PROPOSED ITINERARY

Hello, fellow cruisers. Please review this proposal. Tell me whats missing and what you don't want. This is just an outline. There will be many details to fill in over the coming months.

Additional note: With as many as 16 or more cruisers going together on a single trip it is inevitable that there will be different wishes and different styles of vacationing. Together we will create an itinerary that will balance the wishes of all.

Perhaps the best way for me to describe this task is "We will create a through plan that will allow us to go to as many places in the Virgin Islands that a relaxed schedule will permit. We will do this with detailed planning that will allow us the freedom to spend the maximum time doing nothing ."

If we are sucessful at this we will all see the places most important to us, do the things we wish to do and feel no push or pressure to maintain anything more than a RELAXED ISLAND PACE.

I am confident this adventure we are all planning will be a joy to participate in and one of our fondest memories after the fact.

So, while I anticipate including a lot of detail in our "itinerary" this detail will only show what is available to couples that wish to keep up a high level of activity. All couples should make their own decissions about participation. Nobody can do everything. But because of the diversity of interests of each of our couples I will try to include as many of the possibilities as is reasonable.
