USVI-On-Line

The wife and I will be on St. John for our 5th anniversary (we honeymooned there). I'm looking for suggestions of fun/romantic things to do on our actual anniversary day, Saturday, October 4th. "Sky's the limit", actually my credit limit is somewhat short of the sky...maybe a small hill . Seriously we are into just about anything from daysail, parasail, hiking, snorkeling, laying around eating bon bons. All I've come up with so far is to get a picture of our wedding cake and send it to St. John cakes (http://www.stjohncakes.com) to see if they can duplicate the top layer and maybe a nice dineer out somewhere. Thanks in advance!

Are you in a villa? I might splurge for the in villa chef idea one of these trips. Maybe for our 5 year.
I will be watching this thread for ideas

I'd also say sunset sail but I'm thinking a lot of boats aren't operating at that time of year.

Congratulations on your 5 years!
Funny my anniversary is Oct. 5th! I always want to do like a dinner/evening sail combo but it can get a little pricey. We usually just sail out for the day with Captain Joe on the Scubadu, but he also does private sails in the evening. He's also a great chef! If you do decide to do it, let me know how it is:

Another suggestion (which was recently discussed on this forum) is how about a private dinner in the ruins at Caneel Bay? I

How about an overnight on Jost with a picnic on the beach. Early congratulations on the anniversary. I'm sure whatever you decide, it'll be perfect. Ali~

A couple's massage is awesome! Barb and Cary are the best! We use them every year..

How about dinner at Caneel Bay's Wine Room - Located within the walls of an 18th-century plantation house.

Both great ideas...fired off emails to check availability of both.

Definitely considering this option.

Thanks, we are going to Jost on a day sail...but if the other options don't line up this is a great suggestion.

Already got this one covered...Barb and Cary aren't available but we are getting massages on our first full day on island.

Thanks, checking on availability.

Hi BeacnMan - I have shot photos to record/print memories of many an anniversery. Recent shoots of things guys have done include: a private dinner in the ruins at Caneel, a private sunset sail for 2, serving her a simple champagne lunch in the water and most romantic of all - renewing your wedding vows. Every wife wants a vow renewal whether she admits it or not. I'm planning on a shopping trip to look for new wedding rings after 20 years to last the next 20 years.

Another Caneel option, you can have a private dinner right on the beach! They surround the table with tiki torches and flowers--you are right on the water's edge. It looks really romantic. I like this option better than the ruins, but I am weird that way.

FYI, my reply from Caneel:

"Due to the fact of season and occupancy, right now we are unsure what restaurants will be open in October.
What I will suggest is when you arrive come to the Concierge Desk and we will know by that time what restaurant will be open."

now that you mention it when we were there in early Oct. Equator was open but I don't know if other things were. The Turtle House (do I have that name right?) was closed for sure but I don't know if any of those sevices on the beach etc were available.
