Why I love St. Thomas, U. S. Virgin Islands, so much

When I first decided to go down to St. Thomas, I had all the intention of visiting a new island every summer, going down the Caribbean chain one island at a time. I flew over the beautiful Bahamas, the terrific Turks and Caicos Islands, and in the distance I even saw Puerto Rico. As I approached the Caribbean islands, I looked out the window. And all I could see were lots of tiny islands ringed by the most perfect shades of turquoise, aquamarine, and Swiss blue I had ever seen. Before my plane even touched the ground, in fact, even before I got my first glimpse of St. Thomas, I said that THIS is where I wanted to live.

As time went on, and I discovered some of St. Thomas's beaches, I saw more and more of the beauty of that amazing, sparkling, clean, multi-shaded blue waters. In fact, due to some coral, there were even a couple of areas where the water looked more violet than blue! Where else could I have seen violet water? THIS was where I wanted to live.

Over time, and as the years progressed, I continued my visits to St. Thomas during the May to July quarter. And staying a little longer each visit. As I stood on the beach and looked out over that amazing water, I felt my stress, my fears, my worries, completely melt away. THIS was where I wanted to live.

Why do I love St. Thomas, U. S. Virgin Islands, so much?

It's all about the water.

After all, you have to love where you live. :D
