We took the ferry from Red Hook to West End and a taxi to Roadtown. I enjoyed lunch and drinks at Pusser's. They have a nice store, too. Probably worth the trip just to say you've been there.

June 2011 TR

Although I didn't enjoy it as much as St John or St Croix, I enjoyed it. It was hot which was fine for swimming, snorkling, boating, but not so good for eating. Most of the places we ate were open air. I guess we could've looked for AC, but I had a list of places I wanted to try. In Red Hook: DuffY'...

Feb 2011 TR STX

Stayed at The Palms at Pelican Cove and loved it. I felt so comfortable here and around island, too. Every employee goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The cook came over and shook our hand, made sure we liked the food. The chambermaids joked with us. The owner and manager introduced t...

We're near the pine barrens, too. My husband drives a Grand Cherokee, I drive a Honda Civic. One day, he has to borrow my car. You guessed it, that's the day a deer decides to run out in front of him. I feel so bad for you. I think I'd throw up. Hope you feel better soon. Really hope you can make it...

When I was new to this forum, I thought it was only about St John. I was surprised when someone wrote about St Thomas; I thought they hit the wrong button. I recently returned form St Croix and didn't write a trip report because I felt the only thing most people on this forum would want to hear is t...

Thanks everyone for the great answers. As Liamsaunt (one of my favorite posters,BTW) pointed out, I should've went first. I've given between $100 & $400 in the past 4 or 5 years. I look up the reception place online to try and figure how much the dinner costs. I take this and how I feel about th...

wedding cash

How much do you put in an envelope whe attending a wedding? Are you affected by the how much they spent on the reception or only your relationship? It might be interesting to see if there is much of a difference in the various parts of the country.
