St John has always had an artier appeal than its neighboring islands, which is best experienced on a gallery hop through Cruz Bay. Best of all, there are no boats required – you can start your dive from the shore. As you descend, expect to find a rainbow of corals and sponges, as well as eels, nurse sharks, spotted eagle rays, seahorses and schools of tropical fish. The Cane Bay Wall plunges off the north shore of St Croix from 12m to over 4023m (40ft to over 13,200ft), with both sheer vertical drops and slow sloping areas that make for some of the most fantastic scuba diving in the Caribbean. The crystal clear waters around St Croix are perfect for snorkeling and diving © Glowimages / Getty Images Dive the world-famous Cane Bay Wall Both now hold museums that tell the history of the enslaved Africans who built them and the European armies they housed. The legacy of this colonization is today most prevalent in the Danish fortifications that remain, including the red-brick Fort Christian in the harbor of Charlotte Amalie, which dates to 1672, and the dandelion-yellow Fort Christiansværn in the harbor of Christiansted, which dates to 1738. The Virgin Islands traded hands so often during the colonial era that the Spanish, French, English, Dutch and Danish all planted flags before the US purchased them from the latter in 1917 for $25 million in gold. Explore historic forts in Christiansted and Charlotte Amalie Timing your trip around one of these festivals will give you the best appreciation of the local West Indian culture as the streets burst to life with calypso music, jumbie dancing (skilled stilt dancers said to ward off evil spirits), and extravagant parades. Each island celebrates at a different time of year, with St Thomas kicking things off in April with the territory’s biggest fete, followed by St John in June and St Croix in December. The shimmering sounds of steel pans, the competing clatter of food trucks and the technicolor feathers of masquerade outfits are all telltale signs that the month-long Carnival season has arrived in the USVI.

Each island has its own Carnival throughout the year and its worth planning your trip around at least one © EAGiven / Getty Images Plan your trip around Carnival A screaming match ensued ,and next thing you know Sable and I are running down the street with loads of furs and dresses and all these morning commuters about wrecked ! It was HILARIOUS. We end up back at sables apartment (penthouse where she lived with the heiress) at 6 am and the dyke was beyond enraged. There we are rolling down Kennedy Blvd in a limo while Sable is riding that dick. One night Sable and I were in a limo making the rounds of the bars and doing massive amounts of coke and she picked up this scorching hot Coast Guard stud. That old dyke lavished furs and gowns and jewels on Sable. Then you must know or heard of Sable Starr ! Sable was dating a lesbian heiress to the Johnson and Johnson fortune that was madly in love with her and was going to pay for Sable to have the surgery,but Sable wasnt ever going to and was stringing her along. R202 Rene's was my spiritual home ! I posted upthread about doing lines at the table and dancing all night.
