We live in rural mid-Michigan and I was parked at the grocery store--the car next to me has the exact same 'STJ' bumper sticker as mine~also, I was leaving a customer's office Friday after regaling them with stories of St. John, letting them know we are going there this week, ran into another vendor...

Well after many long winter months we are finally headed to the airport in Detroit this afternoon--staying the night then flying into STT tomorrow morning. Pick up the car, ferry from Red Hook then beautiful St. John! Thanks for all of the advice and feedback--I'll try to post pics this week. Can't ...

Dang! Gotta leave on the 4th but we'll be there starting this Sunday for the week! Hope to meet you all. DnD, where are you from in OR? We trsvel to see family in Oregon City often. Small world!

Cruz Views is good for one person, they are really small units - but be careful as some are really outdated and a few are rundown. We love unit #3 (fantastic bathroom with indoor/outdoor shower) and #7.

They will also be at Sputniks on April 1 when we are on island, can't wait! We have not been able to see Innervisions for a couple of years so we rely on their CDs. Should be a great time!

If you want to wow them with an amazing view and a beautiful place, check out Mafolie in St. Thomas...we loved it there!

Hi - we are also from Michigan, staying until April 4 at Century Hill Estates - what type of place are you looking for? Century Hill Estates has nice 2 BR units and efficiencies, not far from town. Very reasonable.
Perhaps we'll run into you while we are there.

I've looked back a couple of weeks and can't find anything about any forum gatherings--anything coming up on STJ? We are there Mar. 29 - April 4.

We love some of the bands we've seen in Key West--Boat Drunks from the Chicago area (www.boatdrunks.com), Jim Morris (www.jim-morris.com) and Gene Mitchell (www.genemitchell.com) - all beach/boat/island music. They are all also on itunes if you want to check out some smaple music.

This is such an insightful thread as it really shows the value of the time we spend with people we love in the places that mean so much to us. St. John is so special for our family--we also bring our teenagers who transform from busy, detached people in the 'real world' to fun loving beach bums who ...

We will be arriving from Michigan on the 29th and would love to do the hike but since we don't land in STT until 3:30 I doubt if we'd make it. Sounds like a very cool hike. Looks like Miss Lucy's on the 30th for us!
