I was there on a cruise 2 years ago I believe. But, as cruises go, you get 12 hours to explore before leaving. Rarely enough time to truly appreciate a place.

This island is a great home base to explore other islands. We usually stay on St. Thomas and take our rental car to St. John's on the car barge. If you decide to visit let me know and I can send you a link to our friend's Airbnb.
Cool, thanks.
It won't be this year ... Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, and Australia are on the docket for this year.
Whoa, that's a full docket! We made try for Europe this spring but we're not sure yet. Enjoy your travels!
If you haven't played with http://google.com/flights yet, give it a shot. Especially for Europe, put in your starting airport, leave your destination airport empty, put in your dates, then scroll around the map.
i.e.
et voila!
Those are the lowest prices, taxes and fees included. Many times, there is a huge price difference between cities, when you can take a short train ride (time permitting). For example, flying to Paris or Geneva when the 3 hour train ride is about $100 return.
Once you've picked an airport, show the flights, then show the price graph. Here, you can see whether coming a couple days before or after would save you money.
Warning: you can lose a couple hours exploring, so grab a glass of wine first.
NOTE: You can also let Google find the best price in the next 6 months if you don't have firm dates.
Oh wow, thanks for the tip! I'll definitely be checking this out. I have a trip for Montreal planned in early September and we have an Airbnb but no airfare yet. I usually use an app called Hopper for plane tickets but it's not as good as it used to be.
Drinking while making travel arrangements might be a really bad idea for me though. I could drain our account pretty quickly. One glass might be okay. ; )
