54b I was thinking of you on the way down as my daughter was drinking more water then I thought :D I did have a couple of painkillers the night before :D I conserved what I drank so we would have enough on the way back up. We had just enough and it was awesome felt great. I will try to post a pictur...

Hi all, I will try to make this report much shorter then two years ago. This was our second trip with our family which included myself, hubby, son (16) and daughter (12). We flew American Airlines non-stop out of JFK which was alot cheaper flying out of Philly or even Newark and they had no non-stop...

Dorian - Please go away :) I will be watching this storm closely as we fly out on Friday morning. Heading to airport tomorrow - Can't believe it is finally here!!!!! So super excited. Staying on STJ Friday and coming over on the Ferry on Saturday. I hope the boat ride is fine. I am not a big fan of ...

I guess we will just suffer with some crowds :D Kidding of course just didn't want to go to a beach where it was really crowded. I know we went to Maho on our last visit and it really was not crowded so maybe will try that again or try a new beach. Gibney is on my list this year along with some othe...

Hi all - so excited. Leaving for JFK on Thursday and early flight Friday morning. Staying on STT for one night at Best Western Emerald Beach then over to STJ for 9 days. Our first beach day will be Sunday so what is a good first beach day where not alot of crowds? Can't wait to get there and snorkel...

Hi Betsy - Well, Francis is one of our favorite beaches and now that you mentioned the thong I will have to bring the whole family :D Sounds like you are having a good time we are only days away now and super excited. I better get packing tonight!! My 12 year old daughter and I want to do the Reef B...

Hi everyone - We are staying one night on STT at Best Western Emerald Beach before coming to STJ. How much should I expect to pay the taxi drivers from the hotel to Red Hook for the four of us? Thanks.

Thanks everyone - We will see what happens but think my daughter and I will do this hike. When you get on island time sometimes things change but of course this is something she really wants to do so it probably will happen. 54b - I have read your "encounter" more then once as it does give...

Thanks. Pia - I did see that hill on youtube but I am up for a good challenge. This way I will be fine eating and drinking as much as I want that night :D Good thing I am in pretty good shape as I run about 3 miles 2x a week and 6 or so Saturday/Sunday. If you want you can come push me up the last 1...

Our family will be on STJ at end of July :) It will be myself, husband, son (16)and daughter (12). Our daughter has become very interested in all the history of STJ and wants to hike the Reef Bay Hike along with some others. I know my husband will not do this hike but maybe son so it looks like my d...

philbetm - I know how you feel about people being rude. On our last vist two years ago we did not have a great experience at Aqua Bistro and for that reason will probably not return. I am sure it was probably an off night but left a bad feeling. Sorry, you had a bad experience with Shipwreck but I k...

Ok - We are getting closer to our trip so of course I have been on the computer way too much lately :) Luckily, I am off work for the summer as I work in a school district. Anyway, on our first trip our favorite restaurant was Shipwreck just loved it. We went to several such as Skinny legs, High Tid...

Hi all - I think this is what it is called. On our last visit we did buy one but left it at villa since still wet and figured we would get another if we came back. Well, time to get another but can't remember where I bought it from?? Do I have to buy it online or can I get it at somewhere like Targe...

Cinnamon Bay is beautiful it was one of our beaches that we went to on our first visit. We will try to do the Cinnamon Bay ruins as it looks nice and easy.

We love sushi and Shipwreck was one of our favorites on our first trip. Will see you soon.
