Suggested items to bring for your St. John vacation
The first time you come to St. John, you'll probably over pack and only use about half of what you brought. The the following list is suggested for our St. John villa because of our ammenities available to you. St. John is informal and relaxed. Keep that in mind when packing and don't forget the important items listed below.
What to bring:
Sun screen
Shorts
Shirts
Bathing suits and coverups (It's actually illegal to walk around with just a bathing suit on.)
Sandals
Hiking shoes and socks if you plan on hiking some of the hilly trails.
A hat
If you are coming during the winter, you might want to bring long pants and a warm shirt or light jacket for the cooler evenings.
All other clothing is optional, since there are virtually no places on the island with a dress code. A collared shirt is nice for dinner, although your shorts and scandals are acceptable.
Sun glasses
Tooth brush and paste
Shaver
Other personal items
Camera (if it's digital, bring the driver and downloading cable. You can use the computer at the villa to burn your pictures to a CD.)
Snorkel, dive mask, and fins (you can buy or rent them on the island if you don't have any)
DVD's and CD's
Picture ID (like a driver's license) and a birth certifcate with a raised seal, or a passport. (Check with your airline for the current rules)
Prescription medication
Travelers checks
Car rental reservation forms (if you've arranged for one)
What NOT to bring
Soap or shampoo (unless you have a favorite kind)
Hair dryer
Towels
