Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 2577490, member: 7511"] Never done the Paradise Jam, but my wife and I have been to the USVI on many occasions and we love it. Great restaurants, boating, snorkeling, diving, hiking or just hanging out on one of many gorgeous beaches drinking rum. The one thing that has many of us concerned is the damage that resulted from the two Cat 5 hurricanes that hit the USVI last fall. Many of the hotels and related businesses are closed for major repairs. It takes a long time to build or repair anything in the USVI. The Governor of the islands has suggested that it will be 4 years before everything is back to normal, assuming they don't get hit again by a major storm. Not saying don't go. My wife and I are also considering making the trip. But I strongly advise that you do your homework, checking out hotels, rental car agencies, etc. in advance to make sure that once you get there the island is in reasonably good shape to accommodate visitors.
