Here - 5 mins late [Westin St. John]

I've read many times that WSJ is one of the most difficult exchanges in the timeshare universe. This thread has me wondering why.

Because it's a very unique place, and tiny, and WSJ is the only TS on the island.

If you read this thread and say to yourself that it sounds awful... WSJ/STJ may not be for you... {no disrepect}- we love this place

I found out about the bees - I may even get photos - the Bee Keeper (old islander guy named Smooth - looks 75) just came by - what a character - there were 1000s of them - they tore out the wall in our bedroom - he tells me the smoke is harmless (I hope so...)

How late is the market open, outside of the Resort?

Glad to read that the resort go you into your unit.

St John Market is open until 11PM - they have prices up as of last night - stopped by to get some Supremely Spicy hummus (Sabra) to go with our toasted Naan bread - yum - and vine tomatoes
 
Upcoming music at the Beach Bar - we are going to go see 'The Ish' Friday...

When bee keepers "smoke" out bees, they usually just burn regular old wood sans chemicals. You should be okay.
 
Towel Cards?...

Towel Cards?... We don't need no stickin' Towel Cards.

The girl bartender makes a much prettier bushwacker than the boy bartender. I'll see if I can't find a picture.

WOW! KILLER VIEW!!!! Do you have a roomy lanai for lounging? (or whatever they call it on SJ.)
 
Girl Bartender's Bushwacker - circa 2 weeks ago -- and sorry, I have no idea how to make this smaller.

loved the photos especially the grassy areas between units? What is the building with steps going down to beach? Also in your 2nd photobucket series, large inner stairway - what is this?

Likewise, I wasn't too keen about trading into St John, your photos are better than the official photos - love the sunset views

Fooled you!!!
those were from last year - its been raining - but everything is green green green

just had our steak dinner (no one is using those great BBQs) - of course it is raining, but still - i am calling it 'happy sweat'

bought a wine wine at Starfish - fantastic -
Conundrum 2006 White Table Wine - $38.59 - and worth every penny (screw cap)

I can guarantee you, we will be firing up the grills at pool below. So when you see smoke, it will be us. You should see all the food the girls are packing.

$38.59 a bottle....excellent!
