We're heading to St. Croix in late September and returning from St. Thomas two
weeks later. Reading the travel guides now, and planning our itinerary.

Our general plan is to play 2-3 hours of tennis every morning, have a big,
late-ish lunch, do a little shopping/sightseeing/sun soaking each afternoon,
have a light supper and a drink while watching the sun set,rack out early,
lather- rinse- repeat.

Does anyone have any advice on the relative merits of the two islands, and how
long we should spend on each one? I'm leaning toward spending more time on St.
Croix, since it's supposed to have a more Caribbean "flavor."

Thanks -- Larry

St Croix is bigger and less developed. It has many less cruise ship
visitors and I think it would be more relaxing. St. Thomas has the
big shopping opportunities, and has 6 or 7 cruise ships a day where
thousands of passengers get off. Personally if I were doing it, I'd
spend most of my time in St. John at Caneel Bay, and not spend a lot
of time in St. Thomas unless you want to go to those type of shops
that the cruise ships recommend to their customers like Diamonds
International and Colombian Emeralds.
