Coming Back after almost 10 years

My wife and I took our honeymoon to this magical place and immediately fell in love with its beauty, serenity and laid back vibe. We vowed on that trip not only to love each other for better or worse but to make it a point to come back at least every four years. We did pretty good with that promise ...

Re: 2018 Roll Call

We are finally going to "share" our magical island with our whole family. Kids, parents and "gasp" the new grand baby. Have not been in a few years but we are so excited to show them why we fell in love with St. John. November 10 2018 @ Casa la Famiglia
