Hello markmcb, congratulations on the trip, you're going to love St. John. As for beer, the Quiet Mon Pub has Newcastle on tap, they just installed the tap when I was there in November and December. The Taproom in Mongoose Junction has several local brews on tap, I particularly like the India Pale A...

Hi everybody, I love this thread. A while back I remember finding a drink on the forum that was supposed to taste like Juicy Fruit gum. I seem to recall it was made of four different flavored rums in equal parts but I can't remember which ones. I think it was banana, coconut, vanilla and citrus or m...

I'll see you there Gromit, you know where to find me.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. On my trips in 2005, 2006, and 2007 I flew out on Thanksgiving Day which was rather quiet. That might explain why I got such a better deal those years. I like to book my accommodations first and worry about airfare later, I know some people prefer the opposite but...

Here's a couple good mango drinks I've stumbled upon, maybe the stumbling came AFTER a few of these: Mango Daiquiri 1/2 cup mango juice or nectar 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon lemon juice 2 tablespoons triple sec 1 shot light or dark rum Whip it up in a blender or serve on the rocks. Or if te...

Hi everybody, I'm headed back to St. John Nov. 24-Dec. 17 and am shopping for airfare. On my previous four trips I paid an average of $500 from Minneapolis on Delta, American, and US Airways. Right now, the best I can find is $700 on US Airways and I'm thinking of taking it. I know there are some fe...

Hi everybody, I have a cocktail related question. I seem to recall that Woody's website used to have some of their drink recipes on it but they don't appear to anymore. Does anyone have these recipes, specifically their margarita recipe? Many thanks.

Ruth, I didn't know you were a Crows fan, I picked up the new disc the day it came out, it has a somewhat harder sound than some of their earlier work but I guess that's supposed to be the theme of the album.

I'll be there, Hi Jan and Mike!

Hi everybody, I'm headed back to St. John on Thanksgiving and need some advice on a few things: Does anyone know of a charter that focuses more on sailing than snorkeling? I'll be by myself so I'd need to share a boat with someone if possible. I'd like to go somewhere out of the way like Sandy Spit,...

Jan, I can't think of a better place to meet than the Beach Bar, think of it as a rehearsal for the big party on the 9th.

Flip-flop, I must be crazier than you because I'm coming down Thanksgiving Day.

It's all you need.

Hey Gromit, long time lurker here, I'll be on island during that time frame, I've met Jan&MikeVA a couple of times including last year. Who else is up for the Beach Bar? I know you're out there.

A couple of questions for those substituting coconut rum for cream of coconut in a painkiller. Do you use exactly as much coconut rum as coconut cream? Then do you add the dark rum as well? Thanks.
