Day Three - St. John


I thought it could not get any better than St. Thomas then I went to St. John. Miles of white sand beaches, crystal clear blue water, unique colorful shops and million dollar homes neatly tucked in the cliffs rising high above the ocean, all welcomed the ferry I traveled on to reach St. John. Our first stop was the bookstore at the National Park Headquarters.

It was a small section of the Welcome Center devoted to books. This bookstore, like Dockside in St. Thomas, will stock my book. And the pre-release continues.

The land in St. John is now very expensive If you ownn land on the Island, I was told by a long time resident, the value has greatly appreciated. The questions from residents of this jewel of the Virgin Island did center on real estate. The concern by some was how to keep real estate within the family for generations. This is where a trust or even a LLC (especially for rental properties) may serve as the best course of action. Stay tuned - one more day left for pre-release activities.
