St Thomas is all about the beaches and snorkeling, IMO. If you decide not to do St John (still on my wish list), Megan's Bay is lovely, Sapphire Beach is also very nice, and Coki Beach is not as peaceful but has fabulous snorkeling. After my excursions, I usually spend a bit of time at the bar right near the cruise terminal. I think it's called Mojo's Rum and Surf Shack & it's sort of in the middle of the road. They have swings at the bar and the bartenders have great personalities and pour a great drink.
I don't have any suggestions for St Kitts as we usually just wander around the port area. For us it has been the last stop on port intensive itineraries, and we are lazy by then. There is a little casino right near the pier, and just to the left of the main shopping area there is a little craft market where I have picked up some neat pottery. Lammie grabbed a taxi tour one trip, and said the island is beautiful. It is on our itinerary in March (last stop again) and we are thinking of taking the water taxi over to Nevisif we are'nt beached out by then. It is supposed to be gorgeous and have beautiful beaches.
I can't to see all your pictures and hear how much you guys love it!
