Re: Thinking about a week on Jost

Thanks that helped a lot! I remember reading this now. The opening entry sais it all. If you want to be comfortable on Jost you have to defiantly spend over 4000$ a week. :roll: Don't want to do that. Esp. when I can be very comfortable on St. John for half that!

Re: Advice on first trip to St. John

One thing no one mentioned is to take a ride all over the island. Since you will defiantly want to come back. This will give you a feel for the island and where every thing is. Do a morning snorkel, eat lunch, take a nap and then take a drive before dinner. You will defiantly want to stay more than ...

Thinking about a week on Jost

We haven't even gotten to our trip this year and we are planning for next year. We were thinking of switching it up a little... Like a week on Jost. I know many of you do this, and I probably could look it up in past posts, but I am not to swift when it comes to such things. :? So talk to me...

favorite beach reads for kindle

Don't like packing lots of books so I am bringing my Kindle. I have purchased 4 books at this time. I would like some suggestions. I want something light. I don't like scary stuff... I like island stuff. Occasionally into a sleazy romance. (Sets the mood... hubba hubba :twisted: ) What are some sugg...

Re: Good deal on air

We used points this year for ours and paid a little over 40$, payed full price for daughter and her husband's tickets. Our card is no longer doing points. May change cards. It did take us a couple of years and rehabbing a house to collect enough points.

Re: Question for Florida forumites

Maybe I can help give you a ray of hope. I have found direct airfares on AA from MIA as low as $295 RT. Also, if you are up for it, Spirit has some good prices (I forget if it's from FLL or MIA). I know it's a hike from your area, but may be worth considering. Also, if you can get a sale price on S...
