Does anyone have a good destination wedding spot in the USVI?

I recently got engaged and we are really set on a destination wedding. We don’t want to have to ask people to get passports, so we are thinking of the US Virgin Islands. I’d like a place that’s all inclusive, and I want to see if anyone on here has had a destination wedding in either St. John, St. Croix, or St. Thomas? and what was the experience like? Please only respond if you have either had a wedding there or been to one!

rain forest gear in the USVI?

Requesting info on suggested rain forest gear. North shore, St Croix……remote, west of Carambola…..near tidal pools on higher ground. 58 year old male going to spend a week to ten days on a solo retreat. Not to worry….everyone knows the plan. Just looking for some really good product lines to bring along for comfort. Climbing alone with gps and beacon. Already been there and going back. Any gear you have used in a rain forest would be of interest.

Looking for a secluded tropical island to move to that might be ok for the homeless?

I am looking for an island I can move to in the Caribbean or elsewhere that has at least some flat elevation I can move to. I will be homeless by choice when arriving and will be sleeping in a hammock on the beach somewhere. Any place that has some degree of flat land in areas that matter would be helpful. Also, if tourism wasn’t surging that would help. I was thinking St. Croix, USVI because it is less of a popualr attraction as opposed to St. Thomas. But I’m not sure any flat land exists on St. Croix. I was thinking Little Cayman but I don’t know how well that is policed and I am a US Citizen. What about central america or south america? I have no idea how I will find work but I’m hoping I can find a beach shack to get started at. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend or not recommend an all inclusive vacation to the us virgin islands?

we are looking to "elope" with my best friend and his brother – only four people – NOT A DESTINATION WEDDING. we want an all inclusive i think… not exactly sure if its worth it. never been to all inclusive. but want to marry on beach – no passport required a must as we are looking to go in june. i want a beautiful hotel that is has great service – friendly more than fancy – because i think that makes such a difference. i would love to hear any bride or groom to give me any feedback good or bad – please help… – i find it hard to look for our unique situation and the resorts i was recommended to in st. thomas have horrible reviews. He loves to fish and golf – we are not looking for the cheapest deal necessarily but would love someone to tell me a place they loved and why – preferably in the us virgin islands. st thomas, st johns, st croix– (also if you know of one in florida, or hawaii not ruling them out…) Help:)

Do I need a passport?

I am a U.S. Citizen flying to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands. I know I don’t need a passport to go there but I have a layover in Puerto Rico. Do I need a passport to continue flight from Puerto Rico or can I use my Birth Cert. and Driver’s license?

My husband and I are planning a vacation to the Caribbean in November. Any recommendations?

My husband likes to surf. We were considering St. Croix, The Buccaneer or Tortola, Long Bay Beach Resort & Villas, but I am very sceptical about the accommodations. I recently stayed at The Prisio Del Mar in Riveria Maya and loved it, but no surfing for him there. I also liked Somerset at Grace Bay on Turks & Caicos, but no surfing there either. Does anyone know of any resorts on that level in any other Caribbean islands that have good surf? I saw some nice resorts in Nassau and lots to do there, but have heard it’s very dirty and crime ridden, lots of violent crimes against tourists… Any suggestions???
