We are going the third week of March. Missed ya by one!
I have heard that St. John is great, and I look forward to seeing it also. My oldest son's best friend from high school got married there, and he has an uncle who is an artist/designer that lives there.
Our timeshare was just a short term one and did not include St. John as one of the choices.

Noseeums are a dusk time of insect if you are on a beach for the sunset even sitting on your deck they can be bad if we are on the beach we just go in the water to watch it. other wise bug spray will help haven't heard back if the thermacells worked or not for them.

Got the bug spray packed. Thanks for the advice about the water.
I just called Verizon to see if our phones will work down there, and what if any additional charges may occur. STT has a CDMA network, so that was good, but $1.99 a minute is pretty steep. He suggested a prepaid phone card might have better rates. Anyone have any experience in that? Would I get it here before I leave or down there? If it doesn't matter, getting it up here would probably be a lot easier. He also mentioned adding a free International calling capability on our phones on the Verizon website which I will do before we leave. Really only planning on checking in at home by phone a couple of times most likely.
