They are talking about St. John right now on Today..."Spring Break on a Budget".

And they reported you didn't need a passport to travel to the USVI's.

I watched this while sitting in the dentist chair this morning (having phase 3 of root canal). I tried to mutter to the dentist and assistant that this is the place I love, but they didnt get it. Then I thought, oh good...hopefully no one else watching will get it either!

Blast!!

Blast!! Tell them to shut the hell up.

It gives me relief to think that it actually takes effort and experience to do St. John cheaply. It actually get's cheaper for my wife and I every time we come because we know how to stay, ferry over, which grocery store to buy from, etc. I think St. John can be expensive for a novice?

I can't imagine spring breakers at Maho. Unless spring break has changed from when I was in college, they'd drink too much beer and fall down that great big staircase!

This has probably been posted before, but don't you find it ironic that we all come to this forum to talk about the places we love (thereby publicizing them!) all the while hoping they remain less developed, less crowded, etc. ????? :?

I wouldn't guess that many springbreakers watch the Today show, but the "secret" hasn't been a secret for years. I always figure that anything that I know about can't be much of a secret.

We first went to STJ in the mid-80s and it's changed significantly since then. I find very few of the changes to be improvements. But even then we met people who told us that we should have seen it 10 or 20 years earlier---before all the change started. Some folks who like STJ now wouldn't have liked it back then. And some folks who loved it back then have a hard time with it today.
