High season winding down
Villas get lots cheaper next week. Most villas switch to low season rates in mid-April. Low season generally runs through mid-December. What kind of high season was it this year? Depends on who you ask. There were plenty of folks around this high season. Villa management companies say it was busy. But we hear a lot of restaurants, especially the high-end ones, saw a noticeable slowdown this high season. Maybe that means more staying in at the villa, or just fewer nights out. And after a slow season for Realtors, there have been some pretty expensive properties that have gone under contract in recent weeks.
Summer is great on St. John. It is hotter, but the water is warmer and the popular spots a little less crowded. So what are you waiting for? You’ll probably find some good air fares this summer.

We noticed the same thing about the higher-end restaurants. For the first time in years, we didn’t make reservations to dine for our Feb/Mar trip.
We had no problem at all being seated at the restaurant of our choice.

Stop torturing me! We’ve gone in August but aren’t going this year. We love the emptyness, but it’s HOT!

Does anyone have a clue as to why the Charlotte Amalie ferry has been discontinued.
I don’t know where else to submit a suggestion, so here goes….I think it would be nice to have a feature on this web site to ask questions…..something witty, like…”Ask the Bongo Bongo Guys
