Re: Airport transfer

Hi Marcia,
Also good to hear from you again. We are staying at Gallows Point this time, as the Westin pool will be closed for renovations(not acceptable!)
If there is a particular cab driver I should seek out, please give details.
We are so looking forward to this trip.
My best to Pete.

Airport transfer

Hi, It's been several years since we've been to STJ, but the countdown is on! 6 weeks from tomorrow! I usually stay at the Westin and use their ferry service, but not this year. SO, I guess the plan should be to take a cab or bus to the ferry dock in town. What times do the boats leave Charlotte Am...

Re: Ever had a flat tire on STJ?

One trip, I hit a pothole then drove to Starfish Market. When I came out, I had 2 flats. It was late, so I left the car there and hitched a ride back to the Westin. Next day I called Conrad Sutton and he came to the Westin and picked me up after he fixed the flats. I was charged quite a bit for tir...

WESTIN OUT/GALLOWS POINT IN

We had reserved a week at the Westin from 12/1/13 to 12/8/13. Yesterday I received an email saying that the pool would be closed during our stay for renovation. Say WHAT? Not acceptable. I was a bit disgruntled since it might be hard to find accommodation to our liking on short notice, but luckily ...

Re: Cell Phone Service

Thank you all for the helpful advice. Marie, it will only be Doreen & me this trip. To bring along my 3 year old twin grandsons(whom I see almost daily), would NOT be a vacation :) Love them to death but they are a workout!! Yes we are staying at the Westin. I wanted to stay at Lavender Hill, as...

Cell Phone Service

Hi. As my trip date gets closer, I'm wondering if there are any improvements to cell service. I have an iphone with Verizon as my carrier. Staying at the Westin. What is my fate?

Cell Phone Service St John

Hi,
I know this has been discussed before but I am looking for updated information if any.
I have Verizon and I know it doesnt work well on STJ or else you incur huge roaming fees.
Is the best bet to buy a Trac fone at Walmart? We are staying at the Westin.
Thanks!

Planning Dcember Trip

Hi, I havent posted or been to STJ since about 2007, but I'm anxiously planning a trip for early next December. What month do December airfare tickets go on sale? I have a lot of Continental (United)rewards points I'd like to use if possible. Any advice I could get on this process would be greatly a...

Hate to be a party pooper

We went once in August about 12 years ago and there was a threat of a hurricane. The storm missed us but our flight got cancelled and it kinda ruined the last few days of our trip. I'm pretty sure you should have good weather, though.

A lot of good suggestions so far. I might add: 1. Snorkle at Waterlemon Cay(note that there is a fairly good hike to get out to the point where you would start your snorkling). We have seen the most amazing things there, and so have so many others. 2. Chicken and ribs at Uncle Joe's BBQ(across from...
