  • My friends and I pack up our day bags and see what the beaches of eastern St. Croix have, to explore. We'll find tons of cool shells and get a look at some gorgeous scenery at Jack's Bay and East End Bay on this amazing island!

    Such beautiful shells! Maybe someday we get there but for right now we will live vicariously through you. Out of curiosity, if you were on a cruise how did you get around the island?

    • @solaceinshelling6552
      @solaceinshelling6552  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hello! St. Croix is very beautiful and would highly recommend a visit.
      St. Croix was one of the port of call stops on the cruise. I researched a couple of potential shelling locations of interest ahead of time on the island. I rented a car for the 9 hours we were docked at the island and drove to the locations - was able to get back with plenty of time before ship departed.
      Thanks for watching!

      Hello! Right now I live in NYC, so I don't have a super ton of space - most shells are in tupper-ware containers, but I am always thinking of new ideas for display especially when the time comes to get a bigger place!

      @solaceinshelling6552  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! So I had to do a little research before hand regarding taking shells back on board. I can only speak to my experience on this one trip, but I didn't have any issues taking a few small shells back on boat. I had them in my pockets as I heard this is the best way, but my friends took a couple larger ones in their bag and it wasn't an issue at all!

      Hello, I can only speak to my experience. I have traveled to a few places in the Caribbean and have never had a problem bringing some shells home in my suitcase. While visiting St. Croix, I was on a cruise, and brought most of the shells found in this video back on the cruise and home on the plane without issue. I do want to reiterate however, that I can only speak to my experience! Hope you have a blast on your trip!
