Mongoose Junction @ 3:00. The kids dress up and trick or treat at all the shops.

I stayed there a couple of years ago before we moved down to STJ. I loved the cottage and the layout. Nice outdoor shower and pool. I say go for it!

The "Little G" is not on the menu but you can order that too. It is the same as the Big G minus one hamburger patty! I love The Rum Hut!

I just wanted to share my friend Sean's blog with you all. I am getting my computer fixed in the states and can't post anything new on my blog from my iPad. Sean is a great writer and I think you'll get a really good feel of island living from his posts. He also runs the Only In St John Facebook pag...

So happy!

My friends who live here were just telling me that they had them in their car. They popped the seats forward and they were living under the seats where the kids had dropped food. They lay eggs their eggs in the carpet. They need to be vacuumed out and the carpets need to be cleaned. They haven't had...

Today at Hawksnest both my husband and a friend were stung by sea lice. We couldnt see them but they left a nasty burn like mark that was bubbling and oozy. It is very painful. If you do get stung use vinegar on the wound.

Looking forward to ALL of it!

Bou-quet is next to the Lime Inn and the Pink Papaya. They are still in business. That is so nice of you--BTW

You should definitely stop by Starfish Gourmet and grab a sandwich from Lori before you hit the beach. Every week day she makes a vegetarian option, a meat lover's option and usually a dessert. Prices are affordable and the food is excellent! Deli Grotto is another one of my favorites-The Greek Sand...

Before we moved here we always tipped our villa greeter $20 after showing us to the house whether we stopped for groceries or not and we would leave $20 for the cleaners on the day we left. While working for a villa management company on island I hardly ever heard from our villa greeter's that they ...

Jewels is now Little Switzerland. They have a really good selection of Tag Heuer Watches in both the Mongoose and Westin locations. When we bought a watch back in September the woman told us their prices are exactly the same as their stores in St. Thomas.
