Islander:

Happy 10th!

Thanks for 10 years of great information and a great web site.

The information that I received here helped me decide to buy on STT.

Let's get together next winter, for a Birthday Celebration!

Regards,

F.I.

Happy Birthday! I love VINow! I stumbled across this site while I was surfing the web and now I am addicted! I found it a few months before our planned trip - my daughter had her wedding there on 6/18/09, and this site was so helpful! I even got to meet Sherri, who always has great things to post on here! On the day of my daughter's wedding- she made a special trip to Magens, just to introduce herself, how great was that!!!!! I even won $25.00 from the VInow photo contest that ended about a month ago - again, how great was that!!!
I love this site, but I must admit reading all of these vacay posts make me long to return to STT. Hopefully someday I will be able to return! Who knows maybe my daughter and her new husband will want to return for their 1st anniversary and will invite me too! Oh well, I can wish, right???

🙂 Nancy

Holy Cow!!! Ten years already? Time flies when you're having fun.

I have a little memory story of the new baby VINow site from ten years ago. Islander, I wonder if you remember this:

There was once a great USVI message board on AOL. It had a very active, friendly community, much like this one. Well, one day all the posts asking questions were being answered with links or references to VINow.com. Questions like "Where do the cruise ships dock?" "How much does rum cost?" "Where is nude sunbathing allowed?" were were all answered with "check VINow.com" The truth of the matter is that from the very beginning Islander had put together an amazing informative website about the US Virgin Islands, and the answer to most questions could be found here. The website has only grown and improved with age.

Congratulations on ten years of producing an excellent source of information, communication and community.
