delta ditching St Thomas?

Delta has NO flights for Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November, not even Thanksgiving. Is this the beginning of Delta withdrawing from St. Thomas, or just another oversight at their web site?? Time to contact Delta and COMPLAIN!

Virgin Gorda and Caneel

We would stay for 2 weeks in VG again in a heart beat. It is a wonderful island with great snorkeling, very friendly people and good food! We have stayed at Caneel three times and will again in the future. The snorkeling at Caneel is spectacular and the breakfast is superb.

We had a one night stay at the emerald beach resort in December and although the room was large and clean we found the "resort" lacking. It is convenient to the airport and if you need a place to sleep it should do, but that is about all you should expect.

Becky was it the gate agents or TSA? When we left St. Thomas on Wednesday the TSA was setting up a table to re check the carry on bags. We were lucky to board first and missed the mess.
It seems like TSA is doing the random gate checks again at several locations.
