BIG book recommendation!!!
Hey all! Highly recommend the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 7DGE"><b>A Trip to the Beach</b></a> by Mel and Robert Blanchard. Although the story takes place on Anguilla it's a great way to spend time WAITing for a trip to the VIs. It reads almost like a long trip report

I read it a couple of years ago...have been dying to go ever since then. I did however manage to get my brother there for his honeymoon last June. They completely loved it. I'll know I'll get there someday...our daughter goes with us on the big trips and she loves STT/STJ so it'll be a while I think.
Hoping for a USVI ticker in 2013!
Yeah, I really like that book too. I left our tattered copy behind at Tarn last trip.
The recipe for the banana cabana drink is yummy! I have their cookbook on my amazon list also.
Another book in that vein you might like is "An Embarrasment of Mangoes." It's about a couple that sails from Canada to the Caribbean and back over about 2 years. They make a stop in St. John off Waterlemon Cay and have some freshly caught tuna for supper on their boat.

It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.

I am reading that one right now Liams Aunt! I haven't gotten to the St. John part yet though. It is an enjoyable book and made me cancel my dream of sailing south due to their struggles and experiences. I'll just have to convince my husband to buy a condo when the STJ real estate market slows down (ALOT!).
