One of the things about once-in-a-lifetime vacations is that we try to maximize whatever time we have in these destinations and see as much as possible. This can often lead to some busy, fast-paced vacations. The thing about St.John is that, while it’s gorgeous and there are plenty of fun things to do, the island is small enough that we felt we could really slow down and take our time exploring. We spent a lot of time hiking, kayaking and venturing around the island, but we also spent plenty of time planting our butts in the soft sand or splashing in the clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea.
