Hi - friend's wedding in St. John in mid-April - it's looking cost prohibitive, mostly because we can't seem to use pts (Marriott and Hilton) and miles (United) very easily. We're looking at alternative air routing through San Juan (from Chicago), but my main question is: can we stay on St. Thomas but still attend the wedding and other events in St. John easily by use of the ferry? This would allow us to use some hotel points to defray costs. I looked up some basic ferry info, but couldn't get a real sense of the feasibility of this, if any. Any thoughts or comments on this? Anyone ever try something like this?

Thanks for any help.
