FI and I are taking our HM cruise and coming to St. Thomas on April 25th, from 11am-7pm.  What are some fun things to do there and would you and your FI be interested in meeting up?

Start your morning off right by heading STRAIGHT to a beach.  Even though I work in the shopping area, it really bothers me if vacationers don't head straight for the beach.  Magen's Bay is rated top 10 in the world, and we have it on our little island.  There is an admission ($4 pp), but it's totally worth it.  They have a bar for food and drinks. I can't even explain to you how soft the sand is and calm the water is. We made this our first beach stop when we moved here. It's simply gorgeous. 

If you're into snorkeling (or wouldn't mind trying), you should head to Coki Beach.  I had never snorkeled until I moved here, but it's such an awesome experience.  You'll either need to bring your own gear, or rent from the little stand.  I think it's $5 for the setup, a little extra if you want flippers.  The water is so salty, knowing how to swim really isn't necessary because you'll just float on top of the water.  If you have an underwater camera, this is a great time to break it out.  The only problem here is the workers are a bit annoying with chair rentals.  

After the beach, head to town.  Around 3pm, people are already heading back to the ships, so if you want to do some shopping, this is the time to do it.  

What boat will you be on?  We will have to work Wednesdays (they're fairly busy days in town/at the airport), but we can meet up with you after work to go out for a drink near your cruise ship dock!
