Arriving Late in St. Thomas? Plan Ahead

After a day of flights, connections and airport transfers, the last thing most visitors want to do is search for a grocery store. Planning ahead can make your first evening on St. Thomas far more relaxing.

Whether you're staying in a condo, vacation rental, private villa or arriving by yacht, having groceries waiting for you means your vacation starts the moment you walk through the door.

Travel Days Can Be Long

Many visitors spend an entire day traveling before reaching St. Thomas. By the time you've collected your luggage and reached your accommodations, you may not feel like making another stop.

Arriving to a stocked refrigerator means you can unpack, enjoy a meal and settle in without another errand.

Perfect for Families

Traveling with children often means hungry passengers by the end of the day.

Having breakfast foods, snacks, drinks and easy meals already waiting makes the first night much less stressful and helps everyone settle into vacation mode.

Stock Up Before You Arrive

Many visitors choose to order essentials before their trip, including:

• Coffee and breakfast foods

• Fresh fruit

• Sandwich supplies

• Snacks

• Bottled water

• Beer, wine and spirits

• Paper products

• Sunscreen and insect repellent

Ordering ahead means less time shopping and more time enjoying the island.

Ideal for Villas and Larger Groups

If you're traveling with family or friends, grocery shopping can quickly become a lengthy first-day activity.

Having everything delivered before your arrival lets everyone unpack, relax and begin enjoying the vacation together instead of splitting up for grocery runs.

Start Your Vacation the Easy Way

Your first day in St. Thomas should be about relaxing, not running errands.

Planning your groceries before you arrive is one of the simplest ways to save time, avoid unnecessary stress and enjoy more of your vacation from the very beginning.
