The one place on St. John I absolutely remember needing 4WD was on the unpaved road to Lameshur Bay. If you're staying at Estate Concordia (Lameshur i...
One thing to remember - boating is easier in the VI than New England (I'm a Boston/Cape person too) because the tides don't vary the way they do here....
Sounds just like our routine. I start packing as soon as the laundry is done 🙂 - usually a day or so before - right up until we leave the house (pa...
Not really - I've used both and would decide based on the ferry schedule. If you are going to be close to or in Charlotte Amalie around the ferry's...
Sprint worked on STT (Charlotte Amalie) and on the Cruz Bay side of STJ with 4 bars of digital (non-roaming) service.
You're right - the weather here in Boston has been awful this spring. I am SO jealous! Have a great stay at Concordia; we've been twice and absolutely...
Good review, Marty. I just want to add that the studios are a nice alternative for someone who appreciates the peace & quiet (no TV or phone eit...
Will you be staying in the eco-tents or the studios? The reason I ask is the studios have fully equipped kitchens/kitchenettes, and very nice bathroom...
I'm from MA; the difference is huge, enough to make boating a challenge. Another good reason to sail in the VI 🙂
The closer a location is to the equator, the smaller the difference between high and low tides.
Also consider the studios at Concordia and Harmony (also at www.maho.org). Though more expensive than the eco-tents, they are still very reasonable fo...
This link points to the best on-line map I've found: br />
Vie's are great! In Cruz Bay, I'd say Woody's has the best fritters.
The trail to Ram's Head (just beyond Salt Pond Bay) is gorgeous and not terribly taxing. We are not hikers and we hiked it in July. We were tired ...
We always go to Woody's at least a couple of times per trip. The upper level of Quiet Mon pub (next door to Woody's) is fun too.
One consideration - if you have a car trouble, the agencies on STT may not assist you on STJ. Last summer while ascending a steep incline, our tire r...
Awesome surprise! Let us know how it goes... Trunk Bay has a changing area with showers, so you should be all set. Have fun!
We took a small umbrella stroller and a Kelty (backpack-type) carrier. Both came in very handy. Also insulated sippy cups are great for the beach. ...
I found Starfish to be more similar to at typical grocery store in the states - they have a lot of name brands, a produce section, deli, fozen foods,...
Don't forget the Sox cap - for those "chilly" evenings 🙂
