Re: Trip report 12/31 - 1/10

Great report! We were there the same time as you. Always have to take newbies to Trunk. We tried Gibney that Thursday but too wavy. Wonder if that was you camped out by the tire swing when we stopped by! :D

Re: Any rain on St. John recently/Sea lice ?

We were there last week and it was lush and green. Just beautiful. We didn't experience any sea lice. It was great!! (Other than crowded beaches).

Re: Best ticker check when it says today! And cruise ship ?

We always go to Hawksnest on our first day as it is my husband's favorite beach. We got a bit of a later start stopping and Sam and Jack's and then Low Key for snorkel gear. It was probably 10:45 am and we got to Hawknest and the lot was full but thankfully got a couple parking spots just beyond the...

Best ticker check when it says today! And cruise ship ?

The day is finally here! Woo hoo! Super excited for our clan of 8 to be heading to STJ. I'm a bit worried about the crowds and especially next Wed and Thurs with the cruise ships in. Wednesday has 5 ships with like 18,000 passengers. How many % tend to come over? Will we be safe at Cinammon or need ...

La Tapa or Extra Virgin?

Hubby and I get one night out for dinner just the two of us. Thinking La Tapa or Extra Virgin. We haven't been to either. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Pros and Cons.

Aqua Girl - Just wanted to give an update on shipping. I shipped two Large Flat Rate Boxes on Thursday afternoon December 17th from Wisconsin. Shipping cost was $17.90 each. They arrived on Monday, Dec 21. Wow - can't believe how fast over the holidays!!

Woo Hoo! Counting the days!

Re: Can you share your lists for shipping and Cost-U-Less?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Still debating the Cost U Less. Don't want to spend a long time in line. We are bringing along a Polar Bear with frozen meat so it would be mostly dairy, produce and beverages. Going to noodle on it. Yes, Aqua Girl I can post my shipping charges and timing. Getti...

Re: Can you share your lists for shipping and Cost-U-Less?

Ha ha! Just found I posted my own flat rate shipping list a few years ago! Had forgotten some things since then. Suggestions still welcome.

Regarding Cost-u-less, what's worth it to get there rather than over Starfish? Wine and liquor? Or not bother? Thanks!
