Hello everyone, and happy Wednesday night! I apologize that I have been absent for a few days. I caught a nasty little cold, and I was down for the count for a few days. But I’m back now and feeling better than ever, despite having a raspy voice still. 🙂
Ok, so I thought I would share a quick little island update with all of you. I know that many of you of deep in holiday planning, and so are we! That seems to be affecting the island, as it has been nice and quiet the past week or so. We are expecting the crowds to arrive right after Christmas, because that’s when everyone’s calendars really start to pick up!
For those of you who are planning to book an island tour with me this winter, please reserve your date sooner than later. January is almost fully booked, and February and March are really starting to fill in. It’s never too early to book. Just send me a quick email at jenn@explorestj.com to do so. You can also get more information on my island tours at www.explorestj.com/tour.
Everything is now open on St. John. ZoZo’s reopened earlier this month, and Lovango Resort + Beach Club opened over the weekend. Lovango is not technically on St. John, but they’re a neighbor – a good one at that – so I always like to include them. They are typically the last two to open for season.
The Christmas winds are definitely here. It’s normal for the winds to pick up around Christmas time, and that’s currently happening. Hawksnest was rather wavy today, and Cinnamon had some decent waves too. Maho was nice and calm though, as was Francis Bay.
There’s a lot more happening on island, like a great new spot to eat, a new breakfast option, and much more. I’ll have info on all of that and more soon. In the meantime, have a fantastic evening!
