Hi, jwsjls! I will start with the last question first. To me,the biggest problem with St Croix is that it is very remote. To get to St Thomas, you have to fly. They don't have the airlift to the mainland that St Thomas has, either.
That said, I believe that is the reason why so many like it there. Not a cruise ship destination, very rural and agricultural. I can't give you any insights on visiting, but if you are interested in moving there vimovingcenter.com has a lot of Crucians who would give you the skinny. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

You may want to read up on the local economy/crime since the Hovensa plant shut down (employed several thousand, down to a few hundred, I understand). Have a few friends who lived there at the time. They have since moved off island. Apparently, the shut down took its toll. However, it's a gorgeous island - beautiful beaches.
