Hey Donna, I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I stayed at Le Lapin Thanksgiving week 2006 and LOVED it!!!!! I was part of a group of 22 that stayed at 3 different villas. I stayed at Le Lapin with my husband and two boys and my sister in law and brother in law and their two boys. The 8 ...

Rick really didn't need to talk anyone into going. Our other brother Chris had lived on St Thomas in the early 1990's so he was all for it. I had visted him while in college for 10 days and liked St Thomas (what I remember after the rum), but fell in love with St John. In 1997 (pre kids for my husba...

Rick, Job well done!!!! I very much enjoyed reading your post and it brings back memories of a wonderful trip! Our trip to the island went very smoothly and was nicely uneventful! I do think the airport's welcome rum punch cups should be larger though. I needed a reward after traveling from Boston w...

Excellent photos Rick! Your camera is really good!

I won't say too much as I am sure Rick's trip report will be great. Rick G and Chris G are my brothers and we were there with them, their children and Rick's girlfriend Christine, our parents, my husband's parents and my husband's two sisters and their spouses and children. We had a total of 9 kids ...

Now I'm scared!

Rick G Ha! I just talked to Mom and Dad and Mom is still trying to fit her cashews into her suitcase. She has FOUR pieces of luggage for HERSELF! A big suitcase, a smaller suitcase, a backpack and a carry on bag. I don't know what Dad has. I have one suitcase for 4 people and each of us has a carry ...

We are meeting Rick G and family in St John. I am glad we have passports as I am for anything that makes my life easier! Yea we paid close to $400 for ours and the kids, but if it means not having to deal with 1000 questions and issues I'm OK with it! No one knew what the State Dept was going to com...

Hey Fla George,

Have you or anyone else ever mailed drygoods ahead of time??? I am just wondering how it worked out.

Which of the two places you named are closest to the ferry dock in STJ? Do you know if they charge a fee to "hold" the items for you??

Thanks

Pickle and NC Sue, Thanks very much for the info. Much appreciated. How were the beach supplies? How many chairs, towels, coolers and any kids' beach toys? We are going in Nov 06. There are two families with a total of 4 kids ages 2,3, 6 and 8. Is the villa as kid friendly as advertised? Hope I am r...

Has anyone stayed there?
