Think I am going to take the ferry over to Jost (BVI) and spend my 2 full days out there. Beautiful beaches and cheap!

depends on your definition of cheap. eating meals at the limited selection of restaurants on the island it can get expensive quick. bring a lot of cash, credit cards are not universally accepted and there are no ATMs on Jost Van Dyke nor in West End Tortola. myself and Mrs PV_ had no problems burning through several hundred $$ on our 4 day trip when United offered these fares for travel last winter (we went over MLK weekend 2014). we paid $203 and upgraded all legs to business w/ RPUs, including lie flat 757 redeye from LAX to IAD.
great trip though. but certainly not cheap.

I would love to upgrade the fare, but don't fly Delta (like ever), so unless I get a good upgrade option I'll be flying in the back of the bus.

Me and a buddy got this out of Dallas in November. This was a few days ago and that was the only weekend in 2015 that I could find. Great fare for a weekend somewhere nice in the winter and getting to check off a new place. Available out of DAL as well as DFW.

bring lots of bug spray, and don't drink the tap water.

we stayed at the same hotel you are referring to. it was not luxury by any means but very serviceable and run by wonderful people. the best part is that it's easy stumbling distance to foxy's...though the stairs can be tricky to navigate after a few painkillers.

Only tricky thing will be getting to the island from STT - I arrive around 1:30pm on a Sunday, ferry leaves for Jost at 4pm, and when I leave for home on a Wednesday, the ferry leaves at 9:15am. No big deal though, still have the 2 full days there.
