Hi Lindy, was there this past May. We shipped almost all the food/sunscreen/bug spray,foil,paper goods,garbage bags/dry pancake & potatoe mixes,condiments(in the pkgs get from fast food places),shampoos,soaps etc that we could. Used 3 large boxes from the PO,ones you pay one price no matter the ...

forgot, see the owners are NYers, and org. came from the south shore of LI, where we are. As we both know, city firefighters & Emts have a very hard job and are to be admired.

Edsfam & anyone else interested,- Amy & I have booked a 10 day stay at Villa Jumbie next year. I contacted the villa manager and asked her about the laundry situation, and was told that they have changed their policy and the facilities will be available for weekly rentals as well. Just thou...

God be with all of you on STJ and all the other islands that will be affected.

That poor dock doesn't stand a chance !!

crdicken- we went to the Lutheran Church in Cruz Bay and the Emmaus (spelling)Morovian Church in Coral Bay. Of the 2, the Morovian Church was the most welcoming & friendliest, the Lutheran one,the Pastor didn't even welcome us and it was obvious we were visitors. BTW we're Lutherans so prob. exp...

Hi Minde, Glad you were ok, those things are nasty.. Lived in NC for yrs and had one go thru our development on the one side of street. It stripped the paint off our car & took the shed, but thankfully house was ok. How big is the Amish community up there? And where is it? Knew there was one in ...

Am a newbie and did our 1st trip to STJ back in May. As with all forums,VIOL, cruise ones, TA etc, I read,make notes and get some really great advice & some "eh" advice. I mix it up and make our decisions based on experienced travellers views and what we like & are looking for. The...

My DH is battling cancer and I'd like to share a message from his Caring Bridge guest book; it is also engraved on a dog-tag style necklace, given to him by a friend. He wears it for inspiration: "What cancer cannot do... it cannot invade the soul, suppress memories, kill friendship, destroy p...

To Mike and his family,

God's peace be with you in this time of sorrow. I pray that you will be comforted by each other and by Jesus.

Wow! Mailed our USPS Priority Mail boxes to Connections last Thursday and they arrived this morning. We don't pick them up until the 28th! Wonder how much we'll have to pay for Connections to hold them 10 days. I guess it depends on the size and amount of time. Anyone know?? we used the Coral Bay o...

My heartfelt prayers go out to that poor family. What a horrible loss of life. May God give them comfort & strength in this time. Rachel had told us that STT was getting bad, that she won't pick up passengers w/o prior reservations, or if they are just all males from the island. Nor will she dri...

Think you can get a St John map once on the island at either the ferry booth or info booth right by St John Ruths store. It's a good one and we used ours the whole time.

Have a good time and enjoy.

Hi Minde, Better check w/us 1st cause we're staying w/Ms Vie too. :D Really enjoyed the whole day there, her beach is wonderful, and when I think about her food, I want to jump on the next plane to go get some. Glad your music fest is done,but sorry that you got so involved now that it's more of a c...

Hello all, So sorry, didn't mean to stir up anything here or critisize anyone. Not my intention at anytime. I was just saying (& as previously stated) that it can be quite a put off when it's repeatedly mentioned here to greet island people correctly so not to offend them, only to have them not ...

I too come from an area that is supposedly known for it's "rudeness" - NYC so don't expect or want alot of kow-towing when go places. Just plain niceness is all we ask. The only other island we have found to be less than friendly was Grenada,that island is one can truly say will never go ...
