Carry -on only, but it's winter?

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I usually wear jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt with sneakers. I also carry a pair of shorts in my backpack to make the switch ASAP but might try wearing the shorts this year.

SteveS - the remora is our son. He goes everywhere with us - at least for now

We take a taxi to the airport, wear zip-off pants and socks with Tevas. The kids usually wear jeans, riding boots and a hoody.

Cheers, RickG

I'm also a fan of the zip-off pants.
They rule.

We always get rides to the airport in the morning. Dropped off at the front door , throw the coat in the backseat of the car and away we go. Been doing this for years..so easy. Change clothes at Miami.

Boots that you wear riding. Think Motorcycle or Horse.

I googled it and mostly got dominatrix sites.

RickG's daughter go horseback riding while on-island and I sure wearing them save room in the luggage.

I didn't think about there being horseback riding available on St. John. I don't think I have ever seen anything larger than a donkey on the island. Anyone know where the horses are?

Yep, the bulkiest things we bring are riding boots. Dana at Carolina Corral is the place to go - 1-340-693-5778. Over near Skinny Legs in Coral Bay.

Cheers, RickG

Overman - how long will you be on island, and will you be bringing your remora with you? We're there 3/15-3/27. We may just miss you.

Even though is was "warm" in NE today, I still can't wait to get out of here
