Re: Trip report: Two more weeks in paradise, part 1

I love your trip reports! What are great part 1 and I can't wait for part 2.

We stayed at Caneel, this time and we were on island around the same time as you, I was wondering if I might run into you while at Caneel and finally get to meet you.

Again, love the trip report

Very unexpected July trip.

In honor of my sister-in-law and her new professorship. We will be heading to St. John in July. Can't believe our wait time is less than a month away!! Usually we book 6-9 months out, so this is crazyyyy exciting.

Any forum folks on the rock mid-July?

Re: Wire mesh thingy to lock your belongings

My sis-in-law bought one (Pac-Safe)for our girls trips since we are both in the water together. We love it, she bought the smaller one, but it is still large enough for IPhone, go-phone, small camera, and cash. It was one of the best purchases we've made for STJ. Ours looks just like Liamsaunt's but...

So I have 1 more night till take off. However this will be a sleepless night with thoughts of planes, ferries, and rum drinks swimming in mind. The night before always provides me with hours of anticipation, nerves, and in my case a little guilt since I will be leaving the family at home for another...

Re: ONE meal in St. John

If I only had 1 dinner out in STJ it would be a Rhumblines - hands down. It's my favorite restaurant anywhere.

My bar of choice is Beach Bar.

Re: What did you wish someone told you for your first trip

Here's mine

1. Don't cry while leaving on the ferry. You will be BACK.

2. Better yet you're young - why don't you stay. Take a year or two and enjoy. Adult life will be here for you when you get home.
