Re: Where would you go?

I would go wherever you have not been before. I think St Croix is underrated and we enjoyed it and the island has a lot to offer.

Re: Last Day - Magen's Bay or STJ?

You might consider going to Hook Line and Sinker in Frenchman Town in STT for lunch and then go to Emerald Beach Best Western and enjoy the facilities and a drink and cool dip in their pool before a 5 minute drive to the airport.

Enjoy the journey

Re: Airline flight change!! Need opinion

We're leaving Sat night with an over night in MIA and connect on the 11:15 to STT. They changed it for free for u too as I reminded them of ...

Re: Whew....I feel better already!

Welcome back...Coconuts was one of our favs before Kevin took it over and did his improvements. I've been banned from staying there and calling the villa due to my Late Night Booty Calls to the occupants at Coconuts one night when I needed a STJ 'FIX'.

Re: Need a Jeep Rental-pre trip report-final!

Conrad Sutton was our first choice many moons ago before we started the Car barge routine( easier with or herd of 6). One nice thing too is his Free parking at night although you will be in Coral and might never need that option.
