Here - 5 mins late [Westin St. John]

Even though we were both at WSJ, we had totally different vacations. The only overlap is the resort and the Caribbean BBQ.

Very true - we spent little time at the resort - Dinner/Lunch our 1st day, Carib BBQ, massages at the Spa for the girls (~$150/each), and Lunch our last day before the Westin ferry ride to STT ($55pp one way)

Looking forward to seeing the photos of the 2bd loft - last year there were none available to see

Sounds like you guys enjoyed the Carib BBQ - how many tickets did they give you for your Owners Update? Did you get a conga-line going?

Did the Bad Kitty charter work out for you? As a charter - we have found it to be the best so far. There were lots of people on our flight home with Bad Kitty T-shirts. The Bad Kitty seemed to being doing a brisk business - since they moor at the Westin Bay - we only saw them once not being used.

As stated - do not take the public ferry to JVD unless you are on a strict budget (and only pay for a 1-way taxi ride to White Bay) - not worth the savings.

The Photos for the loft will be on day 3 of our report.

They held firm on their 4 tickets per group policy. We ended up purchasing one additional ticket. Dinner, drinks and entertainment for 13 people was $40 and 90 minutes of our rime......best deal of the trip!

The Bad Kitty charter was great! We only had two small complaints, but overall thought the trip was worth the money.
 
Me floating with Pelican (they seemed to love me...) at Leinster Bay

Waterlemon Cay (in distance) from Leinster Bay beach - we snorkeled to Waterlemon Cay from here (vs. walking out to the point) with a turtle escort most of the way - WL cay is the small cay in front of the larger island in background - the water looks green from the sea grass below (turtles eat the sea grass) - unfortunately, did not see any Starfish which had been reported to be in abundance just a couple of weeks before

Depends - some things they have that Starfish didn't and visa-versa - they hadn't completed the inside yet and still hadn't completed with posting prices. This worked to our advantage since we picked up 2 bottles of white wine (normally $40 each) for $15 each. The deli/meat section at the new STJ market wasn't in yet - it is owned by the same people who own Dolphin Market (in Cruz Bay).

Cruzan Rum at Starfish was $5
Cruzan flavored rum (mango was our fav) was $10
Sierra Nevada Ale was $10 for a 6-pac

It is very close to WSJ - so that is a big plus (but Starfish is not far as you know) - the new Starfish Wine/Alcohol store has opened up more space in the Starfish market
 
Wild donkeys of STJ (Coral Bay) - they used to use Donkeys for the sugar mills, but released them when they got steam generators.

Drinks at Asolare w/ Cruz Bay in background (highly recommended for Sunset dinner)

Wow -- more great pictures! I think I need to take a photography class. I'm embarrased to post mine. :eek:
 
Woody's Bushwackers - we would get a round after a day at beach snorkeling at their Take Out window during Happy Hour
