Thanks for the trip report Linne. Sound as if you both had fun.

Not since my son got back July 2nd. He said & poor thing said it was hot as hell quoting him. I told him but not as bad as outside

In my experience on United code shares, we check in at the US Air counter. Hopefully you are coming back via Charlotte. The United direct from DC is quite nice. The only challenge is if they cancel the flight you usually end up flying via Chicago. October is the earliest I usually see the United di...

Hello, It has been a few years since I last been to St Thomas. I am able to get down for 4 nights, 5 days this coming October. Flying on United from Washington DC non stop on Saturday 20th. I am staying at Morningstar since it is a short visit & I like the resort, hope to see some of St John if ...

Just read a trip report on another forum and their camera bag with camera and memory cards were stolen out of their checked baggage that went thru San Juan on the way home (not unheard of in that airport). Lost all their trip pics. The camera can be replaced, but those memory saving photos cannnot....

Hey everyone! I'm heading down to STJ in 1 month and 1 week (also heading to Vegas on Friday)! I would like to avoid checking luggage this year (maybe). I am emotionally attached to some of my lotions-&-potions that are not available in travel sizes. Can I transfer, say, my hair cream into a 3 ...

Here's the info that I got from USAir. I got this information because I was told when I applied for their Master Card that I would be able to get a companion ticket for $99 when I booked a flight over $250. Well, when I tried to do this last night - no such thing! The Virgin Islands are considered ...

In order to get cheaper airfare we have to go down to St. Thomas a day earlier and of course the villa we are renting is booked. So we need a place to spend the night. I was wondering if anyone has stayed at either Blue Beard's Castle or Best Western Carib and what you guys thought of them. Or if y...

Hi everyone, Just got back a month ago from my favorite island in the world (St. John) and am still in withdrawal. Yesterday, I received an invitation to go stay at the STT Marriot resort for 5 days/4 nights for only 200 bucks. Seems like a great deal but having never been over there, I am curious ...

I think you might mean the Best Western Emerald Beach resort? It is right by the airport, and has its own beach. We've not stayed there, but we've talked with people who have and they were all pleased. I have been told that it has a really cute beach and it's not crowded at all. Yes, the Best Weste...

The major airlines are publishing their final November schedules right now. If you check sometime next week, your schedule should be pretty much locked in. That is not always the case as I posted AA changed the flight number & time the week we were to leave. No seats or nothing if not for me ch...

You're probably about right. AA changed my flight to Nassau several times this past summer. About 45 days before "wheels up", the schedule "locked in". If your schedule changes, make sure your seats hsven't changed. I wish that would be the case 45 days out you are safe to assum...

Hello, As usual, we booked frequent flier tickets in January for our upcoming trip in November. It is also normal for AA to change the schedule quite frequently. However, in the past, I never paid much attention because we were either landing in STT to catch the ferry to STJ (which run frequently a...

Is anyone planning to be on STJ then? Maybe we could do burgers and beers at Skinny's or Woody's? We would love to but ....we will be in Disney World, sorry, this is a special trip with our son & his wife as we can't talk them into the USVI, son would come but his wife is scared of flying :cry:...

Finally talked DH into a 4 nighter and that was all he would go for since he has many more overseas trips that he has to go on before end of year :( But since it is only 4 nights first day wasted due to flight time we are staying at Morningstar Beach in STT. Was hoping to do just carry on but now th...
