First trip , recommendations please
 
Could anyone please recommend the best location for a Mar.14-22,2008 trip for family of 4, sons ages 23 & 19. We enjoy beautiful beach, clear calm water,snorkeling a must, shopping, restaurants, fishing, gambling nearby a plus. I could do beach/snorkeling all day, but DH needs some activities. What air & water temps could we expect that time of year? Crowds? Flying fom Ohio.Have been looking at Harbour Island, but think it may be too quiet for the guys. Not really interested in Atlantis type resorts.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Check out Grand Cayman. Has everything but gambling.
Quite expensive, but 7 Mile Beach area is worth it.
Air temp-84 to 88. Water temp is beautiful. You'll never get chilled.......I would recommend a car. Driving is on the left.. Sting Ray City is a MUST
ps.. one of the safest islands in the caribbean.

You have three choices of Caribbean islands that will meet all of your needs. Aruba, Puerto Rico or St. Kitts.

What about St. Croix?

Iagree with Grand Cayman. It has everything you need except gambling. If you really wanted the gambling Aruba would be a great choice. You can get around very easily by bus there too which I always find a plus.

I agree with Steviegene- what about St. Croix?
