20+ year STJ visitor that has been drawn to VG 3x over recent years here - STT defies logic at times. Departures are jammed into a short window and lines can spill out into the parking lot. Carry-on only can ease the pain but C&I and TSA can be their own nightmare.

Since we can fly to sju more reasonably than STT, we have chartered to VG our past three trips. depending on group size, it can be not much more than cape air or seaborne (to EIS). Also chartered between STT and sju. Sju via charter is a whole different ball game. I actually sort of like it now.

A couple of years back, I had a dirty old beach bag monogrammed with my name stolen a out of my checked luggage at sju. Each trip since we joke about looking for someone at the airport carrying it. Of all things to steal, they must have needed it to carry their loot.
