Just thought that I would share what's happening with our frequent flyer flights. I booked May 07 flights for my husband and I way back in August. Buffalo through Dulles to STT, leaving Sun May 6 and returning Thurs May 17 on United. Well I decided to check the status yesterday since they have chang...

It's not just you. We're in the same boat and the guilt eats away at me every time I think about it. But the siren call of St John is just too hard to resist!

How about Paloma Blanca? Fantastic views, pool & hot-tub, three bedrooms and 10 minutes to Cruz Bay. You don't say when you are going, but the villa is available in May at your price.

I think the pin is a great idea!

I know what you're feeling. Our kids are 20 & 21. The 20 YO is fine but the 21 YO likes to party. We always repeat the "rules" before we leave, but the worry is still there. Could you talk with them before you go and tell them that your worries are going to ruin your trip (laying a lit...

Hi We have also tried to "phone home" to Canada and have had some difficulty. When we were in St John last year I used my cell phone which worked as I am on a North American calling plan. In prior years the villa we stayed at blocked any long distance calls so the calling card we had would...

I'm sorry to hear about your rude guests. Some people are just plain ignorant and completely oblivious of their actions. I once had a co-worker that felt it was expected of hotel guests that they steal the towels, so she did! It certainly takes all kinds. When we leave a villa, we try to leave it li...

Bluwater, I'm loving your report. I hope you will tell us about some of the non-touristy things that you may have done, as you have talked about on VINOW.

It is an addiction - if I can't be on St John, I have to read the forum! Only on my lunch hour though.

Hmmm, looks like a mix of opinions. Just like my mixed feelings!

Virgina-Gal, I hope that you get the chance to reconnect with your son. I also have a 21 year old son and I think I understand exactly what you mean. Good luck!

Yes, we have talked alot and I think that we would be OK. They are interested, but the husband wants to do another trip first. The wife on the other hand told me that decision wasn't final (I think that she would prefer to come with us). We're struggling with trying to persuade them as opposed to fo...

deciding whether or not to invite anyone else along on a trip to St John? My husband and I have been to St John 4 times, with our fifth trip booked for next May. We have been by ourselves for all but one trip when we brought our three kids and my mother along. This next trip we kind of want to bring...

Trying it out.

I'd vote for that!
