I realize this is a St.Thomas newspaper and I read with concern the piece
turned in from the couple from Hawaii.
We are Michigan residents who have just returned from a two week stay on STX. We had the most wonderful experience ever. We found everyone to be open and friendly and extremely polite.
It was easy to make friends and find that we miss them very much. As we are looking at a retirement home we had lots of questions and everyone was very helpful and more than willing to take time with us. We weren't Pollyannas as we read the papers and know the challenges facing the VI government. But I can say that our experience on St. Croix was great and I look forward to coming back next year and hopefully to stay.
