Since I haven't actually done a bare boat vacation yet, I can only speak from my sailing lessons experience out of STT in December. I was on the boat with my husband, our captain/teacher and 2 other men that we didn't know that were also signed up for lessons. Maybe because we were all there to lear...

What, coming home already. Whatever will we all do next week without your great posts. Sounds like you've had a great time; enjoy every last second that you have!

Rick, Congratulations on your certification and have a great on-the-water vacation!! Christine, do not be nervous, you will love it!!!! I love Diamond Key in Jost. Good snorkel, Foxy's taboo, great view of Sandy Cay...so many great spots, so little time. Have fun!!! Ali~

Colleen, great trip report and pics. So glad that you and your family had such a great vacation (we did too)! So nice to have finally met you.....until next time Ali~

"Aloha" Mr. Benjamin, RIP. Truly a remarkable man that will undoubtedly be missed by many. Condolences to his family and friends and to the island for such a huge loss! Ali~

Agreed; last few trips have been on AA through Miami and I have no complaints. As mentioned, do check your AA flights because they do change their times just slightly fairly often. Save the $$ and go for it!!! Ali~

Agreed, definitely after the sailing trip.Just to provide another option, we've stayed at Sebastians in Tortola for the night before if our boat's not available for the sleep aboard. Ali~

I think I had to provide a copy of my drivers license to my car insurance company. Maybe your agent will have a copy of your drivers license on file. Or, any loan applications done recently, that also would have generated a copy of your drivers license. Did you have to give a copy of your drivers li...

Janet, Karin and I stayed in one of the unit's (at Ruth's recommendation), I believe Dophina, before this past SOTB trip. I really liked it and didn't think the walk was a big deal. So, just past gallows, down the hill, take a left and about half way down the street. I can't comment on the pool, as ...

Wow, sooo lucky to see that! Has the weather been good this week? I have friends staying at the Westin for a belated honeymoon. Can't wait to see your pics! Ali~

Another happy jeep owner here. Great idea!! I have a caribbean scene on my tire cover done by a local sign shop. I also have various STJ stickers around that and on the back side windows. Love my jeep and the whole tacky-sticker look! Enjoy the ride!!! Ali~

Hey EagleRayLover, that poster is another Be As You Are poster. I'll be there in April and July. The April trip includes 3 of the SOTB ladies and the July trip includes 2 of the SOTB ladies, with husbands and some kids. Everyone seemed to have different vacation plans this year (Hawaii, Paris, Virgi...

Wow, good info on the Avistar. JFK does offer some good flight prices and even more importantly, direct, so I've done that departure several times. We usually just do long term parking and then take the airbus to our American Airlines terminal (I believe its AA Terminal 8). Easy to navigate to your ...
