* Optics of trip being questioned as nation faces multiple crises 

* Bidens will be on island through New Year's Eve  

Joe and Jill Biden arrived in the U.S. Virgins Islands on Tuesday evening to spend the New Year's Eve in the sun as thousands of Americans remain stranded by canceled flights in the wake of winter weather. 

The Bidens, accompanied by grandkids Natalie and Hunter Jr. and daughter Ashley, arrived to 76 degree weather on St. Croix while much of the United States remained under a winter storm warming. 

Traveling on Air Force One presents no travel problems for the president - unlike unlucky passengers on Southwest Airlines where nearly 87 percent of flights across the U.S are canceled.
