Great to hear that your going back. It will be a while before we go sadly. Having a kid in college is a big factor.

I love every trip report you do! You make my heart bleed for St.John. Great job with the pic's, and thank you for making my day!

Year's ago I attended a father's day fish fry at Miss Lucy's. 2007 was the year, and it was fantastic! I ranked it right up there with the West Indian buffet at the Former Hyatt back in 1994.

Hey, forum family, if you get a chance, check out a new Youtube video shot at Little Lamshure? The name of it is "Field Research,St.John U.S.V.I." by Stephen Campbell. If you don't like Lionfish, you'll love this video! Maybe someone could attach it to this post?? Have a nice day!

I learned this week of the passing of Russell Johnson, Gilligan's Island's professor. There are only 2 cast members left now. For me the show was something that I looked forward to when I came home from school back in the early 1970's.It was my first experience of island life. Back then I watched as...

Whishing all my forum family warm Christmas wishes.(no seastars were harmed during the snapshot) Parafins

Rays and Rum,I thought you might like to see what St.John looked like back in 1996.This was to your right once you stepped of the ferry dock!

PA Girl,do you remember the new Susuki jeeps with no carpet in them?At that time when the new jeeps would come in,they would rip the carpet out of them due to the sand!I have a question for you...when did you discover Waterlemon Cay?For us it took 2 more trips to the rock to discover that little gem...

If i had to do it all over again,i would have married my better half on a beach on St.John.I also would have split my time with the Hyatt Resort,and Caneel. At that time they both cost the same,but my wife liked the picture of the pool,and that the Hyatt had a t.v! I could care less for a t.v. becau...

As i do every year,i like to mention my first time on the rock.My wife,and i have been married for 19 years as of October 1st.Our honeymoon was the day after,and we picked St.John.It was the first time we visited St.John,and what a impression it left on both of us.I still recall the old Red Hook doc...

Thank you for the pics of the cottages.It's still hard to accept that the campground is gone.
