Just Thought I Would Share

Post by bill »

We are leaving for St John on the 5th! Started packing this morning and I feel like a kid on Christmas. I have been going to St. John for 15 years now, and I still get so excited I can barely stand it. I have to work all this week - help - the time can't go by fast enough. My husband took off Friday to ease the torturous wait.

Is anyone else this emotional about St John or am I just nuts!!!

You're not crazy- there are a ton of us right there with you! Congrats on the trip in a week- it's always so much fun that last week before leaving- nothing can shake my awesome mood then! Have fun and send reports if you can!

No your not crazy. We've been going for the last thirteen years and I still start packing a month ahead. First the boxes to ship down and then the carry-ons. We are still perfecting the process.

Are my comments invisible? I feel like I post comments and they are completely disregarded by my fellow forum-goers. Like I'm not someone you know or know enough about so you just bypass my messages like I don't exist :(

Larry, I am jealous that you are leaving Tuesday! We have to wait until the 28th and it seems the days are dragging. Just finished mapping out a tentative reefs, bays snorkle itinerary and that was a fun process. Better start that packing and have a blast! :)

Oh yeah I am there with you all, 17 years for us and we leave this Sunday! Just a quick 3 nights this time but I am so excited and can't wait to see the fireworks over Cruz Bay - a bucket list item!

Oh and it took 16 years to get down to carry on status!

That's OK. The more converts we make, the more crowded the beaches and restaurants get. :wink: I like the uncroweded off season just the way it is.
