Agree, it is crazy, did it once or twice, now it is Sunday or during the week. You will need more time to check in 3-4 hr before, if you can eat outside the airport, the only place in the airport is jammed and limited.

the choice

We have stayed on both Jost and Tortola. Both are gorgeous, but for just a day trip, go to Jost. The ferry lands in Great Harbor, but the real jewel, which will take your breath away is White Bay Beach. Tortola is way too big to go to for just a day, but if you decide to, Smuggler's Cove is the tick...

If ur first time on SJ, stay there! We have stayed at almost all US and British, and it is a new adventure every time, new lanscape, new people. Off to Virgin Gorda this time. Tortola is great, but St. John is gorgeous!!!

We did a week long charter last year. We had us and another couple. Depends on the boat you rent, it is very expensive, confining, but one of those experiences you can't get anywhere else. We are staying on Virgin Gorda this year......if you have many questions e-mail me...jillaarendt@aol.com

Trip insurance

I always use travel insurance quote.com, they will break down the different companies, and prices.... Also it is by amount spent anyways......you put in the cash value of your trip and that is what you will be reimbursed for anyways.....
