Hi all,
I haven't been around much with all running around with Xmas approaching. But now that it's over and having a chance to read trip some trip reports, (Thanks Captkirk and VickiH) I can get back to some last minute planning. I see the construction has began on the roundabout finally what else will be new to a seasoned St. Johner.
Any new restaurants, bars, etc? or anything new that surprised you on your last trip

I'm not far behind you, traveler22. Christmas was great and now I'm ready to take the tree down and pack all the Christmas stuff up and watch the snow fall while I do the countdown until my February trip. It might just be my hubby and myself on trip which was be soooo nice.

Luvin, we should make the BB gathering on the 8th.

Traveler22, we leave the day after you arrive

Can't wait to escape this frigid Northeast cold!

Nancy -- Awesome! Looking forward to meeting you. I definitely know what you mean about leaving this frigid cold weather -- however, it's supposed to be 64 degrees here in Northeast OH tomorrow! That will definitely help to melt all this ice that has accumulated.

Traveler - I am looking forward to meeting Deb and Jay, they do sound like great people. Sorry we'll miss you by a couple of days, but with your group, sounds like you'll have a great time! Maybe we'll run into you on one of the beaches.

Hi, everyone.

I have been lurking on this forum for a while. I visited STJ for one day while trying to escape a big cruise ship that had hit STT about 5 years ago with a (now ex-)boyfriend. I have dreamt about going back for almost 5 years now. I am set to fly into STT 1/10 and ferry over to STJ for a few days (1/10-1/12) straightaway. Then, off for a charter sail for a week that leaves from Tortola.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and pictures. It has helped me remember what caught my attention all those years ago. The boy didn't stick with me, but the memory of the beauty and tranquility of STJ did!

Luvin,

The 60 degree break this weekend was very nice!

Traveler22, we have a house in Sea Isle City and relatives in Egg Harbor Township so we're not far from you. Your trip is getting closer and closer
