not having read what other people have said...my wife and I had a very unscientific discussion about this. Let's say you want to build a big hotel on the property. Where do you ship supplies to? they can't dredge out Maho Bay and, as far as I can tell, Coral Bay can't handle the boats you'd need. So...

The new owners of Coconuts have made significant upgrades. We spent our honeymoon there and will definitely put it on our list for a repeat visit. diverting the topic here...what the heck is wrong with that Coconuts house? It doesn't look like it costs nearly enough for what you appear to get. The ...

We're Wayward Sailor fans. It's not that expensive. It's a small boat (6 people max) and Captain Phil and Tarn do a great job.

It's not fancy but you're snorkeling with someone who really knows his stuff and seems to really love his job.

Plus...I've heard the sandwiches are pretty good ;-)

We always end up buying several bottles whenever we vacation (here in NC or on St John). On the first night, T always concocts the drink of the week. Essentially, it's a little bit of everything topped with some juice. As a result, such drinks exist: The Blue Sky The Sanctuary (A NC drink) The Morga...

I'm curious...did anyone else who won a category NOT get their gifts? I know CA Girl and Sea-Nile got theirs. Anyone else? I'm toeing the line between being amused and annoyed. Not that I "deserve" the prize and will pout if I don't get it. It was a fun thing to do but this is more about t...

I've been twice for work. the commissary is unbelievabnle, but it's out in the burbs and not near Graceland...unless I missed Graceland entirely, something I doubt one can do. The downtown area is very walkable and quite nice. There's a tram that runs through the city that cost like a dollar and tak...

We were there in December, went for a walk and the sunset. While were were pretty "dressed up" for St. John standards it was obvious we were not for Caneel standards and we sure got some looks on our way out as we passed thru the bar/restaurant as the evening festivities had started. Man,...

I'd ship your sanity because, if you ask me, it's quite clear you've misplaced it. Good luck on those flights
