Also posted this on VIMovingCenter - apologies in advance for the redundancy. At any rate, we're taking our fourth trip to STX - our all-time favorite island, first holiday visit - flying in at 4:30 pm on the 24th and sticking around for the next 18 days. Aaaaahhhhhh!!!

Our question is - will there be any grocery or other stores open long enough after we arrive to stock up on a few days worth of provisions (mostly food 'n liquor)? Pueblo? K-Mart? Cost-U-Less? Or should we plan on finding someone on island to shop for us ahead of time? And any restaurants open on the 24th & 25th?

It would bother us not a whit if the whole island was rolled up tighter than a drum for the weekend - in fact we can't think of a better way to celebrate the holidays - but we just want to make sure we're not fasting until Monday either. Any advice?

Thanks in advance -

B & K
