Happy Post Valentine’s Day! Hope you and your family enjoyed the day. Did you know the holiday has been around for centuries? But it wasn’t til 1910 when an enterprising eighteen year old high school dropout - JC Hall moved to Kansas City and began selling cards but especially on Valentine’s Day. As you know the rest is history, Hallmark Cards are the most successful card company in America. And in fact, I just sent an email card to my daughter but unfortunately Hallmark no longer sends e-cards.

TRAVEL TIPS
Maybe I’m pissin in the wind but there’s a bunch of you have either forgot about gettin to St. John or just want to waste my time by askin a couple of hundred times.
Yes, the USVI does take dollars and St. John working people absolutely love cash.
Based on employment figures on St. John, 60% of the people are unemployed. Well not quite true. You see, based on Number 1 above it’s just they don’t pay taxes. Why do you think most people living in Coral Bay only have nicknames and no full name? Yea – you guessed it! They don’t wanta pay any IRS Tax and a big percentage of them don’t.
There really is no crime on St. John but use your head and don’t leave valuables laying on the beach. If someone doesn’t just pick them up the mongoose likely will run off with them.
Get your rental car on St. John. If you rent from the big guys at the airport upon arrival expect to spend 30 to 45 minutes in line. Cause courtesy may be number one objective in St. Thomas but that doesn’t extend to car rental companies. Also, bring a picture of your auto insurance card or they may charge you extra for insurance.
For best airline ticket prices give martrix.itasoftware.com a try. Here you will see prices of all flights get the code displayed and call the airline you want. Give them the code and they will honor matrix price you found.
Taking food with you? That’s great make sure you take snacks and condiments as they are really expensive on the island.
SHAMELESS MARKETING
And you thought I’d forget about marketing. Didn’t you? Hell why do you think I put out this newsletter rag, for the fun of it? So here you go with soft sell of Sopra Mare and Bordo Mare. I just like a chipmunk with full cheeks right now. Every single night is rented to old and new guests pretty much to May. Oh, believe I still have two weeks open at Bordo Mare and one at Sopra Mare. If you want to get your “butt” outta Winter give me an email “ping” mtbgroup1@outlook.com or at my website listed below.
SUMMARY
Been spending my time the last couple of months at my Texas address and now fixin to return to Aspen in a couple of weeks and see lots of snow and friends. Stay warm, stay safe and know I’m just around the corner if you have questions about St. John regardless whether it’s my villas or other places you rent. I’ll do the best I can to give you an honest opinion.
