Thanks so much for the replies. We will be looking into both suggestions. And yes, we will be renting a car to see the island sites. THANKS!!!

Does any one have activities or excursions they would recommend?

Thank you so much for the good report. There's so many mixed reviews out there it's nice to hear from someone who goes there regularly. Enjoy your vacation too!

What did you think of the Elysian? Is the restaurant open yet?

Thank you, that makes sense.

I keep reading in Trip Advisor and others that Charlotte Amalie is not safe at night. Is this true other than the usual precautions of being in a town at night?

Thanks for the info. Looks like you'll be there at the same time. We'll be at the Elysian.

This is our 1st time to STT and VI and we'd like to book a day trip to BVI to see the Baths and Soggy Dollar Bar etc. We're 50's but fun and active. We'll be there 2/24 - 3/3. Should we book in advance or wait until we arrive? Any suggestions on which charter company to book with?
