I am having the same problem..Taking my son on a trip for spring break this year and the air fare is sky high!!! The only tips I have come across are check prices on Tuesdays after 3pm eastern...This is when most companies post sales or discounts and try to fly on Tues/Wed or sat. either early am or...

I have not snorkeled on STJ but I can tell you that I did off of Key West 2 years ago and was very disappointed. I must add that I was on a cruise ship and we had snorkeled in Belize 2 days prior which was amazing! I would not go to KW hoping for good snorkeling. Maybe I was just at the wrong place ...

Agree with previous poster. For one night the BW Emerald Beach is a good option if you are flying out of STT. The beach & pool are decent - bed was comfy - basically all oceanfront and it is about a 3 min. cab to the airport. Dinner was delicious and had good service, breakfast left a LOT to be ...

I have loved all of your pics! And I have decided I must have a new 'grown up' camera. My pics are terrible compared to yours. BTW...Did anyone have a fried hot dog at Pussers? We did - they are YUM! Meant to tell you also, We had massages at the spa and B loved hers a lot, mine was merely OK...Like...

Coming or going? How long do you have? VERY close by (about 3 min. by cab but not really walkable) the Best Western Emerald Beach has a bar you can go to and sit almost on the beach near the pool for cocktails. Cab prices and drink prices vary by attitude. Nothing in STT airport really..In May when ...

Hi, I am Libby. I am a virgin-islands-on-line-aholic! Better know as a "newbie" forumite! I check in everyday with this wonderful online support group to keep my heart and my head sane as I approach my virgin trip to St John! What I have learned thus far is this disease is an incurable, p...

Slobbering on my keyboard in anticipation! Great 'get ready' pics!

Just spent all afternoon with kellyanna and talked about the trip non-stop! Pedicures/manicures, tennis and sushi! We can NOT wait to get on that boat!

Go! Guilt is for sissies and one emotion I try to avoid!! My husband flunked vacation 101 years ago and we never go on vacations together anymore unless it is Vegas or a horse racetrack somewhere....Those are the only things he really enjoys (he is a farmer so he hates anywhere hot and I am a beach ...

I will be there with KelleAnna and the gang...7 of us! Can't wait!!

Capn Dan and Ruby wrote:Know the feeling about more trips!!! I was lamenting to CapnDan the other day about how pathetic we are just living from one trip to another.

Not remotely pathetic...It is what keeps me going most of the time! The hunt/anticipation for the next great trip!!

The key is to always be in the planning stage...I spent about two hours today looking at stuff for a next trip....(And I don't even know when it will be)Keeps me from getting the post-vacation blues. And sometimes you just happen to come across a deal that you can't refuse...Here is to always having...

Gonna be sailing with Kellyanna & Sydney this trip! Can't wait to be a newbie no more!! Monday can not get here soon enough! (our fly away day) Have fun at jazz fest and I guess we will see you guys on some beach, somewhere...btw...are Ruth & Ron the 'gold store' owners on STJ??

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I love KC, of course, but I really, really love the ZBB!! Must have been super fun! Great pics! I, too, regret not getting tickets for the show near me a few weeks ago! Kick self, kick self!

Great to read your reports and see all the beautiful pics. They are really making me excited for my turn! This 'newbie' is ready!
BTW....Does my ticker make my face look happy? YES!
