I'd like your advice on choosing a spot to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary in February, 2012. Never been to any of the Carb. islands. We enjoy off-the-beaten path type things; outdoor adventures; ie, hiking, exploring, beaches, some water sports. Thanks.

Congrats!

St. John is fun if you like hiking, more than half the island is Virgin Isl. National Park. There was an earlier post from someone about a VRBO unit, Egret's something or other which sounded great. We were at Gallows Point and liked the proximity to Cruz Bay restaurants and shops.
If you want to walk for miles on the beach...
TCI, notably West Bay Club in Caicos, would be great. Aqua Bay Club on Grand Cayman is good, too. Both have great beaches and great snorkeling. Have a great trip.

Thanks so much for your help. Looks like I have some great ideas to choose from.

Looks like you're looking for Bonaire! For more info: http://www.bonaireresources.com/

It's part of Holland but very popular with American divers. Top snorkeling and diving destination.

I have three tips for you...
