      Hi I really like your channel and subscribed into it. You guys are amazing travelers. I am originally from Nepal. We recently did ABC trekking after watching your ABC Trek video and information about cost. We are looking into some of the cool places that you guys have been to like Curacao, Aruba, St John. We have watched your videos but don't know where you got the package or you simply buy everything and bundle it. Which way is cheaper?

    I am in freezing weather, but my whole mood suddenly improved when I see the island of St. John! Thank you for bringing me a little warmth!
    The underwater world is so beautiful, and those two turtles are so cute. They seem to regard you as friends!
    It is a great honor to hear the history of St. John island and pay tribute to the martyrs who once defended their homeland on the island!
    Thank you for sharing such a wonderful and informative video! Looking forward to seeing your birthday surprise, happy birthday to you! 👍🥰🙌🎁🎈🎉

    Brings back a lot of great memories. I love St. John. I didn’t do much hiking like the two of you did. Definitely need to revisit to experience more of the island on foot. Great snorkeling shots of the turtles as well. The Windmill Bar is always a great stop. As you were driving back to the port you past by Longboard, which is one of my favorite spots for food and drinks. Awesome video, I’m glad you two enjoyed it!! 👍🏻

    Yes U.S. most beautiful island! Not like we have very many. Lol Y'all just brought me back to my youth with such fond memories of this island. Went there in 9/1988 on day trip from St. Thomas. Wish we could've stayed there the whole trip. Like chris said so many beaches! We just parked on side of road and tracked through the jungle which was very steep to a small little secluded beach. After all these years I still say St. John is the most beautiful island I've ever been to.

I made my family do the hike to get there and it was so hot and longer than expected, so I thought they were going to kill me. But as soon as we got to Honeymoon Beach, all was forgiven. Love that place.

    My husband and I love your videos. Your photography and drone shots are awesome. We were on a cruise and did an excursion from St Thomas to St John hoping to snorkel the underwater trail. The water was too rough and turbulent with poor visibility that even getting in and out of the water was difficult. Sadly we didn’t get to do it and were hoping you would have shown it in this video while you were at Trunk Bay. We were there on Dec 17 and it would have been great to meet the two of you.
    Safe travels to you from San Diego.

    • @dawnweissling5623
      @dawnweissling5623 3 місяці тому

      I personally feel like you didn’t miss anything with the underwater trail. It was the least impressive snorkeling on the island. Maho Bay was amazing though. I swam near a turtle the size of a coffee table! The waters are just so clear on St. John. But I understand what you mean about the waves on Trunk. I’ve been there when it was so calm and sweet and then other days it was as wavy as the Atlantic!
