I did not realize you have to clear out of the BVI's prior to going to St John. Then clear into St. John. Returning you just clear into the BVI's? You do not have to clear out of USVI? This will be our fourth trip to the BVI's but we've never visited the USVIs.

We've been to Anegada on our last two trips so I'm thinking my wife just wants to do something different. I was thinking we would just stay the prior night in Norman then try to get to Cruz Bay as early as possible since their customs office opens at 7 am, but if we have to clear out of the BVI's prior to going into the USVI that throws a third step into the process. Have to think about the logistics and possibly stay the prior night in JVD. I just want to minimize our downtime.

Thanks again for all the feedback!
