U.S. Virgin Islands aka: VI, V.I.

My parents went on their honeymoon here and have always wanted to go back. Twenty years and three kids later, they brought me and my brother and sister here and it was amazing. There is so much local color here, the beaches are amazing and everything is so relaxed. I stayed on St. John’s Island, but I also spent some time on St. Thomas, both were great but I recommend St. John!

born and raised not the most tropical of the caribbean islands but still worth visiting

Simply beautiful….as is every where in the carribean.

I got engaged here!

Aside from that, the waters are beautiful and the snorkling superb. Stay at Maho Bay camps in St. John if you want a more “eco-friendly” vacation (just be sure to bring your bugspray).

My aunt and uncle lived here for ten years. They lived on St. John, but my uncle took the ferry to St. Thomas everyday for work. It is soo beautiful there! My first “real photographs” that inspired me to pursue photography were taken here. Granted, this was about six [or more] years ago, when digital cameras weren’t around, so I don’t have any of the pictures on my computer. It’s truly beautiful though, and I definitely recommend it.
