If you’re only going to STJ for a couple days, you should do fine with a compact car. My husband and I used to rent a compact car for STJ, but we’ve been there enough times now that we like to explore the places we haven’t yet seen…and we need 4WD to do that. There are definitely some places, especi...

I happened to catch the interview because I Tivo’d ‘The Amazing Race,’ but 60 Minutes was running late so I got most of the show by accident. I am a big country music fan, but I don’t like the new pop-country stuff, and unfortunately a lot of Kenny Chesney’s music fits into that category. I do love ...

Trunk and Cinnamon are the two best choices if you’re traveling the island by taxi, as they are the only two beaches that pretty much always have taxis waiting to take you back to Cruz Bay (or somewhere else). You can get to other beaches via taxi, but getting back could be a problem, so Trunk and C...

Did you snorkel around the cay at Cinnamon? If so, I think you can handle Waterlemon. They're about the same, except you have to be careful when you're getting in the water at Waterlemon because there is coral and other sea life right along the rocky shore. There is also a sandbar at Watermelon that...

My husband and I vacation in STJ every summer for 10 days. We spend at least 3 of those days at Maho every trip, yet we have never snorkeled there. Where is the best place to snorkel at Maho? We also usually do the hike out to Drunk Bay, but have never hung out at Salt Pond Bay. I guess I've been tu...

Did you also see that an elderly couple was attacked? It's pathetic.

For those of you who love Francis, what exactly about it do you love? My husband and I haven't visited Francis for a couple years, as we weren't very impressed the last time we were there and haven't been back since. When we were there, the sand wasn't very nice and the snorkeling was only ok. Just ...

Oh how I love the smoothie shack!

The mango smoothies are probably my all time fave, if the right guy makes it. Yum.

I stayed at Hawksbill for 10 days about 6 months ago...what do you want to know? A couple comments that I can think of off the top of my head... - There is a wonderful, sweet black kitty who "lives" at Hawksbill...she'd be waiting for us in the tree by the front every night when we got bac...

Hi Jan&MikeVa- My husband and I stayed at La Collina (of Caribbean Villas) a few years ago, and I think it would be just about perfect for you. See: http://www.caribbeanvilla.com/lacollina/lacollina.html You drive right up to the main (upper) level of the house. There are two bedrooms on the upp...

>>>>Probably more on STT if you figure in the cost of the ferry round trip. Actually, the car ferry is often the cheaper option...by the time you add up the cost of a taxi to the ferry station and the people ferry cost, it can be quite a bit more than the car ferry, since everyone rides for one pric...

I concur with everybody else...you'll definitely be wanting a vehicle right away. St. John is an incredible place, and you really need to drive around to see and enjoy it all. Also, just a friendly reminder...please take your cigarette butts with you when you leave the beach. This summer I noticed a...

Just wanted to add my 2 cents... I greatly prefer the new format, and have had this page bookmarked for a long time, but rarely visited it because I disliked the old format so much (however, I did visit another VI forum daily)...now that the format is better (in my opinion), I've been visiting here ...
