La Plancha Del Mar!!

jmq...I only used plain suave lotion but it still had a scent though i guess. one of the ladies stopped using lotion completely and think that helped. live and learn for next time!

Donna...I couldn't believe it about the showers but it worked out so we never got caught showering..or so I think!

One last note about the villa...two of the six outdoor showers are not private. Ours was visible from one end of the pool so we tried to shower early in the morning or after everyone was out. And the 2nd main house room shower could be seen from the walkway to the master and one of the downstairs ro...

Thank you all

Eagleraylover...one of the locals told us the manta was still around but I am guessing he just didn't want to disappoint us! But you never know...

Donna...I love that suit and wish I could find one in my size too! And my daughter will never forget eating pancakes in the pool

Thank you! My parents have a townhouse in Ocean City. Small world!

I should have edited my TR before I posted it (and I would do so now but it's too late) to mention that I learned after the fact that touching turtles is not allowed and that I now know for next time.

I guess you didn't read my response on TA which said I would never intentionally cause harm to a living creature. I also thanked Laimasaunt for telling me this when I mentioned it in a post. And I wasn't asking for proof I just wanted more information about it.

Stop in at the Catherineberg ruins you mean? If so yes, kids liked that. Our daughter is 7. Or is there something else I missed?

haha Jumbiegirl...I do recall there being one other party on the Jumbie that day water was a little rough there and the beach a little small for us. funny about the bugs and weather! though like I said some people in our group didn't have one bite so it may just have been me!

Thanks Colleen! I have already started planning for nxt year to combat the post vacation blues! We are thinking either Virgin Gorda (never been except dfor a day trip), Anguilla (spent a week there in 2004 and loved it) or maybe Eleuthera or Staniel Cay.

I've been scolded once already for this so I am fully aware now but thanks for letting me know! To clarify, fingertips brushed, that's it. I am curious though to read more about this as at the turtle farm in Cayman you are allowed to touch and hold the sea turtles. Can you provide a link to further ...

Another St. John vacation come and gone. This was our third and the kids' first trip. We visited many favorites, tried some new things and still haven't done everything I want yet. We traveled from June 16 - 23 with a three other families for a total of 15 in our group. 8 adults, 2 teens and 5 kids ...

I can!!

Thanks Pia!

If we want to see the ruins(and views) and snorkel at waterlemon...we can park at the ruins correct? then there is a (marked) trail which leads down to the beach at Leinster Bay? How long of a hike is this?

Thanks
