In light of some very good friends friends of mine coming to St. Croix , USVI after we leave here... I decided to take the time to make a list of things that you must do while on island..
these are just a few of the favorites.. but after a week you should have a pretty good sense of what STX is all about and have a fulfilled trip!
most importantly-- remember.. just kick back, relax -- and go with the flow! that's what it's all about.. and drink plenty of the local rum.. don't work the ALC% is about 2% :o)
Love you both- and home you have a riot while you are down here!
***St. Croix Landmarks and History..
Google "St. Croix Sugar Mills" and click on images--gives you a pretty good idea of how cool they are :o)
***SCUBA -- St. Croix Scuba -- about $495.00 for your PADI scuba cert. Life long-- great diving here.. and a ton of fun! Ask for Erika Fisher (my roommate) or Clint Briggs for instructors...
***Fredricksted and Christiansted are the two city's on island.. Like I said earlier... C'sted is much larger and more shopping -- the boardwalk wraps around the 5 blocks of downtown and has some nice places to eat.. I recommend going to Angry Nate's for lunch sometimes and get the "Jerked Mahi Mahi wrap with mango aioli sauce" YUM YUM YUM!
***Brew pub is a nice place for drinks -- it's right next to The Mill that is also on the boardwalk.. normally live music playing.. not sure what will be open/playing during that time of year...
***Tide Pool review --- have not done it yet-- but have heard RAVE reviews!
***Point Udall - eastern most part of the US --- very cool.. I'll tag you in a photo of mine to see when we were there! very easy to get there!
***If nothing else-- you HAVE to leave with one of these.. both of you! Cruzan hook bracelet! - make sure you get it from Sonya's... its the original maker-- read the history.. she makes one for every hurricane too.. i have the basic hook..
***Crab races -- some local fun !
***Chenay Bay --- Mahi's is the little resturant on the beach there-- an they have .50$ buffalo wings on Thursday nights
here is there deals ---> Mahi's
***Rainforest-- kinda cool.. but just a rainforest.. STX Rainforest
***Cane Bay -- GREAT beach! my favorite on the island.. and when you are there.. you HAVE to order a "Lime in the Coconut" Carl is the bartender and he makes a great one.. if he is still there tell him Gloria "the passive aggressive Marine" sent you---
***Cruzan Rum Factory tour -- and last .. but CERTAINLY .. not least.. you must take a tour thru the Cruzan Rum factory.. for a mere 5$ or so-- you tour and sample as much as you want!
***I really hope this helps.. and feel free to call me if you need anything.. while preparing for this trip... or after you are already here... I'm only a phone call away
PS: AT&T works great down here... service almost everywhere.. Verizon charges you roaming fees...
