Re: Sad

Interesting that this was posted just when I've been entertaining these same thoughts. We haven't been back on island since 2009 thanks to the way the sluggish economy has affected us, but we're planning to come back next year, so I started checking in here. I used to enjoy this board so much, it's ...

Re: Trip Report: July 13-22 Number 5

Grrrreat report! You really suffered with AA, didn't you? You made us feel your pain, and made me question whether to use them again - but they're dominant at our local airport. Composting toilets. Nuh-uh. Thanks for the beach and restaurant reports, too. We haven't been to STJ in seven years I thin...

Re: Pic's Pics & Report: May & June 2016 - Vol.2

Really enjoyed your wonderfully detailed trip report. Snorkeling then relaxing...that's the way to do St. John. I'm amazed by your knowledge of the creatures of the sea. I've snorkeled only a few times, and things have to be pretty big (or in my face) for me to even see them, much less to appreciate...

Re: 10 more days in paradise, part one

Becky, it's such a pleasure to read your reports - and see your photos. Aurora is on our short list, so I'm eager to read part two and find out more about your stay. And to read more about your take on your dining experiences, because there's no one I trust more to give informed reviews. Glad your t...

I just published my first novel on Kindle

I wanted to let my St. John friends know that I've published my first novel, called TWO AMERICAS, on Kindle. It's here: http://www.amazon.com/Two-Americas-ebook/dp/B008VTLWKO/ The wonders of e-publishing allow me to make it available directly, and that's pretty exciting. Here's a brief description: ...

Great American Things has a new website!

I want to let my St. John friends know about the new GreatAmericanThings.net. I've been posting here from time to time about milestones, and I've appreciated that many of you have visited my blog. Each day I highlight something special about America, and that has included posts about St. John and al...

Just realized that today's post was number 600. If you haven't visited in a while, lots of interesting topics added. Scroll down the front page to December 11, when I updated my original post on St. John. Thanks for letting me enjoy shameless self promotion here every once in a while... http://ameri...

Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions. Jim, I remember your account of Indigo, I think it's what first brought that villa to my attention. And I took notice of Becky's review of Colibri, too. The improved outdoor space got my attention; the only question I need to inquire about is whether the twin ...

My turn for villa help from the experts

Our group of six will be heading back for our fourth trip to STJ probably in early June. We're getting together Friday night to discuss where to stay, and I've selected 6 places to show. My criteria: at least 3 equal bedrooms with all queens or kings, pool, if not new then well maintained, excellent...
