Impending blizzard #2... and...
and... I thought today might be a good day to drown my winter doldrums by breaking out our suitcases and start throwing a few things in. And the fun begins:
2-3 shorts
2-3 shirts
2 bathing suits
2 cover ups
Keen's
Now, who's up for another 1.5-2 feet of snow ?!!

I know, you poor people in New England! This winter is testing your resolve...at least you have a nice STJ vacation to look fwd too.
Pam, how is your husband? Is he AOK now? Stay warm, be safe.

It has been a rough winter for sure! My husband is still having alot of pain with his toe/foot. It is difficult to " rest" and try to stay off from it, when mother nature just won't give us a break. He has a follow up appointment with his PCP this week.Thanks for asking.

I have been packing in my head for months! What's on your " must not forget" list?
I also pack an inexpensively purchased large suitcase ( $2 at Goodwill) with snacks, shampoo/suntan lotion, essential condiments, etc. We fly Jet Blue so it costs nothing to bring and then I just leave it on island when we come home. I have been busy filling that for a couple weeks now.
Re: Impending blizzard #2... and...
That's a great idea about getting the cheap luggage at your local thrift store! For our last visit to St. John we utilized Connections and send a package full of suntan lotion, shampoo, toothpaste, mosquito spray and such. Walked off the ferry and grabbed the box then off to. Coral Bay!
Re: Impending blizzard #2... and...
Call us crazy but we bring our single serving Keurig with us so that we can enjoy that "perfect" cup of coffee every morning on the deck...that definitely can make or break our day so that's first on my must bring list I just ordered the "sit n float" seats for the pool which is also a must have. We'll leave those behind for others to enjoy! I'll pack my soft sided cooler with frozen meats and such and put that in our checked luggage. We're flying US Air this year so we'll pay to check it but so worth it! My boys love to fly Jet Blue..I just haven't been able to find prices that work.

Also sitting here in SNOWY New England thinking about our trip to STJ!! Thinking about the Beaches, Bars and Restaurants. We are just so done with this winter! We had -12 yesterday morning!!!
Re: Impending blizzard #2... and...
I'm also cold, here in Jersey.
Can't imagine what yous guys are going through up there...(I think we got the frigid temps, sans snow, but could be wrong...)
It's hard NOT to think about a "packing-list" for the vacation,- then with the current winter conditions, the anticipation and desire is compounded.
So much more enjoyable being "Knee Deep In The Water Somewhere", compared to knee deep in snow everywhere!
As excited for your relief as I am my own!
