It’s time for the annual escape-from-the-Midwest-frigid-temps, and this year I was going to recommend the U.S. Virgin Islands – St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix. These territories are located in the Caribbean about forty miles east of Puerto Rico.
I had the opportunity to visit two of the islands, St. Thomas and St. John, a few years ago. Both truly seemed like paradise with their tropical climate, turquoise blue waters and white sand beaches.
Unfortunately, in September 2017, the islands suffered catastrophic damage from hurricanes Irma and Maria. Today there is still much work to be done as efforts continue toward recovery and rebuilding. We’ll keep the island people in our thoughts and prayers and look forward to the day when they all have electricity and dry homes, land is restored, and more businesses and resorts are open.
Below are a few pre-hurricane photos:

Wishing the U.S. Virgin Islands the best as they recover from the devastating storms.
