What to do in St. Thomas

Once home to various Indian tribes, Spanish settlers, and Danish conquerors, St. Thomas knows what it’s like to be passed along. Now-a-days, the main island of the U.S. Virgin Islands trinity seems to be passed by no one—evidenced by the tourists who flock here in droves. The 32-square-mile outpost sees more than 1.5 million sun-seekers per year, and the two-lane, waterfront Route 30 can be a traffic jam during regular cruise-departure hours. Charlotte Amalie, the capital city and “downtown” region of the island, is where you can browse knick-knack type shops, as well as the name-brand retailers you’d find state-side. If you tire of the hoopla—as you likely will—and want evidence of a more authentic island, tour old Danish sugar mills, regal militia forts, and Blackbeard's Castle, named after the pirate who is said to have frequented the spot.

I love to travel to St Thomas because of the relaxed and easy life styles of the people that I meet there. They have US language, currency, laws and convenient flights to and from many cities. The beaches are beautiful and there are many good restaurants, shops and activites.
