Default St. Thomas, USVI
So my wife and I got back from spending the week in St. Thomas, which is part of the US Virgin Isles. The place is BEAUTIFUL! We both had a great time and really enjoyed all of the views, so I thought I could share a few with yall. We also got to snorkel with tarpons, flounder, and many other varieties of fish! O we also went to St. John's Trunk Bay, and we definitely see why National Geographic named it one of the most beautiful beaches!

I enjoyed St. Thomas and St. John. St. Croix left a little to be desired though.

Hands down the best snorkling I've ever done, was on those two islands.

You can go to the mountains anytime! Lol show her the pics. If you do go, I wouldn't stay at sugar bay that's where we stayed and the food was garbage. We heard that bolongo bay is excellent, pools and pavilions is supposed to be nice. We even heard the best western is super nice.

St John is a great laid back island and the snorkeling there is the best. You can rent a private home with a pool for what a condo in Destin costs. Been there several times and wil be back in a couple yrs.
