USVI
St Thomas, St Johns, St Croix -
The three islands and the 60 cays that comprise the
US Virgin Islands include some of the most magnificent
coast on earth. The area is host to nearly two million
vacationers each year. Most of the islands, cays and
jutting rocks that make up the territory are clustered
around the 30 square mile island of St Thomas which
lies 1000 miles south of Miami, 75 miles east of Puerto
Rico and just southwest of the British Virgin Islands.
St. Thomas has a year round temperature averaging
78°F. The ever-present trade winds keep the air from
being unbearably hot. In addition, the region reports
lower humidity levels than many of the other places
in the Caribbean, making it a vacation paradise in
both summer and winter. On nearly any day of the year,
there are many hours of sunshine. Rain showers do
come, but they're usually a welcome relief and pass
quickly. (Continued

Charlotte
Amalie, with its white houses and bright red roofs
glistening in the sun, is one of the most beautiful
towns in the Caribbean. The town is also filled
with historic sights like Fort Christian, an intriguing
17th-century building constructed by the Danes.
The town's architecture reflects the island's culturally
diverse past. A walk through town reveals its international
heritage. You will pass Dutch doors, Danish red-tile
roofs, French iron grillwork, and Spanish-style
patios.
Charlotte
Amalie, the capital of St. Thomas, is the only town
on the island. Its seaside promenade is called Waterfront
Highway or simply, the Waterfront. From there, it
is easy to follow any of the streets or alleyways
into town to Main Street or Dronningens Gade. Principal
links between Main Street and the Waterfront include
Raadets Gade, Tolbod Gade, Store Tvaer Gade, and
Strand Gade. The capital is known for its delightful
shops and patios, winding streets, and Old World
Continental flavor.
