Comprising three main islands โ€“ St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix โ€“ this time, the family and I visited St. Thomas Island, ready to soak in the sun and explore the Caribbean charm. ๐ŸŒดโ˜€๏ธ

A Rich History

Did you know that initially inhabited by the Ciboney, Arawak, and Carib peoples, the islands later became a crucial hub for European exploration and colonization in the Caribbean? The US Virgin Islands offer a unique blend of Caribbean charm and American influence, owing to its acquisition by the United States from Denmark in 1917. ๐Ÿ‡ป๐Ÿ‡ฎ
