SUNNING IT UP IN ST THOMAS
- Think warm thoughts. That’s
probably what most of us are doing after a couple months of
winter. When it began getting cold in North Carolina, Athena and I
were very excited about going to St. Thomas.
-
- St. Thomas is a part of the U.S.
Virgin Islands so it is a breeze to vacation there. No language
barriers and you don’t have the hassle of converting money if
you bring in dollars.
- This was a place we headed when
we didn’t want to do much. No major exploring. Little site
seeing. Mostly just relaxing and enjoying the tropical weather.
-
- We stayed at the Sapphire Beach
Resort and Marina which ended up being the ideal location on the
island. We took a 30 minute cab ride from the airport to the
resort and never had to leave. Sapphire Beach is often regarded as
one of the 10 best beaches in the Caribbean. It also has the best
snorkeling on the whole island along with Coki Point which is
about 3 miles away. If you want to catch a ferry to neighboring
St. Johns it is only ½ mile away.
-
- Having the marina right there was
a huge plus if you take a sunset cruise or a day sail which takes
you all around the Virgin Islands and stops at a couple of reefs
for swimming and snorkeling. The yacht "True Love"
provides gourmet breakfast and lunch and doesn’t pack people on
like some of the other boats tend to do.
- If you are looking to get
warm and unwind, give St. Thomas a try.
