I'm thinking about going but despise mosquitoes. I'm living in Manhatten now. Its either the Virgin Islands or all the way West to Maui. What do you think?

There is no "mosquito season" per say. The only time there is a significat increase in the # of mosquitoes is after the impact of a hurricane. This is due to the massive amounts of standing water that is a result of the rain from the hurricane. Otherwise in the evenin and at night use bug repellent and if possible wear long pants. You will be fine. Also if you stay in an airconditioned hotel or villa you wont have to worry about mosquites when you are sleeping at night.

after rains is when it's the worst where it's really damp, and besides for the occasional rainfall you shouldn't worry too much. It's not hurricane season in march so there shouldn't be an insance amount of rain.
so there's not much to worry about, enjoy your trip or stay, where sunscreen and stay away from anything too scented which attracts them.
it's beautiful there. you'll love it.
