BOSTON, April 28, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The premier syndicated radio show travel expert host of Travel WITH Stephanie Abrams, broadcast coast-to-coast on the Business TalkRadio(c) Network, aired yesterday's edition live from the Club House of the Carambola Golf and Country Club in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. Abrams' visit completes the trilogy of broadcasts from the USVI, having aired shows from St. Thomas and St. John in January, 2008.
"We've gotten an amazingly warm USVI welcome here in St. Croix from management of hotels, attractions, tours, and local historians. Cosmo Williams introduced us to the Ebenezer Methodist Church Steel Orchestra comprised of fantastic musicians aged 6 through 16! I haven't stopped for a moment following an intensive itinerary to learn all about St. Croix!" Abrams states. "We owe special thanks to Dick Capra, Chairman of the Board of Carambola Golf and Country Club and their Club House Manager, Wendy Keeler, who designed our itinerary. From beaches to mountaintops, sugar plantation ruins, tropical plants that are integral to St. Croix's history, deep sea fishing, water sports, their undersea wall and trails, St. Croix has something for every taste and lifestyle," Abrams notes. "And Jacques Baheux, general manager of Carambola Beach Resort, showed us their secluded beach, featured in the final scene of the Eddie Murphy film, Trading Places."
Abrams remarks, "All roads lead to Ireland and St. Croix bridges that gap, too. The former home of Maureen O'Hara and her pilot husband, Captain Charles Blair, is located on St. Croix. We've featured Foynes Flying Boat Museum in Foynes, Ireland of which Maureen O'Hara is the godmother and Captain Blair, who piloted flying boats for Pan AM, is prominently featured. It's no surprise they had a home here."
