We went this year, for the first time. I've been visiting Jost about twice a year since 2002, both on charters and land based. We were land-based this trip, and paid a big premium for the privelege of being there that week. We even did Foxy's Upper Crust, since we had a pretty good idea this would be a one-and-done thing. Would I do it again? Nope. Why?

I love Jost because of the laid back, friendly vibe ... the times when you can have White Bay or the Bubbly Pool all to yourself ... and spending time with my island friends. NYE/OYN is not that time. People are everywhere (30 people at the Bubbly Pool!), and everybody's hustling to get a piece of it. There was nothing relaxing about that trip and it probably cost me 2x as much as it would in May or October. Too many people, and not the Jost experience I love.

JMHO
