All I have to do is look at your photos and I am looking at my dream vacation and I feel myself flooded with all of those happy memories had on STJ. There is something about that shot of the Shipwreck Landing sign that puts me right there at Shipwreck Pat's looking out at that view and counting my b...

Oh no! I'm sad but so glad we were able to enjoy her company and her cooking over the years. She certainly deserves a wonderful retirement. Hope she knows how appreciated she's been.

Oh and thanks for the tip John. I bet it is the property you mention.

Was just reading on another thread that Vie's is all chained up. Does anyone know if she has closed for good? Coincidentally, a friend whose son is at Mass Maritime said that cadets will be staying on St. John at a property called Vie's for 2 weeks in February for training. Does anyone know if that ...

I don't know about availability but have you looked at Argonauta?

Trunk is so stunningly beautiful that we can't not go at least once a trip. We're all decently early risers so we just pack breakfast and some bloody marries or mimosas (in plastic!) and go really early and have the beach to ourselves. When is starts to get busy we pack up and head somewhere else.

Beautiful flower- looks a lot like a hibiscus. I wonder if they are in the same family. Speaking of a good yellow flower mystery, several years ago we were on the island in late April and saw this beautiful tree in full bloom. I was never able to find out what it was.

Hi folks! It's been a while. I have checked in periodically over the last couple of years but haven't been on St. John since 2015. I recall reading about some changes with the car ferries. Can anyone comment on whether the changes (if still in effect) have made it less convenient to rent the vehicle...

Wow! You are an awesome photographer! Thanks for posting.

Oh, phew!! I can live with that.

WHAT??? I had not heard! Is Vie closing?

I'm curious if the delegate seats that were won by the new folks were contested or vacant. If vacant and a new resident wants to fill is that not a positive? It may make you feel a little better to know that with regard to Rule 40, Cruz already has won 8 states so the USVI territory will not make a ...

Wow, that crab fettucini looks amazing. You going to try it at home? Thanks for the fun report, as always.

So I'm reading throughout the comments sections of some of the articles on this story and came across this: " Back in 1972, the Supreme Court ruled that long residency requirements were unconstitutional; they did allow a short residency requirement of 30-50 days for administrative convenience, ...
