The 20s would sadly be an improvement for us...can't wait to be on island in a couple of weeks! Temp here in western PA is dipping to negative 11 before windchill tonight. Get me outta here!

Thanks to all. That's what I figured, but I just wanted to be sure we asked those who have been there. Looking forward to being able to answer questions for others!

First trip to the rock, very excited. One question that nobody seems to address is safety on the island. Not knowing the area, is it safe to walk through Cruz Bay at night? Any safety or security tips that we should be aware of? Thanks!!
