Tip: I would not bring large bills. You may find some places will not be able to give you change. I know for sure the taxi & ferries.

Well, at least you have a sense of humor about it, Pia!

I was told many years ago by an old time St. John resident- that you know it is time to move back to the states- when you loose your sense of humor!

...also glad to see you have a sense of humor Pia! :D

MLS is right...

Years ago a long power outage was normal. STJ had a generator affectionately named "The Green Hornet" There was one man on island that could start it up.
If he was off island everyone was SOL!
