Hibiscus Beach Resort Christiansted

Hello all,
So today I decided it would be easiest to post one communal blog. One of the girls from NSE does this and it sounded like a good idea. So thus far I have been on the island for two weeks. I have seen pretty much everything there is to see, and it is amazing. On our island tour we went all the way east to Point Udall, and all the w...

Like another re-run of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, I hopped a ferry, a collectivo, a shuttle bus, and a plane back to Dallas. I am always sad to leave Mexico, but thankfully it's not that far away. The last stop...sniff...tear...sniff...takes me to an island paradise I have flown over a billion times. And, forcing (oh, rubber arm) my friend...

Day 5: 20th April 2009, Monday Time: 10 am EST Location: St. Croix, USVI Here was a day I was eager about! The reason? there were going to be lots of first-time experiences throughout the day! Beginning with my first trip on a SEAPLANE! Ever since I watched "Tale Spin" on Disney, I was fascinated by this concept of a plane taking off and landing...

WOW..... We landed on St. Thomas after 14 hours of traveling to do some more traveling. Hopped a bus-cab with a hodge-podge of travelers in the rain (of all things) and got on a 15 minute ferry headed for St. John still in the rain. Hopped a cab-open air this time- to get to our campsite surrounded by mosquitoes in the pitch black dark Jurassic ...

Things to do: St. Croix's rich culture and history, along with its beautiful beaches, unique tropical gardens and world-class recreational activities, create an experience unlike any other in the Caribbean. Since the day Christopher Columbus first arrived at Salt River on St. Croix more than 500 years ago, sugar and rum have shaped the island's ...

St. Croix was cool - I stayed at a friend's house who had stayed with me the year before. I went on a school trip with my marine biology class. It was a lot of fun and although many parts of the caribbean are tourist-ridden, st. croix was mainly just locals or ex-pats. The family I had stayed with had been living on st. x for many generations (s...

Hartley, it may be best , forthe good of your sanity that you avert your gaze and read no further. I tell you Sawgrass was nothing compared to the shopping I did today. It was my last opportunity for a FULL days shopping, as the shops are closed on sunday and i leavr monday, but only after Bob has hiked me around half the islandto go to a snorke...

We came into town fairly early this morning to go to the post office. A very nice man was in there posting some fishing rods ( why and where I cannot say ) anyway he later turned out to be the captain of the katamaran that was to take me out to buck island, where they say the snorkelling is amazing. I went to the shop with B and E and paid the r...

Got up showered had breakfast by the pool, purloined a bagel and a banana for my lunch and then headed off to try and get a tour of the island. After a very roundabout route I find that 'Sweenys Tours' , No 80 on the map is not a tour office as you might expect but just the place where he stops to pick up ! I climb aboard and am treated to a mos...

We'd been to St Croix once before. This time was a little different as we had to wait in line on-board the ship to go through U.S. Immigration (kind of an oddity). No other port had required this - but the U.S. did?

During the January cruise - we never even got off the ship in Cozumel - and we somehow felt like we owed it to the line. I...
