11 ) We have been to St. Thomas and we love it. We are tired of the long, cold winters and are ready for a change. We think now is the best time to go since we have no children and only ourselves to worry about. We want to live where things are not so fast paced, where the weather is always warm and we can take a break from the craziness of living on the mainland. We feel that the USVI are exactly what we need right now and maybe indefinitely 🙂
