You are certainly in my prayers. Hope to see your posts from a wonderful trip in August

Where is the best place(if any) to buy cheap(er) rum, etc on St Thomas or St. John? Starfish gourmet kills our budget

That's CHICKUNGUNYA VIRUS

News reports in California report this awful virus is in the US Virgin Islands . Anyone know of cases on SJ? It sounds scary

Hi All! I'm coming down for my 13th trip in late July. (too lazy to post a ticker) This time we want to try something new!! Are there any suggestions for horseback riding on the Beach? I know it's not really done on St. John but any ideas if we travel over to St. Thomas for the day? I can't wait to ...

Heading back to the rock for year 13 and I'm wondering if anyone has a review of the restaurant that replaced ZOZO's at Gallows Point. We love eating at the bar and watching the sunset and visiting with the people around us.

I have traveled to St John every June or July for the past eleven years. The first years with my hubby, then with kids and their various boyfriends and girlfriends and now with hubby unable to travel .... all by myself. Yup I'm an addict.

Absolutely go alone! I have gone alone for the last two years and I'm planning my next trip for July 2013. I would not recommend a villa, they get very lonely at night. I stayed at a villa for 13 days this summer and then moved to Estate Lindholm to extend my stay another 5 days and would highly rec...

I too recommend the KYSS Bag - works great. I just cover it up with chairs and towels so it's not so obvious.

Thank you, Thank you P600...... I'd hate to have to try to climb over that gate.......I'm old -

DAMN!!! I knew this was too good to be true!

Wow - I just read in ski2play's most recent (great) trip report that the gate at Ditleff has been taken down, allowing access to the beach!!! Can this be true? Last July my son and I met a Ditleff resident (lucky guy) who was kind enough to give us his access code (for the day) when we mentioned it ...
