USVI-On-Line

This was our longest stay on St. John. It was originally for two weeks, but when we realized we could add 4 days to the end of our trip, we went for it. Since we only get to St. John once a year, we try to make the best of it. Now it's over and I have to wait another year for our return. Well, I

Hi Pickle thanks for sharing your report. We are staying in coral bay soon. Was the creeper in the villa? That freaks me out. Thanks!

Great report and pics- thanks!

Thanks for the report and your pictures are wonderful.

Love your pics & report....that last shot is especially beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

We've been coming to STJ for nearly 20 years and have stayed all over the island and love the Bordeaux Mtn./Mamey Peak location the best.

I loved your reports and pics, Pickle. I especially enjoyed your snorkeling pictures. Now it's on to planning next years trip.

Yogagirl,
The spider was outside. St. John is a tropical island and it's only natural that you find creepers there. Don't worry, we didn't find any inside Bordeaux Breeze - well, except one, a bat (hmm... I get the feeling that I'm freaking you out again.) It startled us because it came out of nowhere flopping on the floor. It was at night and the main room was dimly lit, so we didn't know what it was at first... this fairly large black thing was flopping on the floor like a giant frog. After finding out it was a bat (what a relief it wasn't some unknown-to-us creature), we successfully let her out the sliding door. She never flew, so it was pretty easy. That was it. We didn't even see a single ant or roach. I thought the villa was very well taken care of.

Forgot to post this photo in the Bordeaux Breeze review. It was taken in the early morning. Sorry about mentioning the bat story - just wanted to be honest. If you are into yoga (guessing from your forum name), I can assure you that you'll be very happy there.

thanks!

Absolutely beautiful pictures - thanks so much for sharing (even the creeper ones).
