridiculously crowded. We'd booked with Rachael and she kept telling us "we'll make the 3:00 ferry" (from Red Hook), and she was right .....

a couple of questions ...

Anyone going to be on island for St Patty's Day this year? (Sorry iowaguy, I had a short senior's moment there ... you and your group will be there won't you?") Any suggestions for where to go? Not looking for a huge, wild party, but somewhere fun to hang out for a while. Also, any suggestions ...

I was asking this same question here 3 years ago after Carlos from Morgan's Mango emailed and said: "The restaurant is casual, the island is casual, shorts and t-shirts are fine." Then when I met Ruth @ St John Spice one day, the first thing she said was: "Well, are we casual enough f...
