If you think of yourself as a sun worshipper as well as consider the winter months at home as a torment that must be avoided at all costs; then St. Thomas Island, the largest of the United States Virgin Islands is the ideal escape for you.
Do you even need a description provided to you? The name ‘Virgin Islands’ says it all. Uncontaminated blue sea, clean unspoilt beach sand and there is it always seems just the right amount of people. Just enough to create a healthy and happy atmosphere, but not enough to call it crowded. You can practical start feeling relaxed just by thinking about it.
Then there is the food, oh sweet heaven, the food. St.Thomas attracts some of the best chefs of the culinary world. That is because they are looking a wonderful place to work in; probably for the same reasons you are looking for a great place to vacation in. You and they can celebrate together in this, ‘food fantasia’.
After the incredible meal you are going to need some exercise and whether you like walking or running, a more beautiful landscape to do it in you will find difficult to find. The mountains are just high enough, not to be cold and provide the kind of view that will make you believe in God. Added to this, the native language is English and that means no misunderstandings from the guides. This does make things much simpler and more enjoyable.
St. Thomas, being a United States territory means that no passport is required if you are travelling from the U.S. and this further decreases the stress, sometimes associated with travelling. It will also mean the plane ticket will be reasonably priced and being an island, will be part of a cruise line route. So you are spoilt for choice as how to get there and doing it in style.
Further stress therapy, is in the form of the ‘Mahogany Run’ golf course. This course is world famous for the views one is blessed with while playing your favorite game. It seems the downside might be difficulty driving as people drive on the left hand side of the road. Look be honest with yourself, are you really going to be in that much of a hurry that you are going to need a car anyway. One would probably want to cycle anyway, to take in that full magnificent view all around you. This place beats a trip to the psychiatrist’s office any day, for its therapeutic value.
