If you are referring to "The Taste of St John" it is a wonderful event for food 🙂 and I think it is in the $100+ per person range, tickets in advance - no date has been set - not 100% sure it will be held this year or not but fingers crossed it will 🙂

Pia,

I'm a newbie here. Do you live on the island? The event sounds great. Hopefully they will have it again this November. Hopefully we will be there when they do.

Welcome to the forum 🙂 and yes, I live on STJ 🙂

Hi Naturegirl.

I go every year at that time. Usually I fly out on Thanksgiving morning... I wish it were November already....

You, me and everyone traveling in November. How many in your party Moho? I was thinking if we have a few small groups going we can share a boat to the BVI's. Born to Rhumb looks great or we can take other suggestions.

For all the vets and especially those who are lucky enough to live on St John, would you bother going to BVI's on your first visit or spend the time on St John itself getting to know it? I'm in a quandary. We love to hike and the snorkeling looks amazing although I will have to conquer my shark fear just to get into the water. We rent houses almost everytime we vacation because we love to cook and have our own place to come home to at the end of the day.

Thanks Pia (lucky girl),

How long have you been living on St John? Any recommendations of things to do as a St John virgin?

Naturegirl,

The BVI is great also. Definitely visit Jost Van Dyke for a relaxing day of lounging on the beach drinking pain killers.
St. John is the island to spend most of your time snorkeling and relaxing on the beach. I usually rent a jeep and go to a different beach every day. Then in the afternoon I head down to the beach bar for a few drinks. Later I take a shower and go out for dinner and a glass or two or thee of wine. Sleep and repeat....

Hey Maho,

Have you decided where you are eating Thanksgiving Dinner?

The Taste of St. John will be on November 17th and starts at 6:30. Tickets are $100 and can be bought in advance by calling 340-776-6182, or emailing [email protected]. You can read more on St. John Source: http://www.onepaper.com/stjohnvi/?v=d&i=&s=News:Local&p=1201843299

Thanks StJohnJulie,

Will you be going?

My husband and I, plus our children year old will be arriving on the 17th. Is ti worth the $100? also, what about kids? Same Price?

I would LOVE to go! I am a foodie of sorts and this is right up my alley...except for the crowd part. I shy away from crowds... but a glass or two of wine usually helps! It happens to be on my birthday, so I may just treat myself. If I don't make it, I hope some one posts about it. I guess my biggest concern about going is that a lot of the local functions that are held at the Westin draw some of the islands most snooty. I'm definitely not into the snooty crowd! I would hate to spend the money and have my appetite ruined by to many familiar (snooty) faces. Ahh.... the struggles of living on a small island!!! (ha! ha!, this place is a beautiful place to live once you figure out how to live in a fish bowl)

Jtills can't answer your question because I have never been.

stjohnjulie my husband and I are not the snootie type but we are foodies for sure. We will be there and hope you will be too! If not, I will let you and the forum know how it turns out.. They
