Re: Stinging Plankton - Any Updates?

I was in St. John last week. The only place they were really bad was Maho. My wife and I were each stung about 10 - 15 times each while snorkeling about an hour. We each had red welts that lasted a couple hours and then gradually disappeared. The best way I can describe how it feels is like you’re s...

Re: Scorpion in the bathroom

We were staying at Morgan Point. We also had one several years ago at Dream Come True. The one at Dream Come True was hiding under some clothes on the floor. Moved the clothes and suprise!

Scorpion in the bathroom

This is a short vid of me safely removing a live scorpion from our last trip to St. John. I didn't have the heart to squash him.

Google maps has updated the St. John satellite image

Don't know how long ago, but Google maps has updated the satellite image for St. John. Normally this would be a good thing, but unfortunately there are lots of clouds blocking some key areas of St. John.

place to buy beer and ice in Cruz Bay

Doing a cruise this year and one of the stops is St. Thomas, so you know where we'll be going during that stop. Is there a place in Cruz Bay to buy beer and ice that will be open by 8:30am in January? I used to always buy it at a small grocery store a short walk from Red Hook, but I think I heard it...

Ferry to Jost

Do you have to pay the $25.00 customs fee that the private charter boats charge when taking the ferry to Jost?

Jumper, good choice with Blue Agave. We stayed there for 10 days in June 2010. It has plenty of cover and shade outside with pretty good sunset views. One special note the house has two hot water tanks one in the main house that provides hot water to 3 bedrooms and the kitchen and the other provides...

I've been going to OBX every year since 1995. Can't go wrong with OBX IMO.
You can find tons of fishing charters in OBX. Mellow nightlife bar situation is about as crazy as it gets in an OBX bar, mellow being the key word.

Can't comment on the villa, but we stayed right next door to it in Blue Agave so I can say the view was awesome. Here's a quick video of the view I recorded from Blue Agave. <object><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/p-pY2sTNmk4?version=3&feature=player_detailpage...
