Oh, man, I've missed this page....and St. John! Looking forward to your trip report! It will have to tide me over until we return.

Okay - first the food comments. Caneel's conch fritters. They look much smaller than most we've had on island. Are they yummy? We love the ones at Banana Deck and Aqua Bistro, if that helps. We still have YET to visit Miss Lucy's, but MAN! Your pictures make me wanna go for SURE this trip!!! Conch f...

Wanted to see this. . .7 days!

This time next week, we will probably be sleeping from our travel day, resting up for our first BEACH day of the trip!

Fingers crossed it's not, because I've been dreaming about those lobster rolls for quite some time now! See y'all soon, ladies! XO

A trip report by Liamsaunt!!!!! Woohoo!!! (I think I start all of my replies for your TR's that way....but it's true! :D ) We stayed at Klein Bay our FIRST time on island. Really enjoyed the location and view, too. This year, we are staying at Skytop - a first. Have yet to snorkel Klein Bay. Maybe t...

GREAT recs, y'all! Keep 'em coming! (We go out a TON on St. John - I don't cook at home, so I'm DEFINITELY not cooking on vacation! ) Thanks!

Okay....so now I'm thinking about a day trip to Jost on Kekoa on August 5.

We have NEVER been to the BVI's...I'm thinking this is a good way to go.

I've searched this forum for "Kekoa" - and it's all good.

Any other advice / recommendations on either Kekoa or Jost?

Bumping this one because I think I've narrowed down our BVI options to Bad Kitty and New Horizons. Any other recent thoughts on either charter? There are ONLY two (2) of us right now (unless Silverheels and Sister and Awardb and Sylvia want to join :D :wink: )...I'm saying that because with just 2, ...

We will be on island for my birthday (August 3). We've been to pretty much all of the "nicer" restaurants - La Tapa; Zozo's; Asolare; etc. and we love them all. Thinking of trying something new and different this year, though - Ted's Supper Club, maybe....thoughts on that, or any other rec...

Ahem.

I just savored your trip report! They are always MAGICAL. I feel like I'm snorkeling right there along with you, like others have said. I enjoy looking at the sea life, but I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as you, so thank you for labeling everything! I haven't even heard of a lot of those creatures!...

22 trips?! Wow! That is an accomplishment. We're on our way there - but we've got some years to go!

Beaufort is beautiful. At least you have somewhere nice to stay between your trips to STJ!

Gorgeous pictures! We weren't able to go last year (we had been annual visitors for 6 years until then - our first trip was 2009 on our honeymoon) because we had our son. Well, this year, we are heading back for year 7 with our son and my mom in tow. And I know you're so right - being gone for longe...

Glad to hear Amanda is still at Rhumblines...she's one of our favorite bartenders, at one of our favorite restaurants! (I'm assuming that's her. . . :wink: ) We also love Sam & Jack's. The one with the shrimp - DELISH! La Tapa was excellent last visit. . .hope they aren't slipping. And we haven'...

Thanks, Liamsaunt! What a great tribute!
