Hey everyone!
I'm going to be visiting St. John next weekend for an all-too-short 3 day trip with my girlfriend to escape from the wind, snow, and gray skies of Chicago for a bit. I have been to St. John once and this will be the first time for my girlfriend and we are really looking forward to exploring and having fun . We'll be staying one night in Cruz Bay and 2 nights at Cinnamon Bay campground.
Can anyone give me directions to Penn's Jeep Rental from the Inn at Tamarind Court? Or even from the Ferry dock would be fine. I think I have a fairly good idea how to find it from what they told me on the phone but I thought I'd check in here with the experts who could give me the details. All I know is that it is across from the lumberyard.
We'll be arriving Friday night and picking up our Jeep the next morning. Also, does anyone know if there are any special events going on the 16th-18th on St. John that we should check out? Or any "can't miss" recommendations for such a short trip (we'll definetely be checking out several beaches and snorkeling a lot, and look forward to getting some great food along the way). Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'll be sure to post about our adventures when I have a chance upon our return.
THANKS! 🙂

Here's a map that may be helpful:

As you can see, the Inn at Tamarind Court is at the top of the map on the right side. You'd head straight ahead from the ferry dock.
Penns' isn't on the map, but it's near Cool Breeze, which is marked on the map.. To reach Penn's from the dock, turn left and walk toward the the taxis and the parking lot. The park and the pavilion will be on your right. The street bears right and as you reach the intersection, Cap's will be directly ahead and across the street. The post office will be on your right. Turn left, then turn right heading up the hill. Penn's is just a short way up, on your right. Cruz Bay is small and all of these places are only minutes apart.

Thanks so much!! I'm sure we won't have any trouble!
One of the best snorkels I've done was around Cinnamon Cay, when the sky and water were both clear. I felt like I was in an underwater museum John
