travel blog entries from a St. John lover
We love St. John and usually visit every year, but we have been out exploring other areas as well. Thanks to inspiration from Vicki H I finally started a travel blog and have covered a couple of new destinations, including Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas and Isla Holbox (swimming with whale sharks) ...

Re: Happy Spring.. we got a foot of snow last night!
We definitely feel your pain - we live in northern Michigan and we have had 260" of snow this season with record low temps. The upside is that we had great skiing and if anyone saw the 'Leelanau Ice Caves' on the news, that is where we live so we had the extraordinary experience of seeing that....

Re: New Villa Search
mahojim, I think it was you that posted pictures from Villa Jumbie awhile back with photos of the 'interesting characters', aka donkeys and goats, that were roaming out front on the ball field. I had to laugh when I saw that one! I always kept Villa Jumbie in mind after that and lo and behold we jus...

Re: Good March 2014 airfare on AA
We had also expected airfares around $650-750 for our trip in late March but I got lucky and had a farewatcher from Detroit - STT starting March 30. Snagged airfare for us and our daughters for $484 RT. Didn't think twice and booked it. Haven't been back since last summer so we are very excited.

Re: St. John in July
We go for Carnival every year and have had great weather for the most part--like an earlier post said, the ferry dock area where Festival Village is set up is a bustling place during Festival week, and there is a fantastic parade on the 4th of July with amazing fireworks out over Cruz Bay. The rest ...

where can I buy a ceramic villa sign?
Hi--I love the colorful ceramic tile signs that we see on so many of the villas on St. John. We just bought our first little vacation home and I would love to have one of these signs at the entrance to remind me of STJ. I have found similar ones online but can't find anything like the ones I see all...

Re: New post on our building blog
Pia, I had no idea what you meant by a 'red pool' but it is actually really striking! I agree that it looks more Asian, maybe something you'd find in Bali. That dark pool is gorgeous. We've actually seen the 'truck pool' in the parking lot of a Jimmy Buffett concert, lol! The platform under the hous...

We just returned from a stay at Cruz Views #3 and loved it - they have done a wonderful job with the unit--the kitchen is redone, the living room furniture is new and it has a beautiful large garden shower that I absolutely love. The upstairs bedroom is straight up a ladder so if anyone is mobility ...

Exit Zero, thanks for the great insight and you are so right...paying it forward is what keeps it all good! Ironically we have a nice center for the arts here in our town in Michigan and we are trying to connect with them to see if we might get the Quadrille group up here for a visit. Many of the fo...
