This is great! Everyone seems to have very similar lists, and I love the quote of the year, I'm sure that will sum up my trip quite nicely. I'm hoping to hike a bit each morning and then collapse on a beach each afternoon, with some snorkeling mixed in. Is there any way to know which days the cruise...

Any recommendations for a newbie on the best beaches for the first time? I'd like to go to a different beach each day, and it seems I would need several weeks to see all of the good ones! A condensed list of 6-7 best choices would be great. I'm hoping to snorkel and minimize seeing the scary stuff (...

I just managed to get a jeep the other day for jan. 17-24, and I'm turning it in on the 24th, so if it's available, you might try Spencers Jeep Rental. I have no idea what this rental co. is like, but since it seemed to be the last jeep for january, I took it! Good luck

I'll be there January 20th!

Great story, nothing like the island flavor sometimes. Thank you for the link and info, I think I'm set now. Just have to shop and pack and then relax! I'll jump back here with any last minute panic questions, but can't imagine anything not covered. I'll try and email some pics while I'm there, or a...

Perfect, Thanks Ksea. So it sounds like I can just grab a ferry to Jost on impulse and not worry about booking ahead (?). Sounds beautiful, I hope it snows a mountain while I'm gone! Is there any similarly priced ferry to Virgin Gorda? I may only do a couple of these ideas, but it is always nice to ...

Thanks! I've got the books ordered, the jeep is set though unfortunately not a soft top, and I've got an email to the NPS to see about some hikes. I usually like to just go with the flow and not plan too much, but don't want to feel left without options this time of year. The charter I'm not sure ab...

Hey all, I was just about to try and do a last minute guide book order, am considering the "Off the beaten track" and "feet,fins, four wheel drive". Are those my likely best bets? Also, are there any activities that must be booked before arriving? I'm considering a guided hike, r...

Not followed, but they are common to see in alot of places. We used to have one that hung around outside of the office. Naturally, former employee jokes insued, and who knows, maybe those waddles did belong to former staff!

Thank you all for the wonderful ideas, and discovering the ability to search topics. I came across one that could easily sum up:
My "must do next trip" list is a mile long. Then, I get there, get drunk, and forget all about it. Oh well.

Hello All,
I'm a fairly seasoned island traveler, but this january 17-24 will be my first to STJ. Any suggestions on any must do and go places? I'm up for a little of everything the island has to offer...
Thanks in advance!

Hi, can anyone tell me anything about Hummingbird Villas? I believe they are in Frank Bay area. I purchased at charity auction, sight unseen, so I'm hoping and assuming this will be a nice place to stay in January '08.
Thanks for any input!
