How bad could it be?
Four years ago we bought a big fake tree to celebrate our first Christmas on St. Thomas. We set it up, decorated it with cheesy islandy-ornaments, put presents underneath…and when the holiday was over we wrapped it up in a tarp and tucked it un...

For the Record: Trips to Jost (Van Dyke)
Q. What happens when the water is as flat as glass, with no waves and barely any ripples, just totally mirror-like? A. You make it to Jost in record time, and our current record is 16 minutes (on a 26ft-ish boat). Possibly 15. I forget, as we were al...

Oh the wings! That’s right Jack’s Restaurant is now in our family of advertisers and that’s not gonna suck because their wings are INCREDIBLE. As a matter of fact they won our Best of St. Thomas Award for “Finger Lickin“...
Flop envy
We saw these huge flip flops hanging on the wall in a bar up in MA. They’re rubber, and the straps are cloth-ish. And, I want them. Unfortunately for me they were A) secured pretty well to the wall, B) impossible to fold up and put in my pock...
The Ick factor
This morning, as I was coming down the stairs, Scott yelled out, “Guess what I found in one of the scorpion bowls?” A scorpion bowl, for those who might not know, looks like this: Directions: fill with some sort of boozy concoction. (J...
Oh good, our ship came in!
I wish. However, if you’re one of the 43 people waiting for your yacht, it looks like it’s arrived and is waiting for you in Crown Bay. Per the STT Source, yesterday’s delivery of 43 yachts was the largest ever fleet brought to the...
Next stop, St. Thomas.

Say it with me
“I’ve fallen and I can’t…” You know the rest. We saw this ad the other night on tv, the medical alert -ish one, don’t ask what we were watching. A few posts ago we told you about the new and improved 911 system in ...

Sad News From St. Thomas
A friend and well-known Frenchtown fixture has passed away. Rabbit, always behind the bar at Epernay with a smile and a story, you will be sorely missed. We are shocked at the news. We’ll miss seeing you and chatting with you, you were a grea...
Where to start
Tourists do it. Visitors do it. People just-moved to the island do it. Scott and I did it all the time. ASK QUESTIONS, people. Sheesh. We spent a week on both St. Croix and St. Thomas before we moved. We called it a vacation with real estate appoi...
Happy November!
I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween! We’re happy to take any extra treats off of your hands – I like Hersheys Minis and M&Ms. Scott likes candy. I also secretly love NECCO candy, but it rarely makes a Halloween appearance. What’...

We’re So Cool!
