Bill -- This is a great report! Unfortunately the photo links at the beginning no longer work; it says they've migrated. Is there a new link to all of your pics? We have just booked 10 nights at the Honeymoon Cottage over New Year's.

Lisa,
Do try to get over to Jost Van Dyke to Foxy's for their big New Years Party they have every year. I hear its a great time! Also, I posted a bunch of pictures from our trip to St. John a month ago. Did you get a chance to see them? Enjoy your trip!

lisa

kellybeaches -- I did see your trip report and pics, they were great!

Thanks for the tip about NYE, hadn't even thought about that actually!

Hi Lisa,

Here are active links to those photos. I've moved them to Kodak. Have a great time on St. John! The second link just of pictures of Honeymoon Cottage.

Great report, and would love to see your photos!

Don't know if you're still around or interested, but your first two links lead to Kodak, and the Kodak site is "in service."

If there's any way to actually see them it would be great!
Many thanks...

The new links work. Kodak is doing maintainence, which I have no control over. Try back later.

Bill, thank you so much, I really appreciate it. We can't wait!

Bill -- The floats that are in your pictures, were those provided with the cottage or did you buy them on the island?

Bill - The link now works. Thank you!! We've been to St. John 5 out of the last 6 Octobers, but alas we are not going this year. Long vacation planned in May. I've decided to look at photos, trip reports, order a new Calendar and read Off the Beaten Path. I'm so glad your report came up to the top of the postings. Great photos and report. Again thanks.

Lisa,
The floats were already there, but were a little long in the tooth. I wouldn't be surprised if there were new ones by now. I literally spent hours at a time in that damn thing. It was great.

I've got a "big" birthday coming up and I am strongly considering going back to St. John to celebrate. I really regret not staying at Caneel, so that's what I'm thinking for this time.

lisa

Can't blame you for wanting to stay at Caneel -- it looks gorgeous -- but we can stay 10 nights in the Honeymoon Cottage for the same price as 3 nights at Caneel so we didn't really even consider it. I am sure we will check out the beaches at Caneel while we're there though! Thanks for all the great info, it is really helpful.

You really should splurge and stay at Caneel. In fact, I highly recommend the split between Caneel and Little Dix on Virgin Gorda that is offered. If you like St. John you'll love Virgin Gorda as it still is more like the "old" days of St. John before the crowds! And there are lots of choices of wonderful accomdoations and villas right on magnificant beaches!

Since trip reports are more easily accessible now, I thought I would update the photos as the original yahoo link is no longer valid. Here is the new link.

I read your topic headline and thought---Oh, no! Glad you were just joking. Those pictures look like a tree house in paradise, the place is perfect!
