We had also heard great things about using Rachel from STT to Red Hook and provided friends with her # who were flying in and wanted to avoid the loaded van with stops to Red Hook. Unfortunately when they arrived at the airport with just carry on Rachel wasn't at the airport yet and when another gen...

We have also chosen to stay the 1st and last night on St Thomas, we find it to be so much less stressful both arriving and leaving, checking out of the villa and catching that ferry is a lot less depressing, and allows us extra time on STJ the day we leave, when not heading straight to the airport. ...

Have you checked with Penn's? We have used them for the last 18 years, usually a few dollars more than some of the on island (checked Amalie and the rates are within a few dollars), but downtown parking in their lot is always available, always new cars and I have never been disappointed with their c...

We are a little further out leave the 25th, wife has all our clothes and island "stuff" laid out, but are in the same boat, don't know what to do with ourselves!! You would think after 16 trips to STJ it would be easier but actually seems to get more difficult. Kevin F

Dont know if price is still as low, but we booked a week ago round trip from JFK to STT non stop both ways for late Feb 2013 and the fare was 331.00 w/all taxes and fees

Just wondering how the swell on the north shore beaches has
been effecting the snorkeling/visibility. Will be on island 1/20!
Hoping for some good north shore snorkeling.

I second ZoZos also, we make a point of having a meal there every year, and have not been disappointed and we also love the view, as it is just the two of us this year we are going to try to reserve at the bar for dinner around sunset, have always wanted to try this but usually have a larger group. ...

We have used Penns for the past 14 years and have never had a problem that wasnt't addressed immediately. Always have found parking in their in town lot, which for us is a HUGE plus, granted they are a little more expensive than others but it is well worth it to us, we will be using them once again ...

Sounds great!! We will also be on island then (1/19-2/1) staying in Fish Bay area, this is our favorite area so far and have stayed here the last 4 of our 15 years coming to St John. We are staying at Reef Bay cottage this time for 8 days after first 2 nites in St Thomas and then are going to stay 3...

Have you checked out Cruz Bay Boutique Hotel, it is easy walk from the ferry, we booked to extend 8 day stay at Reef Bay cottage in January 2012. Reviews all seem positive.

We are arriving in STT Saturday and spending the night at Windward Passage and then heading over to St John for a week, does anyone know what the downtown schedule to Cruz Bay is I have been checking schedules on this site and VIonline and also Varlaks website and it appears there is either a 10 or ...

The long awaited departure day is tomorrow for a day in STT and then on to STJ for 12 days....but NO! Only the biggest snowstorm of the year basically arriving almost to the hour of our departure from JFK, with up to 14" of snow forecast, luckily American Airlines instituted a "storm polic...

Just re booked for refund voucher for travel from NY JFK to STT non stop r/t price for ticket flying out on a Monday and returning on a Friday (March 2 - 13) is 220.70 with all fees and taxes, figured if anyone is on the fence now is the time to buy...seems when you fly is a big factor, friends who ...

I didnt mention it in my earlier post, but we did use Ann Marie Porter and we were very happy with her.

Hi, we were married on St John in 2005 at a villa on Gift Hill, just a thought although you can do a lot of the paperwork for the marriage license over the phone with the office in St Thomas, she will still need to appear in person at the courthouse in CA to finalize everything. This can be a bit of...
