Re: Atlantic Seafood

We had a very delayed flight one trip and spent some time at Atlantic Seafood- I had the salmon and it was one of the best meals in a long time. Yum! Haven't had a delayed flight since..... :(

Re: Grande Bay parking ???

Hi Sherry, You will be able to park a four door vehicle at Grande Bay. Some spaces are a little more tight than others, just use your mirrors and take your time. Many people park four door jeeps in the lot and even back into their spaces - I'm not that talented. It may be helpful to have one person ...

Re: Scorpion in the bathroom

My son was stung by a scorpion at Maho a few years back. He was playing in the water with a large palm frond he found on the beach. Ouch! That was the same trip he was bitten by a dog and he also ended up with a nasty rash from something else. That was the summer he became "Island Tough"!

Re: BeGold Rentals? Chocolate Hole villa

I tried to load their website and kept getting kicked out for some reason. If anyone sees anything listed at Grande Bay, please let me know!! I hate scammers - just dealt with one trying to get my 17 year old son to cash a check for close to $4000 he didn't earn. My son was so excited.... If it's to...

Re: Recent changes bring new questions

I have done the 8:30 flight in the past and despite the ferry being late and then one engine failing as we approached Red Hook, I still made it to the airport fine in a regular van taxi!

I wouldn't worry too much about the flight, it's just no fun to have to leave so early!

Excellent report! I've never sailed and fear seasickness, but this makes it so much more tempting. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your adventures.

Re: Updated list of ACC Fundraiser Raffle & Auction Items

Augie,

For the Silent Auction, is the value listed and then the current high bid? If so, there are some excellent deals at the moment!

Thanks for all you and Leslie do for the ACC.

Re: Sad, Unexpected News and Leaving Board

Dear Elisa, I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother. I lost my own mom this time of year when I was much younger and the memories are still with me but the loss still remains too. Words cannot do justice to what you are going through, but I pray that you and your family find peace in knowing ...

Re: Beach Bar Nov. 3rd

Also on November 3rd, the group of wounded veterans from Team River Runner will be arriving at the National Park Service dock around 5:30-6:00ish. It would be great to have a group there to greet them as they arrive on island! I'm hoping to make it along with my small American flag. Here is a link t...

Re: Ever had a flat tire on STJ?

I had a flat on our last trip and it was totally my fault - hit the sidewall of the curb in our parking space at Grande Bay. It wasn't a hole, but a slice cut into the tire. We replaced it ourselves with the brand new spare and called our rental company, Amalie. Due to it being my fault, we were cha...

Re: Shut off the water, please

What a mess - I really hope and pray that the rains have subsided. Now comes a large mess to clean up. I had heard earlier reports of 500 people unaccounted for, then the shooting in DC took place so news coverage shifted. Hoping those people were just unable to be reached and are actually okay. My ...
