Folks, I was researching a jeep rental and I ran into this strange policy from L & L Jeep Rental "Keep your jeep tops on at all times, removal of tops,500.00 fine per day" What is up with that?? is it a policy for all rental companies there? wouldn't be better & cheaper to get a car with A/C if that is the case??? Also, has anyone used the Car Ferry between St Thomas and St John? how did that go. Thanks a Bunch.

I just want to warn those of you who are naturists (like me) that US National Park Service rangers aggressively patrols traditional nude beaches like Salomon and Jumbaie (and others) and ticket topfree and nude sunbathers. Tickets are usually50. but I have seen100. tickets issued. This latest round of ticketing has actually been going on continuously since May 2001. I obtained copies of the tickets from the NPS under the Freedom of Information Act. I saw a page on VT written within two months naming Salomon as a nude beach-it used to be, but presently is not. I wish it were, but...I moved to St. John in 1999 and stayed until May 2001 largely because of the availability of nude bathing at Salomon Beach.

I am going to St. John's for the first time and its much in part due to the fact that in recent months I have talked to several people that say it is one of, if the not the most, beautiful places they have ever seen. I am definitely a beach nut and love the ocean but am also curious what other excursions I should take while I am there? My vacation is next March and would love any and all feedback! Thanks! Gina
