Fuck you, Worst Bank.


Date / Time:3/31/2010 3:14 pm AST
 
Message:Good day,

I am so frustrated right now.  Late February I placed an order online at First
Bank for a check reorder, and received a confirmation.  Several weeks go
by, no checks.  I called and Harland told me that we can no longer order
checks online, and that I'd have to go to the bank.

I dropped the check order form in the ATM at the Cruz Bay branch on
3/18/10 (I have the ATM receipt).  Still no checks, as of today.  I went
upstairs to customer service and was told, quite rudely, that I shouldn't
have used the ATM and that tellers don't handle check reorders. 
Apparently, it would be too difficult for a teller to send the reorder slip
UPSTAIRS.  The woman who I was working with did reorder them, so it will
be at least a week before I receive them.

And now I am OUT OF CHECKS.  And I have people to pay.  I asked about
getting temporary checks, and was told there was a $1 fee per check.  No
thanks.

I am disgusted, to say the least.  I called the Waterfront branch to file a
complaint, but was not able to get a live person.

I would appreciate a call from someone to discuss this further, or my two
accounts are going to be closed and moved to Merchants.  I am THRILLED
with their customer service. 

By the way, your website is down, so this is the only way I can figure to get
through to someone.

and a fun afternoon…they have remarkable outdoor furniture

Nice! Dead ball in your pool! Let me buy this house.

The longest arrival of my life.

Goodness. Flight landed at 12:05.  Guests had the directions to call me both from the airport and from the ferry. Well, no calls. My calls to their cell went unanswered, and had no voice mail.

So I wait, and wait. 1:45, phone rings. "Hi, we're here and at the dock." I told them I'd be right down, and that they should have called sooner so they didn't have to wait. Her reply, "We're having lunch and will be ready in an hour. We'll call you when we are ready." Are you fucking kidding me?

Off I go to do my errands. And still no call, it's 3:00 now. So I walk down to the restaurant, and there they are, having their blender drinks. I told them I needed to get them to the house, and first they said they had to wave to the web cam for everyone back home.


Next stop, the car rental. Which took 40 minutes. Finally to the house. At the driveway, I tell them to drive forward a few hundred yards, and turn around in the bottom of the first driveway that I was pointing to, and turn around. There they go! Right past the driveway!

I tood a look at my coputer, as per the advise of my tax-driver, and this is what my eyese ready. Have a good Thursday's.


Back in the 80's, as newlyweds, my husband and I tood a
 trip to St Croix (our 1st trip to the Virgin Islands) 








Cool idea! I'll be checking it out. The 
spicecam is on my coputer screen 
every day! It's like crack 
for me :)I am down hin STT now

I can't wait to put all the planning behind me 
and plant my but in the sand!!!
_____________________________
I missed RUth our last trip but hope to catch 
up if we get back in May 
Therefore, if your tax-driver is on 






"island-time"
And.....to a degree....it was sometimes rude 
or in my eyese, an excuse to be slow.
To me, the key is to put yourself on island time 
when your on islands like STX. 
In the morning we havea leisurely breakfast 
________________________________
Repost since noone replied before. We're coming this Saturday for 2 weeks 
and like to know if there is a place to get life music schedules on St. John. ________________________________________________
And please anymore advise is surely welcome.
________________________________________________









So if you don’t like crowds or extremely long lines and waits for food 
then avoid Magens and Emerald beach on Tuesday’s.
________________________________________________









What will happen if those cruise ship people ready this and begin ruining 
the beaches people in the know frequent on cruise ship days?
________________________________________________








And, last. No typos, boo, but this is just gross:

It'll be here before we know it. Don't take this the wrong way, 
but this is kind of like the wonderful time before the climax...
 ( of being on STJ...)

This is so awesome!

Well!

I guess this is what a bed should look like, after two people spent four nights with four cases of beer!

This pain's me.

Be careful out there!


Maho Bay, Sunday
Because I am so very nosy, I asked this guy what that stick was that he was taking in the water (look to his left, the stick is floating). He said it's a shark prod of some type, and it telescopes out to be used to punch a shark in the eyes. OK, then!

Dream on!


My husband and I are planning a 30th anniversary trip to 
St. John late in October. Someone mentioned to me the 
other day not to plan to do much sightseeing on our own - 
that she was under the impression that sightseeing away 
from the populated areas was dangerous on both St. Thomas 
and St. John - that poverty was common and crime was likely.

My husband and I are looking forward to renting a cottage 
near Coral Beach and spending a quiet week exploring the 
island, snorkeling and just generally poking around, spending 
time getting to know the island.

Budget for house would be ideally $1000 to $1200 - which I 
think is reasonable. Must haves? Pool would be nice or jacuzzi 
but certainly not necessary. More wishful for a house with lots of 
windows to open to catch the breezes - I have dreams of waking 
up to the birds, the sun and cool breezes floating over the bed.... 
Of course, I'd love a short walk in the morning to get coffee and 
breakfast sitting outdoors at a pleasant restaurant and enjoying 
the breeze, but want to be in a private house...

But mostly want a laid back vacation, privacy, with sites to see 
if we are so moved - stopping at beaches, forests, etc when 
we are inclined and see something that interests us. 

Not really shoppers - but sounds like if we get antsy for people 
and buying things, we can hop over to Saint Thomas relatively easily.

Sfter party.


 Bar hopping for wedding guests sfter party (with Piper?) 
Mar 04, 2010, 11:55 PM
I have been getting many questions about where the crew is going to go in 
June after the wedding dinner is done..
Since I have learned that STJ spots can change with the seasons (The Balcony :), 
are the same bars still there that were there last November?
PS: Will the cousins get a ticket if they do the bar hopping playing the pipes (bagpipes) at night?
Reply:
Bagpipes?!? That will surely draw some attention! 
But I don't think it will invoke any ticket writing.
From original poster:
Thank you again for the info..
We will be roaming about that night and wanted to know if I was on the drums and 
the cousins had the pipes if we would end up playing them in a STJ cell. :)

Random typos. Don't try to make sense of them!






You have taken loss of your senses - stick with the BVI - 
visit St, John's for a day. We woudl love to have you at Euphoria. 
_______________


Last night the hubby and I ate at xxx. 
I'm glad that we decided to go. I really 
liked how open and cramped everything was. 
Even though there was a party and other diners 
it almost seemed like we were all alone. 
{A reply, and very sadly, NOT from me:  
I'm confused by the description of 
"open and cramped". Can you explain??}
