Where in St Thomas did you stay?
Which one is another question!
Had a decent time but not so good to keep me from checking out more islands on the chain…
Both the Dutch and French sides of the island😊
St Maarten is on my list…
Much more comprehensive tourism infrastructure and the Dutch and French sides each had their own characteristics. I could envisage flying in here for a week of sun and sand and exploring - potentially island hopping to other islands close by on ferry.
