Jen - Good question! I meant the Cloud 9 sailing charter. He does daysails from St. John to JVD. Thanks.

Thanks for the input everyone. Does anyone have experience with Cloud 9?

Thanks all... TomB - I second TomB's thoughts about Cafe Amici. It's a great spot for lunch while waiting for the Charlotte Amalie ferry to St. ...

Thanks Sherri. Banana Tree Grille sounds like a keeper. I love Herve's and Agave, but needed a third dinner spot for an upcoming 3 night stay on St....

I haven't been to either Banana Tree Grille or Room with a View as yet, but it looks like they're both located at Bluebeard's Castle. Do I understand...

BB - You're a man after my own heart. I used to bring home multiple bottles of basic Cruzan rum from my VI trips, but now I just pick up one bottle o...

Thanks for the tips everyone... I had actually booked a trip to JVD on Survivan on my last visit to St. John, but the trip was cancelled when a t...

Hopefully I don't bump into Whitey Bulger at Salt Pond beach...

ccasebolt - I saw the Thursday show at the Tweeter Center. There were torrential rains, so the folks in the lawn seats were absolutely drenched! But...

I was at Fenway for that Schilling game against the A's. Kenny Chesney threw out the first pitch. The Boston-St. John connections are endless...

I'm glad you survived the Logan Airport gauntlet. I'm always a bit paranoid about seeing my plane fly overhead while I'm stuck in the middle of gridl...

Cold sad dwelling? It may be Massachusetts, but it's not that bad...

IMHO Sweet Plantains is the most underrated restaurant on St. John. I heard very little about it before my trip last month, and it looks pretty nond...

You may want to try Buffett's "A Salty Piece of Land." I enjoyed it, but I'm also a bit biased. 🙂

I remember reading that the Francis Bay trail is an excellent spot for bird watching. I haven't walked it, so I don't know for sure. Good luck!

I've tried 4WD and non-4WD vehicles on St. John. I think 4WD is a must - especially in rainy conditions. It's alot more fun too!

The problem is that the number of Heinekens imbibed at a jewelry store is directly proportional to the amounf of money spent. Not a bad marketing plo...

A long term rental sure sounds good... but probably won't be happening any time soon. I'll get in touch when next we're planning a trip to St. Thoma...
