All US Virgin Islands vacations: Get out'n'about

"Pass the ketchup, please. "

Often, visitors to the Caribbean stay within the boundaries of their resorts. In the USVI, it's easy to get around, explore, and soak up some local ambiance.

On St. John, for example, you can rent a jeep for reasonable dollars, and the traffic's light. (St. Thomas is busier-- with left-hand drive!) Meanwhile, rates for colorful open-air "safari" taxis are controlled. Either way, you can sample activities, beaches, local restaurants-- such as this one on St. Croix with catty bar-tender.
