I have yet to go thru my underwater photos so I am HOPING I took some shots of what I saw. They sure looked like the example Pia posted, w/ super long tentacles. They had that box-like body shown in her link, and were super transparent. I was fascinated by them as I had never seen jellies like that ...

WOW...I wasn't even thinking they were more than baby jellyfish either! I saw them at Lameshur a couple weeks ago, very close to the shore and was amazed at the numbers but no problems w/ getting stung. Wonder what makes us attractive ? The mosquito's had a feast on me when we first arrived, but the...

Since my trip report is on hold til after the holidays I dug up these pixs I took just 2 short weeks ago... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4026/4205995185_f4b74c34bb.jpg next 2 are along the path... http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4205995419_c0d7ba0a88.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2703/420...

silverheels, no I didn't see it, but I remember thinking I'd like to see it ... and still do. I will look around for it.

I too googled it ... google is a good friend to me!

Silverheels, was it Mad Hot Ballroom?

Dianne...I am sure that was well worth all the time and effort you put into helping w/ this program. The joy shows up on the photo. Good work!!!

Cross Big Belly Deli off the lunch list in Coral BAy. We stopped for sandwiches on Tuesday and he told us he was closing in 8 days...packing up his stuff and leaving St John. When I asked how business was he said it was off 40% from last year and last year was off 40% from the year before...he also ...

Thanks hugo...that makes sense.

Today it looks like they have blocked the steps and are beginning to remove them.

Funny you should ask...hubby timed some of it and it took 45 minutes out and 35 back. The difference is how many pix's I took out and back. It is one mile from the trail head. When we get home I will post specifics including those photos. I'm down to one more full day here ... ugh ...been a great tr...

RUM is the answer! It cures all the travel woe's. And I have to repeat Pia's 'bra' comment (Hi Dianne!)...I thot I needed a new one before I got here and I have yet to wear the old one I brought, and I'm not on no stinking boat! All that stuff stops making any impact once you get to the important st...

Good idea Gromit but nope, still no escalator at SAlt Pond...we did that climb today. Our first visit to Salt Pond of many that the water was not very clear, kind of disappointing snorkeling, but the hike out to Ram Head was stellar! So another GOOD day here on St John...hope all is good for you as ...

It is a HUGE improvement! Gentle slope, directly across from the 4 car parking spot! Been down there twice this trip, scored parking both times we wanted to visit. Why the steps were ever built in relationship to where the parking is has always been strange. Glad to read the steps will be removed.

She is the best:

340~771~2986

She was waiting for us w/ that big smile and stories for the ride to Red Hook.

Will see her again Wed for the return...boohoo, but she will give us the smile, and everything will be good...she does appreciate all the business that has come her way from this forum!

I WONDERED ABOUT THAT?

It was a dark, no ID, no ad kind of helicopter ... I DID think government at one point as they seemed to concentrate on specific areas, that they checked out. I could see a person looking out the open door but not specific enuf to see a camera...good point Pia...hmmm?

Bill...the chopper came over here to Coral Bay area also. Did quite a few rounds from Bordeaux Mt toward Skinny Legs and then up above Aqua Bistro along Costanzo's Rd ( AKA Lower Bordeaux Rd)...we had a villa gravity day, in which we also had the pleasure of watching 6 cement trucks run up that road...
