We're staying at the Westin 10/28 - 11/4. I'd be glad to "acquire" a menu and scan via a p/m when we get back.

Re: St. John newbie groceries question

Speaking of wine- what are the prices and selection like compared to "back home"? Suggestions as to best store to purchase in? I see that Zozo's has a wine list but did not see one for Rhumb Lines-what is typical for restaurants? If I run out of cigars, is there a tobacconist there? Gettin...

Re: Beach Bar 10/28 &11/4

Good evening, all

The thought just occurred that we'll be there on Halloween-anyone up for a get together with costumes? If so, you'll need to suggest where is best as I assume we'll be spread out and other than the Beach Bar, we have no idea as to where to meet.

Re: Beach Bar 10/28 &11/4

Thanks, EagleRay-

We'll look for you guys when we get there. We'll be the ones looking travel-weary and I'll probably have a t-shirt related to my screen name.
22 and a wake up as we used to say!

A newbie question-what time do the Beach Bar festivities usually start and other than asking everyone we see if they are forum members, how do we know who's who?

No answer to the above so I'll try one more time.

returning to usvi

Been awhile since I've been on this site and am very glad to have the opportunity to come back. A friend of my wife has offered the use of her Westin timeshare the last week in October and of course we jumped at the opportunity! So some questions so we can start planning: Rental car--is it necessary...

Car ferry is just north of the passenger ferry terminal with its own entrance.

If you pass it by mistake, it's easy to turn around in either direction.

I have a photo of it but can't link it from my PC. If you'll PM me, I'll send it.

Have a great time!

Thanks so much for the feedback thus far. I'm looking forward to trying the car barge for the first time this March. We've always rented vehicles on St. John in the past and taken the "people ferry." I believe from previous posts - you "back" onto the ferry - is that correct? An...
