St. John Guidebook 2010



Welcome to St. John!

St. John lies a 20-minute ferry boat ride east, or right, of St. Thomas. It is the smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, and the most unspoiled one, as 2/3 is National Park. Most guidebooks will tell you the direction and distance from Miami. Our advice to you is to hold on to your return ticket.

When everyone is home at the same time, some 4,000 friendly residents and approximately 400 asses live on the island. That is a ratio of 10 to 1 - not bad... The wild donkeys were counted by the National Park.

Some boring facts about us:
The islands are a U.S. territory. We are U.S. citizens, but cannot vote for President. However, we do have an elected delegate to Congress who, on the other hand cannot vote either. But what can you do?

St. John is the same size as Manhattan. Both Islands have taxi gridlocks... but the view is better when you're stuck in ours.

We are Americans, and we use US Dollars when we have them. Otherwise, we use plastic.

We do hope that you will enjoy your stay here. We sure would like to see you back soon.
