Your photos are just amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to put a trip report together and share.

Having the lightest snow year I can EVER remember.
Feeling bad for you folks that are getting dumped on tho .... it's our usual winter scene. Dreaming of VI EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!
No trip in sight, so PLEASE be generous with your photos. It keeps us crazies somewhat sane.

Well, dammit! I guess I'm just a tasty "0" and can't do anything about those blood sucking monsters. I was the only one, of our group of 6, to suffer significant harassment from those dirty birds while on the island. Suffer I did, as I still have scars after 4 months. I am relieved to know...

I really enjoyed your trip report. Thank you for taking the time for such detail. So nice that your friend could just hang at the villa and you all still had a great vacation. You are obviously compatible travel partners. Thanks.

We enjoyed a trip with Stormy Petrel last month. I cannot imagine being on a trip with more stops than this one had, as it was still a pretty intense day . We had originally considered Bad Kitty, and I am so glad we downsized. :) We did not go to JVD/Soggy Dollar, but instead opted for the snorkel t...

I wouldn't risk it. We booked US Air, with a 54 minute connection time on our return trip. By the time they got through their 'rescheduling' our flight, we had a 34 minute connection. THEN then plane was late getting into the gate, so we were late getting out of the gate, and consequently lost anoth...

Ouch!!! That's wild. I feel pretty good about what we paid now. :D I did find a one way, on Delta, for our dates in March, after I had already booked. $11,340.00 No joke as well, but they didn't last long and rates were back to normal in a couple of days. Keep trying, and I hope you find some great ...

Oh, the anticipation ..... can hardly wait. Yes, I can imagine just what you are describing, but to actually FEEL it .... well, I am just oh, so ready.

Thanks! Now I actually know where we will be staying for sure. That's a GREAT map.

So excited to see what all of you people have been talking about.
Soon, very, very soon.

That Spice Cam is a killer. As a newbie, I can only say that it is a terrible/wonderful addiction.
One month will fly by. Soon we will be watching you walk the planks to paradise.
The anticipation is crazy fun. Have a wonderful trip.

Thank you watergirl. Now we have three great choices. Gladys' has a lot of fans it looks like, and is easy to get to. I'm glad we will have a few days at the end of our visit to explore these other options. We love to walk, and it is nice to know what is walkable and what we will need a ride to get ...

Nice ticker bigred. Only a few more days to bundle up before heading out.
Have a wonderful trip.

Thank you both for your suggestions! It's nice to have tried and true options. It looks like Bella Blu opens at 10, which may leave us a bit pressed for time if it is a packed house, on island time. That New Orleans omelet is calling my name, though, so we'll have to make it a point to visit at the ...

We will be delivering one of our party to the airport on a Saturday morning. Staying on St. John and arriving on the 9:30 Charlotte Amalie ferry. Using the 3 hours pre-flight rule will give us about 1 1/2 hours to find a great going away breakfast before making our way to the airport. If it were you...

This makes me happy .... excited to stop in and give it a try.
