Hi could someone please give me directions from the airport in STT to the Cost U Less and then on to Red Hook? BTW, does anyone have a favorite car barge company - I noticed there were three listed. Thanks

Turn right out of the airport and continue along the waterfront through several lights until the very end where you take a left at the light. The WICO cruise ship and Havensight Mall and Yacht Haven Grande will be on your right. A Pueblo Supermarket will be kitty-corner across the street and you'll pass by (on the left) a small KMart and MacDonalds, etc. Stay in the right lane at the next light and go right onto Rte 38. You'll go up Raphune Hill which segues into Weymouth Rhymer Highway, A couple of miles down the road you'll come to a traffic light and a big sign on the left for Market Square East. Turn in there and you'll see CostULess right there.

When you come out of CostULess, turn left and continue on Rte 38. If you need to stop for anything else go into the Tutu Park Mall which will be on your left and where you'll find the big KMart and the supermarket Plaza Extra. Continue on Rte 38 after Tutu Park Mall and at the second light turn right to continue on Rte 38 which will take you past Wyndham Sugar Bay, Point Pleasant, Sapphire, etc. and all the way into Red Hook where the ferry terminal will be on your left.

Just take whichever barge is leaving first and best advised to get a one-way ticket as they don't honor each other's tickets and you don't want to get hung up on your return trip.

Hope that helps!

By the way, CULess has used cardboard boxes you can pack your purchases into but no baggers or bags, so bring your own bags. They sell the big freezer shopping bags there which will keep stuff cold/frozen until you reach STJ or bring a soft-sided collapsible cooler with you.

Our family of 6 will be staying at Bolongo for 3 days then on to STJ for 5 days (and another 6 in BVI).
We will need meat, vegies, milk... Should we load up at Pueblo or is there anything else on Hwy 30 to Bolongo? We could also go to CUL on hwy 38 if it's a better grocery store.
And where else before going on car barge to STJ?
I am following your directions from a map on www.stthomasthisweek.com which is a real lifesaver.
2 more months. We are ready.
Thank you all,

Tom

Cost-U-Less is a much better place to buy milk, veggies and meat. You can stop by Marina Market on your way to the car barge to get any items you couldn't find...
