We are planning on doing carry-on luggage only, so we figured that 5 PM at the airport was good. I do remember that there was a place to put luggage for safe-keeping at the ferry dock in CA, but I thought it was only for people who would be leaving on the next ferry. So is this the same place as the...

McPenguin5 - My son's friends used to call him "Penguin" when he was in grade school. It became a nickname, and I even went so far as to embroider a huge penguin on the leg of a pair of his jeans when he was in high school. I kind of took to the whole thing, and when he outgrew the nickna...

Compass Point Restaurant and Bar.

I was wondering if anyone has eatten at the Compass Rose Restaurant. It looks interesting, and I thought that our grandson might like the Miniature Golf there. We will be on St. John during Thanksgiving Week, and are starting to plan things to do and places to go. Any reviews out there?
