Re: Polar Bear Cooler
I always put mine in a suitcase or duffle. I dont trust baggage handlers with my polar bear. I'm always afraid that it will "get lost" and the suitcase provides an extra layer of security.

Re: Best options staying 1 night on STT in-bound to STJ?
We stayed at the Green Iguana. I wanted a place with a full sized refrigerator to make sure my frozen food stayed that way. It was clean, the beds were comfy, the a/c worked, the price was good, and the owners were very nice...I will stay there again on our next trip...

Re: Food
We leave plenty of money on St John/St Thomas, too. The Lovely Wife's prefers spending money on pretty rocks to wear on her fingers, wrists, and around her neck, not on food...lol

Re: Food
Dang...forgot about the techni-ice...very important...I put one sheet on the bottom, one in the middle, and one on top. I put my cooler in and old suitcase to check it. It just adds an extra level of safety and any unscrupulous airport baggage handlers don't know there's food in there. I cook some t...

Re: Food
I use a Polar Bear soft sided cooler. I used it this summer on our trip to Nassau. After 36 hours, most everything was still frozen...what wasn't frozen was perfectly fine...and they're having their 2 for 1 sale right now...

Re: Who's been to Maui?
Maui Revealed is a great guide. One thing that wasn't mentioned was the Nakalele Blowhole. It's pretty awesome to experience the power of the ocean. The road to Hana is an all day experience. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the waterfalls. Iao Valley is pretty awesome, too. Honolua Bay is picturesque...

Re: St John vs Hawaii snorkeling
I've been to Oahu, Maui, and Kauai. There are some good spots where the currents and the ocean swell aren't too bad. But, the water is colder and I much prefer snorkeling on St John to anywhere I've snorkeled in the Hawaiian Islands. Don't get me wrong, Hawaii, especially Kauai, is stunningly beauti...

Re: SJU > STT via Cape Air? Opinions?
We've had no problems with Cape Air. It's fun flying sideways in the thermals over Puerto Rico and doing a short field approach and landing because a heavy is right behind you...it's really exciting...My son got to sit in the co-plots seat...he loved it...
