1. Cruz Bay Grill Rub
2. Nutmeg and grater
3. The multi-color wooden scoops. I bought a bunch as gifts and everyone loves them. Pretty and practical. Evertime I use mine it takes me back to St. John because they had several items made out of the same multicolor wood in our villa.

Love your report. You crack me up, girl! We saw a machete guy when we were there also. Now it looked like our guy had just finished clearing some brush along the road, maybe for some parking. But he's a big dude, walking down the road with a giant machete and there's this jogger woman, a little thin...

pjayer - How mean! We had no problem. We had the conch wrapped up in some t-shirts in our carry-on. He would have been devastated had they taken it. It really does sound cool. My neighbor used to have a big bell that she rang when she wanted the kids to come in for dinner. I told my son that I'm goi...

Thanks for the great report and pics, Pickle! Your pictures helped us identify some of the creatures we saw snorkeling last week. Sometimes it's hard to figure out from the fish chart. But pictures like yours really help.

Wow, that is a killer view! I know what you mean about getting the TR done. I wanted to finish mine over the weekend, but it looks like it's gonna be another day or two. I've been enjoying your report. Thanks for posting it!

We just stayed in Villa Bijou last week. I think it would work great for you. Really nice pool. 3 equal sized masters, 2 upstairs, 1 downstairs. View of Great Cruz Bay, about midway up the hill.

Day 5 Up early again, so after we had a good pancake breakfast and packed our lunch we were on our way to Hawksnest. Wow! What a pretty beach this is. I especially liked the view from the walkways in, with the trees framing the view. The reefs were so close to shore here and in very shallow water. W...

chrisn - Not just a coconut smoothie, but a Lime in de Coconut smoothie. It was divine. By the way, I've been enjoying your VG trip report on the off-topic forum. Your Critter Boy sounds a lot like my 13 yr. old. In looking at our pictures, I found that about 50% of them are of lizards, geckos, herm...

There are A/C units in the bedrooms and in the great room area. However, the one in the great room area wasn't quite powerful enough to cool the whole room down in the evening if you had that back wall open during the day. It just took too long. If you kept the house closed up most of the time it wa...

Day 3 So because we were in bed at a ridiculously early time last night, we are up at an equally ridiculous time this morning. The up side of that is that we are going to Trunk today, so we want to get there early. We checked the cruise ship schedule and there are no cruise ships in port. We get to ...

Thanks for all the nice comments. Hopefully I can get the next installment out this evening.

aroobagirl - I definitely plan on doing a review of Villa Bijou. It really is a great villa, in a great location.

Hi guys! We got back at 2:00 AM this morning!! Wow, what a great trip. Right now I am in a deep dark depression, excessive misery!! I can't believe it's over. But we will be back, oh we WILL be back!!! Thanks to everyone for such great advice and for sharing your experiences. I almost felt like I ha...

Hey vaycay, we are heading out tomorrow, too! I'm packed and ready to go. Now all I have to do is wait, and try to get a few hours sleep tonight. Like that's going to happen. Have a safe trip and a great VAYCAY!!
