You also wanted tips for excursions...Our first trip there we did the glass bottom boat and we were disappointed, the glass was cloudy and hard to see through, we went to the perfume factory which was interesting and the caverns were great, we really enjoyed the Horseshoe and Tobacco Bay beaches, we go back to them everytime we visit, and if you like snorkeling, Church beach is good. Taking the ferry to St. George is a nice ride and you get to see the island.
