                                                                                However, we are getting a lot of questions. 

Here are answers!

2. You do NOT have to have a passport to visit the USVI. (But if you don't have one, I would suggest getting on, the world is so big. Let's Explore!!)

3. Food - St. Croix has restaurants of all kinds. If you want to go dressy, we have that. Most restaurants are outdoors and beach casual. Plenty of vegetarian & vegan options are available. Check out the local Bush Tea, available at most restaurants.

4. Roads - We drive on the left side. If you rent a car, we suggest a Jeep or Small SUV. Not all roads are paved, and some have LARGE potholes.
