I think it's safe to say that if you've been to St. John you've been to Trunk Bay and had a drink at The Beach Bar. What places & activities, other than the usual well-known, have you not done yet.

ok, i have never eaten at rhumblines and so i want to try it--i have never hiked the johnny horn and have never snorkeled haulover north (too rough each time i attempted)--would like to visit honeymoon by land--i tend to get coral bay gravity when i get there--so i guess i need to move a bit more!

I have not snorkeled at Trunk but I'm not sure that I really need to.

Henley Cay via dinghy is on my short list for our next trip as well as the Reef Bay hike.

I have never rented a dinghy.

I have never snorkeled Pelican Rock, Hart Bay (though I've tried--too rough), Grootpan Bay, or Chocolate Hole. I’ve never swum over to Windswept Beach.

I've never hiked anywhere with the exception of the Reef Bay (NPS guided, so downhill only), Leinster Bay, Lind Point, Peace Hill/Denis Bay, Yawzi Point, Drunk Bay, and Ram Head trails. In other words, I have only done the easy hikes.

I've never been to Joe's Rum Hut, in fact I really don't know where it is! I’ve just seen pictures of the bar on this forum. I've also never eaten at Sogos, Shelas Pot, Café Mojo, Cactus on the Blue, or the Turtle Bay Estate House.

I’ve never visited VIERS.

Never done:

Taken a full year "off" from going to the USVI's.

This will be our first, in something like 12 years. We'll let you know how that goes.

Reason for taking a little break? The bucket list. We really want to see new places. As much as we love STJ and the VI's, we want explore more. We started last fall and haven't stopped.

It's great fun, the bucket list.

Last summer I crossed off my #1 bucket list to-do by finally getting scuba certified with Low Key. I had been talking about it and subsequently chickening out for 15 years. Scariest, most awesome thing ever and well worth it! In March we are determined to 1) explore East End and Haulover, and 2) finally get out with Capt. John and Palm Tree Charters. Can't wait!

13 Trips and still want to:

1. Stop at the Tourist Trap, can't talk the women into it.
2. Dive "The Rhone" but because of medical reasons, I have to put that off for another year

3.Stay at Caneel for a whole week.
4.Take the ferry over to Jost and stay for a night or rent "Pink House" on White Bay for a week.
5.Be thrown out of the Beach Bar, Woody's, High Tide or Island Blues etc because they were closing and I'm the last man standing/falling, whatever.
6.Rent Cinnamon Ridge or Peter Bay Gatehouse
Last but not least, just move there!
