New to this board and looking for any ideas or last minute suggestions. I've read most of everything, so no specific questions. I just can't wait to see St John in person!!! Around 3 weeks to go 🙂

Welcome, Susan!
You are going to love it! Where are you staying? We leave for our trip in 33 days, and can't wait.
You'll most likely get plenty of replies, but IMOP, I have to recommend sunscreen/block, bugspray, "after-bite" itch remedy,and a groovy laid back attitude. Prepare to experience "island time."
Do yourself a favor and pack light, as well.
I'm very excited for you! Keep left!
Smiles-
Jimmy

Not Susan,
but we were in the islands at the same time....Beautiful weather..Thankful Omar moved onward with little to no damage...
I was on St. John only for a daytrip..We went to Trunk for a bit to swim and have some drinks...(the yellowbirds kicked our butt), and then went to Skinny Legs for lunch, did a little sight seeing after that and then on to Cruz Bay for Woody's Happy Hour, and a little shopping..Quiet Mon was closed. They were there tidying up, wiping down pics (Kenny's) to hang back on the wall, etc...I went up and said hello ; ) One day is not enough time on St. John that is for sure, but I had to take what I could get...Will definitely be back, and am trying to swing a week long stay on St. John this time instead of Tortola...although I love it there too...
