We're going, we're going, we're going!!!!!!!!!

After posting long ago that my incomprehensible husband didn't LOVE St. John enough to eat Ramen for a year (if need be) to afford a return trip, he up and booked us for my birthday!!!! Woo hoooooooooooooooooo!

So can anybody share what's going to be the biggest shocker in terms of change from 3 years ago? I need to prepare in case another favorite place (eg Ditleff) is slated for development......

Your hubby rocks. He just scored many, many points.

Not much going on at Ditleff yet, not that we could see. Except A LOT more people using the beach!!

How exciting, hubby is a GOOD MAN!! My only thought is that the island is more crowded than it was 3 years ago. Southshore Rd between 3:00 and 4:00pm was packed with men & equipment from Pond Bay. I don't know how many construction workers are at Pond Bay, but the road was backed up every afternoon we tried to use it.

If you haven't been on the rock in 3 years, I think the biggest shock aleast for me STILL is both Grande Bay & Sirenusa taking up most of the hillside and the lack of greenery which was once dotted with villas . But that's so called progress. Any how, congratulations on you return trip.
