My husband recently re-retired, and we are front-loading travel. My #AtoZChallenge posts this year will explore our adventures--some pre-retirement, some post. Today's location: (U.S.) Virgin Islands.
The U.S. Virgin Islands certainly deserve more photos than either my husband or I took. We ferried from St. Thomas Island to St. John Island, with Trunk Bay as our primary destination. St. John is home to the Virgin Islands National Park, and has an unique underwater snorkel trail.
We staked out a spot on the sand with a little pop-up beach tent, then alternated our time either snorkeling in the warm water or relaxing on shore. The underwater trail was fun to follow, and we swam along looking for each sign that described the fish and environment we saw beneath the surface of the water.

I recommend spending time at the U.S. Virgin Islands, and highly suggest taking more photos than we did! It's a spectacularly beautiful place and I hope to return again someday.
Come back tomorrow to see where in the world we'll visit next!
I've been to the Virgin Islands . . .but it has been quite a few years ago (long time!). I imagine they have changed so much!! I'm visiting from April A to Z -- trying to visit lots of blogs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteA great idea that little tent. Umbrellas tend to blow over. I'm another Lisa visiting from A to Z!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great item and folds up very compactly! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteWe were there on a cruise, that's about all I remember about it. LOL!

I don't know how many times I've told myself, "I'll remember this!" only to quickly forget.
DeleteThe Virgin Islands are definitely on my wishlist of places to visit. @samanthabwriter from

It's a beautiful place!
DeleteWe were there once when our family took a cruise. We weren't allowed to snorkel, no time after our parents made us take some kind of tour. Who knows, maybe I'll get there again.
ReplyDeleteYou probably saw more of the island than I did. We spent almost all of our time there at Trunk Bay. I would love to go again and explore more of the island.
