Cool!! Will be there in a few weeks!

The cruise ship pier is in Fredricksted. There are a couple popular beaches on the west end, not far at all from the pier. Rainbow beach will be busy with ship people, it’s within sight of the ship, and has a nice bar & grill. Another area popular with cruise ship people is Sandcastle, where a s...

Great job Margy! I was hoping you would add to this thread... (and I am patiently waiting for part 4 of your report... :) ) We are St Croix fans as well, and will be going back for a third year in a row in early 2011. Great beaches, properties at which to stay, historical attractions, restaurants, o...

Thanks Jim! It's been a while since we met in San Juan, hasn't it!?

It seems like we shopped all the agencies last year to find the 'right' villa, and actually found this one on VRBO. I appreciated dealing directly with the stateside owner (except for the little issue with the key last year).

The best snorkeling, in my opinion, is at Buck Island, then my favorites were Isaac's, Cane Bay, and the area around Pull Point, which was just a short walk from our villa. We saw kayaking on the west end, at Rainbow beach, and from the Chenay Bay resort - a few people ventured out to Green Cay, a s...

Trip report: St Croix March 6-20, 2010 There is no chance of making this nearly as entertaining as many of the trip reports that the very creative folks post, so I’ll just hit the high points and throw in some pics to tell the story! This was our 2nd trip to stay on an island (both have been to St ...

We used Bohlke, based in St Croix, for our day trip from STX to Tortola just a few days ago. We chartered their smallest, a Beech Baron, but they have other aircraft available, too.

Thanks for the review! Love the panoramic pic - the villa we stayed in was just out of the frame a little further to the right.
Anything to add about favorite, or not so favorite dining? We're going back in 2010, and always like to hear about places we may not have yet been...

Let us Iowan's know where and when....

Thanks for the GREAT reports - love them! They remind us of our trip to St. Croix back in February, and help us look forward to next year's return trip!

'Big D' definitely stays busy!

Very cool review, Jim.

It was great to meet you in the airports on the way home (we were the three couples in SJU, DFW, & DSM that were headed back to Iowa, too!).

Red Stripe from around here does NOT tast the same, does it...
