Re: 2018 Roll Call

April 14-20. One night in Cruz Bay and the rest in Coral Bay. Our first time trying the quiet side.

Sorry to hear about De Life but glad you’ve got your next boat in the works already!

Re: HIGH SEASON DREAMING

Beware the New England Spring Break week ... Usually starting on or right after April 15. I am tied to this week and can say it is busy and has only gotten busier. Last year, we had problems parking at most beaches, finding nice shady spots to sit, loud fellow beach goers, etc... Most people outside...

Re: 50th group vacation...

We just returned from a family reunion at the Hyatt Regency in Aruba. It has all the things your group requires. All the restaurants and the hotel had no problem accommodating our group which ranged from 14-20 people in size. It is a polar opposite experience from St John but that's what also made i...

Re: AirFares??

I am routinely jealous of any airfares in the $500 range. I've checked airfares for vacation week the day they are released and round trip works out to well over $1k per ticket. I wonder who pays that too! I use miles to supplement otherwise I can't go. Oh well, at least being tied to vacation week ...

Where is everyone?

Northern Gal:
On Trip Advisor, navigate first to St John overview. From there you should see an option to select the Forum as you would Hotels, Restaurants, Activities, etc.
This is true either for the app or full web site. Go to the location first and then you will see the link to the forum.

Re: Where is everyone?

I see more activity on the Trip Advisor forum but still check in on this one fairly regularly. I also look at travel talk online for the BVI forum. Are there other forums for the BVI?

Re: Ticker Check!

Can't see tickers on mobile (?) but I'm 192 days out. It's a long time but better than having no return trip at all!

Re: Arrival rituals

Ritual? With only 2 trips under our belt so far, I can only ASPIRE to ritual! :)

That being said, I think the only constant on arrival day for us is ,and hopefully will continue to be, happy hour at the Beach Bar.

Re: Hotel on STT

+1 for Emerald Beach. It's also an easy walk to the airport with a rolling carry on.

Re: Sunshine's Jeep Rental

We used Sunshine for our rental this past April and I can highly recommend them. They were very proactive about arrangements for pick up and drop off. They were there as promised on both ends. They are located across the street just slightly uphill from The Dolphin - very convenient to Cruz Bay. The...
