Guilty Pleasures

Here is the Seattle area we have been dealing with a lot of snow and rather cold weather for us.  This has me dreaming of the tropics.  And since I don't want to go thru the hassle of getting a passport I am thinking the US Virgin Islands would be a great place to spend a bit of time to warm up.

It is just a beautiful location and while you could just spend time of the beach, there is so much more to enjoy.  And I have to admit that while lazing on a beach sounds wonderful about this time, I tend to burn to easily so I am more apt to check out some of the culture.  I would definitely want to experience the local foods and hit up some of the artisan markets.  And let's not forget the music.  I am probably not up to dancing anymore however I wouldn't mind sitting in a bar, having a MaiTai and enjoying the music.

So has anyone been there and what did you think of it?
