Can anyone remind me of the "cash only" situations that we might come across? This would be for St. John and also Jost Van Dyke (Day trip on Kekoa). We, of course, plan to use cash for: Taxi and tip on STT. Can't remember about the ferrys at Red Hook and Cruz Bay. Also, I remember that Sam...

I'll bite.... I'd say ZoZo's change of location from Gallows Point to Caneel has been a "good" change. Bar dining at Gallows was neat. But, we MUCH prefer the romantic ambiance of the open air dining along the rail at Caneel in the old "Equator" restaurant location. Just seeing a...

Yay...congrats!!! Nothing like a ticker that is ticking down to paradise!!!

Thank you all for the great suggestions....
(I'm just posting to see my ticker...LOL)

Happy Birthday and have an amazing trip! If you are over in Coral Bay at a time when Indigo Grill is open, stop by for pizza. It is great! Know that you all will have an amazing time!!
I'll be celebrating my birthday a couple of weeks after you. Just booked Zozos yesterday....
Have fun!!!

We are using Rachel, as well in a few weeks. I knew that she charged $50 for two, including luggage. But, I was "assuming" that we should also plan to "add a tip", as well. Again, not sure about the protocol or custom, as this is the first time that we will be using her services....

Where is the best place to buy fresh produce - like Cantaloupe, Pineapple, bananas, grapes, apples? The produce at Starfish Market NEVER look appealing. We will be staying on Ajax Peak, so places in either Cruz Bay or Coral Bay will work for us.
Thanks!

Another island for thought might be Anguilla. We stayed on Shoal Bay at a wonderful place called Shoal Bay Villas. Basically condo units right at the beach's edge. Softest sand ever and no getting in and out of a jeep or lugging chairs. We were able to go on a couple of boat excursions to get some s...

Have a wonderful trip, jmq. We don't arrive til 4/27, so we will miss you. Would have loved to have met you and your family. Can't believe how the years have flown by. Your little girl has turned into a young woman right before our eyes! Enjoy!!

Congrats to you all!! Chicagoans & 54b, the next best thing to securing airfare and a villa is updating your ticker!! LOL!!! We are on our less than a month countdown..!!! Can't wait. So true how quickly our dispositions change once we have secured plans for another trip to St. John!! We are all...

Barb, Congrats on making your choice... Funny, how we often say that we want to try something "new" - but, often find our comfort zone and heart in the places where we have stayed before... We are returning for our third stay in the same villa. Like you, tried really hard this year to try ...

Becky, As always, LOVE your photos! That first photo of the Parrotfish was amazing! Love the swirl/tilt of its tail. As if it were "posing" for you! We have never seen an octopus...so fingers crossed for this upcoming trip....37 days, but, who's counting! So happy to have run into you and ...

Correction: Our bartender at Smuggler's Cove on Tortola was "Steve" not "Dave".... Just read my 2007 trip report. Must give proper credit where credit is due.... Particularly when it comes to Island Drinks!!

Thanks for the tip on Gertrude's. We will be going to Jost and I heard that Jewel has moved off of White Bay. So, we will be happy to have someplace else to go. Funny, I LOVED the Painkiller at Soggy Dollar Bar the FIRST time that we ever went there. But, the second time wasn't so hot. I always reme...

Searching for where we might find the Best BBC (Baileys, Banana & Coconut) drink! We used to be able to get an amazing one from Morgan's Mango. But, they stopped using FRESH BANANAS and instead used a banana rum or flavoring. So - looking for REAL bananas and not fake flavoring... Been too long ...
