evy1202 Posted April 6, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 6, 2007 there is a don q rum store in front of pier #2 that is the place to find the answer and try a complimenatry drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT Trips Posted April 6, 2007 #3 Share Posted April 6, 2007 St Thomas purchases are sure to be duty free and you get a greater allowence for what you purchase there. IIRC it was also less expensive there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromom Posted April 7, 2007 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Definitely buy Don Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furbuddy Posted April 7, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted April 7, 2007 i'm canadian, duty free allowances are quite different. i usually bring back more than i'm allowed [put some in checked baggage] but it's difficult if everyone is keeping track for me .... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ so purchasing in st. thomas would be a better deal ?

ilandlvr Posted April 7, 2007 #6 Share Posted April 7, 2007 You can carry it on the plane because you've already gone through security. If you buy two bottles they give you this really cool cloth carrying case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Island Annie Posted April 8, 2007 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I remember seeing Don Q (and a few others) on display in one of the gift shops in the San Juan Intl airport. (probably a bit more expensive there, but if you still haven't bought any by the time you're at the airport, it's an option). Personally, I go to the place mentioned above that let's you taste;-) Enjoy! Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilandlvr Posted April 8, 2007 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2007 at the San Juan airport duty free shop. It really depends on how much you want to handle it. This was just convenient for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some day I'll learn to look at where people live. It is certainly better than the San Juan airport price wise. I'll just say it's my choice . . . as we get a higher allowence there I have not looked much in other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
