USVI-On-Line

Great report ... keep it coming. I might just make it to August after all

Thanks for sharing your trip. The pictures are great as usual. OH looks like a wonderful villa.

I recognise the high waves you had from our trip to VG (we were there at the same time).

I don't know what to say about the food Too me it looks like top restaurant food. Should you get tired on your present job, at least you would have a clue what to do

Nice. I can cook a little, but really stink at presentation (not that I've tried that much) so I envy those that can do it all. I assume that at your skill level your "kitchen time" including prep, cook, clean up is not too bad - i.e. you're pretty quick and I know you enjoy it. When on island for a only week, we avoid kitchen time like the plague, although it would be nice to make some of our "specialties" and enjoy it in a special place.

Yum!!!
The pool looks nice too! I'm anxious to read more.

Ah, for the luxury of 18 whole days on St. John! Great report and pictures, it's no wonder we always value your opinions and experiences...

I second the notion you should be on top chef
I liked how you call yourselves
DINKS. have not heard that expression in a while.
It is odd when it is cold enough on island to need a sweater.
Glad you had another wonderful time at La Tap.
I miss Alex and her team and her mussels and mojitos with Josephines greens.
Just have to wait til Nov

Enjoyed your first installment! Looking forward to the rest. I have to remember when I read your trip reports though, to wait until after I eat. I am starving right now!

Who else thinks Becky needs to make us a cookbook?

Vicki-- TOTALLY agree. She should title it:
"The STJ Junkie's Cookbook"

GREAT trip report!!!

I don't spend much time in the kitchen. For example, with the indian food meal, I made the sauce at home and brought it down frozen. I also put the chicken into the marinade and froze that also. So, when it was time for dinner, all I had to do was throw the thawed chicken on the grill, reheat the sauce and stir in some peas, and warm up the naan on the grill. I actually had a bunch of indian type meals planned but a lot of those ingredients were in the cooler that did not make it.

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone! I should have installment two up this morning, I think.

Becky, does that villa have a/c?

WOW! I want to go on vacation with you!!!!!!

Oh, a trip report from you is just what I need to help with reentry! Thanks! It lessens the pain a little! I'm determined to do a report with pics this time so I can relive it all. Can't wait to read more!

No AC, but we did not miss it. There are incredible breezes up there, it was even breezier than Catherineberg. I needed a long sleeved shirt out on the open porch in the evenings.
