USVI-On-Line

I hesitate to ask this for fear of unpolitcally correct comments regarding my mental state or obsessive compulsive behavior. . .but. . .how common is a steam iron amongst the amenities in most villas?

Yes, I iron. . .daily. Yes, the t-shirt that I'll be wearing over my swimsuit to the beach. I know it's a casual island, but freshly pressed clothes make me happy, so don't judge me!!

We're staying at Miles Away, so I could contact Destination St John and ask them, but I'd rather be ridiculed on-line!

hey shari

buy one of those portable steam irons that you see ads for on tv. it would work just the same..no worries mon!

There was an iron at our last villa, I even used it once or twice...don't feel bad about it.

There must be others like you, because I often see "iron and ironing board" listed as amenities on villa websites. (I laugh because for me, that's more like a punishment than an amenity, but I applaud your discipline!)

3 times my mom has given me an ironing board as a "gift", and 3 times I've "accidentally" left it behind when I move. Maybe it's time to act like a grownup and get myself one...

Mom, is that you? My mom irons her pillow cases .. something about them feeling so much better. Anyway, the last 2 DSJ houses we've rented had an iron. I can't recall the ones prior to that.

Shari,

Hang that tee up in the bathroom with a hot shower going for 3 minutes! No iron, no worries!

Iron? What's an iron?

I would just email DSJ and ask--they will get right back to you.

I was thinking the same thing! My Mom irons blue jeans and she use to iron my Dad's boxers! I definitely didn't get that gene!
Shari, I agree with liamsaunt. I'd just email DSJ.

Funny story, thought about you when I read it. I hardly touch an iron, I use the wrinkle release in a spray bottle.

Do you iron items before your pack in suitcase and then again before you wear item

If answer is yes my wife has found her long losted twin

What about 15 year old girls who take 40 min showers

Hanging a t-shirt in the shower with the water running for 3 mins would waste soooo much water - cisterns would be empty in no time and depending on the time of year and how busy the delivery trucks get, you can wait 2-3 days for a delivery - not good for the next guests that run out as well as the - $$$$$ it costs

Remember everyone please try to conserve when on island (said in the nicest way possible )

Pia...re-read...i think she meant while she was taking a shower

You remind me of one of my best friends Tracy. She will iron an old t-shirt before doing housework on a Saturday morning! And she's been like that since I met her in 7th grade.

Iron? Geritol!
