Each year, a large number of families and couples make the decision to vacation in St. Thomas.  If you are interested in becoming one of those individuals, there are a number of steps that you should take to prepare for your St. Thomas vacation.

Many travelers mistakenly believe that vacation preparation begins the week or two before your vacation. If you are interested in traveling to the Caribbean or overseas, you will need to start planning your vacation well in advance.  This planning often includes obtaining a passport.  Passports can easily be obtained; however, they may take some time to process. Requesting a passport months before your vacation to St. Thomas is the best way to ensure that you will have it on time.

In addition to a passport, you will need other forms of identification.  A driver’s license is the best thing to bring along.  If you do not have a driver’s license another form of identification with your picture on it should be good enough.  Before leaving on our vacation, you may want to consider making copies of all of your important documents.  These copies may come in handy if you happen to loose or misplace the originals.  Read more...
