If you are staying in Coral Bay you can print your boarding passes at Keep Me Posted in Cocolobo Plaza. Take a lot of pictures! We want to see them!

Congratulations on your upcoming trip - you are going to love it. We just returned from our first trip to St. John and will be posting our trip report starting this week-end (it will be long). Hope some of it will help you in your planning and selections. Suggestion, pack less clothes and bring more suntan lotion.

You can find vegetarian friendly options just about anywhere, but I am betting Sweet Plantains would have some of the more flavorful, interesting options. Out in Coral Bay just past Cocoloba Plaza. A review from another blog I read: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09106/963038-34.stm.

Enjoy, can't wait to hear about your trip.

Have a great trip! Where are you staying? That might some of the recommendations on best places to eat and drink.

Sogos was recommended to us by a vegetarian. They have authentic West Indian cuisine. Great food-they serve fish and meat too. We go every year and the family that runs it is very nice.

It is a little hole in the wall-not a fancy joint at all. Prices probably $10-20 for dinner, I am guessing. Cant remember.

Vie's has great garlic chicken, rice and beans and conch fritters. And a great beach. She (and now her daughter) are very nice to talk with. Sloop Jones is down there, too, to make a day of it.

Try also to get to Sweet Plantains.

You don't need a boarding pass at this airport to return. They've told us it's too small to matter. Just bring confirmation numbers.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but Maho Bay Campground always has a veg meal on the dinner menu and the location cannot be beat. Sunset from the Gazebo is beautiful.
