15 weeks today, aka 105 days, until our family trip to St. John. I am so excited I just had to shout it out to every one!

Of the 8 of us, 3 will be newbies, and that adds so much fun. Please, June 11, get here soon!

Don't mean to brag....just soooooo excited!!!!

June 11th will get here before August 4th! Lucky you! :wink: It would be nice if we could push the fast forward button. . . and when we are about to get on the ferry and head home we can hit rewind! :D

I think this is my 1,000th post! WOW!

CathyS,
It will be here and you will be back home again before you know it. Enjoy the weeks of anticipation and every single second while you are there. Speaking from experience and wishing we had a STJ trip in our near future.
Regards,
AH

We will be there on June 13 for 12 glorious days...all 5 of us are all newbies, but the trip has been in my "dreams" for quite a while. I'm so thankful for all the info on this forum. I was lucky finding an introductory rate on a fantastic villa in St. Thomas near Magens Bay, but we will be visiting St. John more than once I'm sure! Can't wait - celebrating 30th wedding anniversary, our daughter's MBA and our son's high school graduation...(and the first 4 days will be just us two!!)

Can't wait - I'm still checking on an different day sails, fishing, etc. and am getting opinions from all the family - I am a planner, but I want to the trip to be as laid back as possible!

And when you say 15 weeks, it doesn't sound as long as 3 1/2 months!

Is it ok to say that I do not want June to come that quick? That would mean my trip is over with.

YES!!!

I feel exactly the same way. I was just dreaming about our trip so I had to log into the forum. We are going on June 11 too! I can't wait!! It's like being a kid and waiting for Christmas....seems like FOREVER.

Only 103 days now!

I totally get that notion.
Ok, I'm going to sound "Outta' line", but to me it's like sex.
Getting to & waiting to be on STJ is the "foreplay", and the "climax" is being there.
The "build-up" is extraordinarily tantalizing, and mouthwatering in every way...
The blast of the heat from the tarmac when we get off of the plane on STT is ULTIMATELY delicious.- then, we get to relax our shoulders on STJ, for however long we're there.
Waiting for our vaca is such a "suspense-release" situation, and when it's over, I just can't wait to do it again. :wink:
Sorry, had a few drinkys, just got done work...
Smiles-
MJ

Being a numbers girl, I love the way you think "stjohnnewbie".....Although I must admit, the planning has been so much fun. And "mahojim", love, love, love your descriptions....can not wait for the blast of heat to hit me on the tarmac!....I am also a newbie and even without going on the trip yet, I am in love with the Island. Looking so forward to Island time....Happy Planning!
