My nondiving wife and I are thinking of going to the Carribean for a few days to celebrate our 50th. We are looking for a laid back trip.
-Some convenient and easy diving for me to do. I like reefs and shallow wrecks to watch critters
-No prop planes. She almost got taken out on one once and does not do props. As she puts it, she wants real planes.
-Preferably not a boat ride after we get off the plane.
-Hills are nice for scenery but she has some orthopedic issues so walking and sightseeing on foot should be pretty flat.
-Some nearby land stuff to see: gardens, historical stuff, nature, little shopping, maybe some wildlife
-Nice convenient beaches
-Low crime rate. Every place has some crime but some places tend to have more than others.
-Friendly people.
-Nice accomodations. Does not have to be 5 star but appreciate nice surrounds and service and food.
-Not an island we have been to before so that rules out: Caymans, Cozumel, St. Thomas, St. Johns, Antiqua, Bahammas (Nassau), Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Bermuda.
Any suggestions? One thought I had was St. Croix seemed a possible fit at first glance. Any experience with that?
