Our first trip to the US VI was so successful we've already reserved two weeks for March 2010. The flights were uneventful and timely. We feel we made the right decision taking the taxi to downtown Charlotte Amalie and the ferry from there to Cruz Bay. The ferry was fun, cool and splashy and a brown booby led our boat all the way to the ferry dock. Our taxi to Cinnamon Bay after a brief stop there for some blended beverages and light supper convinced us we had no interest in renting a car. The road trip was full of sharp corners, blind turns and steep inclines. Wouldn't want to meet anyone on the wrong side of the road who had also had some blended beverages.
Our campsite was literally a minute's walk from the most beautiful beach we saw the whole time we were here. We could hear the surf all night from our tent. There were no pesky donkeys or rodents in our area. The campground staff were very hospitable and great sources of information. Our cooler with our first 4 dinners worth of seafood, chicken and steak did well by us and we found the food at the campground to be reasonable and good. We walked everywhere, just being very cautious on Rt 20. We walked to Maho and then took the goat trail to Maho Bay Campground. We walked to Cruz Bay, stopping at Trunk Bay, Jumbie Bay and Hawksnest and cut through Caneel Bay to Honeymoon Beach, then took the Lind trail into Cruz Bay. We did some eating, drinking and shopping and took a taxi back.
All the information provided on this message board was very helpful. And today we had snow on Cape Cod....
