On your next trip to the VI try TJIG airport in San Juan Puerto Rico. TJIG is next to the old San Juan (10 min drive) full of Spanish history and very old buildings such as El Morro Castle. Back in 1513 the first Spanish governor of PR Juan Ponce de Leon departed PR NW bound and discovered Florida and the US mainland. Old San Juan has a lot nice restaurants and historic places to visit. The city resemble old Spain. Puerto Rico became a US territory since the Spanish/American war back in 1898 before it was a province of Spain. English and Spanish are widely spoken so you will not have any problem talking to the people.

To get to TJIG file to> ZBV > A555 > DDP > TJIG . No need for US Customs upon arrival if you do the trip nonstop. However on departure (nonstop to the US) your plane needs to be inspected by the US Department of Agriculture USDA to insure no local fruits are on board. Do not have this inspection done on week ends or Holidays unless you want to pay $200.

TJIG is a true GA airport with fuel and FBOs
