I've been here for a week now and I haven't felt a bite and haven't seen a weed...

I was there a couple of weeks ago and felt them while snorkeling at Maho, but not in Hansen Bay…

I suspect everyone's reaction to them depends on your own personal chemistry, but for me it was no big deal…

The stings were minor and were gone by the time I got out of the water...

I passed it by several times last week… It's actually farther away from the restaurant than I pictured it to be; past the bamboo that was planted to block the view previously. Once when I was heading east, there was a west-bound safari taxi parked in the road so that the passengers could get out, cr...

I drove a Jimny around St. John last month and really enjoyed it. Yes, it doesn't have a lot of power, but the only area where it had trouble on the hills was out on the East End.

Great grocery option just down the road at Calabash Market, near Shipwreck Landing...

I have booked them again for my next trip...

And it wasn't just Sago Palms that was lost... The villa that was on the footprint that the monster replaced was called Villa Marisla. It was an old island-style home built with teak and native stone. There was an enormous stained glass window featuring a whale breaching the surface that was just ab...

Congratulations, Loria... As an ex-building blogger I urge you to just let it all hang out and have fun with it. The blog can be a great release for you during the building/renovating process, and a way of documenting everything that will be a hoot to look back on a few years from now... And as for ...

Jump on it if you can...
