It's been quite a little while since I actively posted on this forum, but I was lurking here about a month ago doing research for my first trip to St John with my husband and our granddaughter. We've just returned and I've posted the entire trip report, with lots of photos, on my blog and I wanted to share here, both to say thanks for the help I received and in case it's helpful to future travelers.

Day 1, in which we travel and arrive at Gallows Point, delighted with everything: http://asthecrowefliesandreads.blogspot.com/2011/10/st-john-day-1.html

Day 2, in which we explore the island for the first time and see some *gorgeous* beaches: http://asthecrowefliesandreads.blogspot.com/2011/10/st-john-day-2.html

Day 3, in which we take a daytrip to the BVI and my husband gets verbally assaulted over dinner: http://asthecrowefliesandreads.blogspot.com/2011/10/st-john-day-3-or-four-islands-in-eight.html

Day 4, in which we visit beaches and Annaberg and have an amazing dinner:
