Another trip to St. Croix! The occasion? To celebrate my sister's 81st birthday. Her two daughters, and 2 grandchildren were also on the island. They left the island before I did.
I left New York on February 24th on Delta with my roommate. We flew via San Juan to connect with Silver Airlines. It should be noted that a portion of Terminal D in San Juan has been renovated. The new section houses Silver, Cape Air and possibly interCaribbean. The area was nicely renovated.
We left St Croix on March 4th and flew through San Juan via Silver to connect with Delta.
It was a very enjoyable trip! (I decided not to concentrate on all the negative things which occurred.)
The following are the photos I took during the trip. I will post photos by date and were taken with my Panasonic Lumix camera (date lower right) and my Galaxy S20 cell phone (no date).
