Since Anthony needs new topics I have one for you. After I return from a trip to St John I find it almost unbearable to read this wonderful forum because I miss vacation/St John so much. I wait a few months and then start creeping back on when it isn't so painful or when I start planning another trip! Does this happen to anyone else?

I agree with you 100%. You are not alone! As soon as we start "thinking seriously" of heading to our favorite place, I immediately start lurking, and occasionally posting. Once or twice everyday. But, after we get back home.. if we don't have another trip in the works, I simply cannot bear it. So, I may go for a whole year without my "fix". Crazy? Probably. But I think it just makes me too depressed reading about it (STJ), when I know I can't be there. Fortunately, only 2 months to go! whooohoooo! Especially nice when they're predicting a snowstorm here tomorrow! Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm a yes/no. I also lurk here and the other forum year round and occasionally post and also check out the spice cam several times a day.
As a serious addict I know it will always be less than a year before I'm back but when the ticker is more than 10 months it's pretty depressing.

This is known as the Dreaded Island Fever or DIF. There is presently no known cure other than to proceed with trip planning for your next visit.psufan wrote:After I return from a trip to St John I find it almost unbearable to read this wonderful forum because I miss vacation/St John so much.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Yes PSUfan I have the same issue. I usually start obsessively reading this forum when winter sets in for good and if there is a trip in the pipeline.

I am officially in the mode of checking the forum multiple times a day because I have a new trip to look forward too. Villa booked, vehicle reserved, flights booked, now all I need is for the days to pass by quickly!
Nice to know that I am not the only one who suffers from St John withdrawal! We always say re-entry is hell. That includes re-entry into forum lurking!

I have a suggestion; Bring back... Jorge, SoxFan, SJNJ.
It sure would help with the stagnation around here... and it is the holiday season.

Oh, yes!! The pain of reentry is almost unbearable. It takes me several weeks before I can even read the forum RSS feed and longer before I can visit the site and even longer before I can post. In fact, this is my first post since my last reentry last June.psufan wrote:...After I return from a trip to St John I find it almost unbearable to read this wonderful forum because I miss vacation/St John so much...
I guess it is time to start planning for next Spring!
Safe & Happy Thanksgiving to all
