Hey, California Girl - the sun is coming out now and it looks like another fabulous Southern California day... I think you're spoiled from St. John!!

Hi California Girl... welcome home. Can't wait to read your trip report!! It's gray in Carlsbad too right now. But it has been really nice this past week. Hubby is flying (our private airplane) down from San Jose as we speak... I hope it clears up by the time he gets down this way!! It's probably ju...

Hi cwaver - You know, I have been trying to decide whether or not to try cactus juice. I read quite a number of very good reviews about it on TTOL... then I read a review or two saying it didn't do much. Still, I think I will try it.... I noticed it's also available on amazon.com. In the mean time, ...

Susan & Herb - that's very helpful information... thanks.

Diana2 - That's right... I forgot it's 3 oz.!! I could have blundered over 1 oz. Thank you.

Thanks kygirl.

Currently I have in my amazon.com shopping cart:

Repel 4 oz. 20% DEET / SPF 15 Sun & Bug Stuff Lotion

Maybe 20% is not enough? I hate to dowse the kids (and adults!) if they don't need a higher % however!!

Hi everyone, We'll be visiting St. Thomas / St. John in mid- to late-June. I keep reading about all the mosquitos due to the recent rain! I'm trying to figure out which insect repellent to buy / bring... and with what % DEET. I see everything from 5% to 100%. Most of what I'm looking at has approx. ...

We're actually staying on St. Thomas at the Marriott (free using points). But we plan to go over to St. John via the ferry 4 of the 8 days. Then we're off to Virgin Gorda for 5 nights.

Leinster Bay / Waterlemon Cay is one of the 1st places we want to visit on St. John!

Very nice... from where are the 3 pics taken?? We're newbies, visiting for the first time next month.

Have a great trip! Come back with a great report and great pics.

We'll hold down the fort for you here in So Cal while you're away.

Hi gibber161 - We'll be on St. Thomas between 6/18 and 6/25, but we're planning on coming over to St. John for 3-4 day trips (it looks like we'll be there on 6/22 and 6/23 for sure). Our daughter will be a couple of weeks shy of turning 16 and our son is 12. We're from San Diego. We'd love to get to...

Hi everyone,

FYI. The Rx patch mentioned a couple of times above is called the Transderm Scope.

Can you provide more information on the boat trip--I'd be interested in knowing how to sign up. It sounds really informative and interesting. I found the Friends of Virgin Islands National Park website. Then I called them at the phone number below. http://www.friendsvinp.org/Programs/seminars.htm (...

So how does Candi's compare with Uncle Joe's BBQ?

We'll probably only get to try one of them when we're visiting St. John in June... hubby loves BBQ!

Yes, I like Kino's too. I bought a pair for next to nothing in Key West a couple of years ago and still wear them.

I have the Lili sandal.
