I was sick with a virus now catching up on vlogs!! Big up to the Trinidad and Tobago Curry Chicken roti!!! I promise you when you do visit TT, you will leave 20lbs fatter lol , our foods are 10/10/10 lol just be safe cause crime here is wild.
Swimming with a beautifully colored turtle in crystal clear sea water must have been an amazing experience,Chris.I also like walking on beaches,around sand castles,every now and then I meet a crab or a hermit crab pulling a borrowed conch,so I enjoyed your video very much.Thank you!👍
Sorry, I almost missed the message notification, and I just watched this video now!
Thank you for introducing a place I am unfamiliar with!
That turtle must think you're a stalker, haha!
Those two flavors of popiah/burrito/stuffed spring rolls look delicious!
The scenery from that viewpoint is so beautiful, thank you very much for sharing it to us! 👍😍🙌
Cheers!
@@JumpingPlaces Cheers! 🍻
I possibly cant express my long term love enough for this channel and its creators, Carol & Chris 🥰
Ive been relaxing myself after work for a few years now by watching these travels across the world.
One simply cannot find better travel related content on TH-cam than Jumping Places 👍
You're the best!
I was born and raised in the US Virgin Islands(St Croix) and I really enjoyed watching this video.
Nice! Where do you live now? An american guy that has been living on St Thomas for decades told me that the majority of the locals that were born on St Thomas have actually left to mainland U.S for better opportunities. So he said that many of the workers are actually from other caribbean countries, do you know if that is true?
@@JumpingPlaces I still live here in St Croix.
I agree the video was nice. I am also from St. Croix but I’ve never visited St. Thomas. It was amazing to see how Charlotte Amalie and Christiansted have so many similar buildings. I felt like I was walking down the street in Christiansted.
Wow, you had to pay to enter a beach? That is new to me. Thank you
You guys are my favorite travel vloggers. I hope you never stop creating content
Happy New Year, Chris and Carol!
Love the content @jumpingplaces please keep sharing
I'm going soon, so I am so excited you dropped this vid!
Very beautiful place. Thanks for showing!!
Great video guys…I was there a number of years ago and loved it…So nice to see this all again…
Wife and I vacationed on St. John right before we moved back to Houston from nj. Loved out time there very laid back and beautiful. Thnks for the great travel,video’’s you are the best. I’ve been watching since cris was living in Houston and you’re so relaxing and educational to watch. Keep up the great content and sharing your laid back personalities with us.
Great video! And a small world- we live right above the Sugar Apple! Glad you enjoyed your stay on St. Thomas.
Hello guys. I live on St Thomas and have never watching your videos before. I think you did a great job showing our beautiful island. I especially like the history you added. That’s great 🎉
St. Thomas is definitely one of my favourites!
Great memories of snorkeling in Megan’s Bay!
Beautiful captures, enjoy
Many thanks
Once again great music, video and information. Thanks for the ride along.
Our pleasure!
Remarkable video to watched today at home in great joy at this remarkable island in January of 2024❤❤❤Thanks you so much for this amazing video today in 2024❤❤❤
Beautiful! Can"t beat swimming with the turtles. Awesomeness! 😊
The best!
Would love to see a video of Angullia, British West Indies, you take a ferry over from Saint Martin, it's been 35 years since I've been there, i absolutely loved it, beaches for miles and the food was incredible! Lots of Reggae too!
Very nice, I love the video, beautiful view .
Yesss, please do Trinidad and Tobago. Would love to see you all visit the smaller island tobago! The food is phenomenal. If you go to Maracus beach, be sure to get a bake and shark
We will!
Yes I think you guys will love it.
Great job you guys. All the best for 2024.
Love the footage with the sea turtles and view from the fort. From friends who have been to St John I believe that should be more relaxed so looking forward to that video.
Video from st john coming this weekend :)
It’s definitely one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean! Making me very jealous from cold Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
The funny thing is, Jamaica and several Caribbean islands were supposed to be part of Canada, but Canada rejected it.
Recently found your channel thru Delightful Travelers! Loving your videos too 💯👍
Welcome aboard!
11:46 Chris, I’m impressed with the turtle shots you managed to get here without a mask! Just spent a week diving in Roatan, Honduras and didn’t see a single turtle!
Carry on.
Pristine waters. Fantastic footage of the turtle, and lovely pictures on the wall in the Indian cafe. Loved it. 👍😊
Many thanks
When I had visited I stayed over on Lingbergh Bay which is on the other side of the airport opposite of Brewer's Bay. I really enjoyed it there, I thought the beach was of one the better ones in St. Thomas. But I was underwhelmed when I visited Magens Bay. St. John was definitely the highlight of my trip! Hope you two enjoyed it!
We go to lindbergh bay in a video coming soon :D Weather wasn't too great though so we couldn't really see how beautiful it really is. St. John was also our highlight :D
Very nice place
🏖️
Thanks for sharing u guys need to come to Trinidad and taste our Roti and doubles.❤❤🇹🇹🇹🇹
Very beautiful 👍🌺
I am Brazilian but have American residence. Lived at L A for almost 30 years and was about to apply for be a citizen when the Corona wave begun in Italy. Thought if is there is a matter of time to get here, had my mother living all alone in our big home here in Rio. Have to go and be with her. She is 91 and even with hired help having her son near by will make us both feel better. Now still here, and been going to Sarasota where my good friend lives and the base of our future business. He has one 38ft sailboat moored at his home, and I will buy my own at least 42ft. Will be also home while I look for a place at The US V Islands where what we been planning comes real. Hope we make it
Swimming side by side with a turtle is cool!😃👍
Cool 👍🏻🌴🏰
Love Magens Bay Beach. Can get a little crowded, but overall a nice sandy beach and the wind usually isn't that bad. Fish Bar on the North side is a must try next time!
Muito bom essa ilha 🇨🇦🇧🇷🇨🇦🇧🇷
We love going next door to St John. Its our favorite island.
We loved it also, video coming soon
A ... soft a, A Mal ya. A mal ya. 2 roti and 2 coke = $33. Whoa! Unreal! I would go for a pate or two ! Roti used to be sold on the main drag downtown, a mobile cart, for about 2.50 each usd. Things change! lol. Udder Delight, best milk shakes ever! Near Magens Bay. Used to be good, probably still is! :) Lived in St. Thomas for about 15 years. Best place to live ... on a boat! Boating community was the Best!
Staying there is crazy expensive for sure, good you found a cheaper place to stay for you accomadations. That roti burrito meal would have been around $25 in California. Glad you were able to enjoy the sights and flavors of St Thomas Virgin Island.
We were in PR, StThomas and DR last week with Norwegian cruise ship( the one in the port that you can see in your video)All together very nice places to see and enjoy ❤
I was going to ask what differences did you see between BVI and USVI but I think you just answered it at end of this video....great views from balcony and from top of hill...all the best guys. ❤
Cheers, yes the appearance is pretty identical but it's definitely way more touristy and busier on st thomas at least
Amazing
It's fascinating to me that they still drive on the left side of the road in the US VI.
The only US territory that does it apparently, not sure why
I love indian food too.
Still looks like paradise to me 😄 Pitty with that wind though. Take care you two ♥♥
Sure is :D
ASSISTI O VIDEO E CURTIR PRINT ❤❤❤
Good morning guys, cheers.
Morning!
TH-cam La Morne beach - Mauritius. Thats where i was yesterday. Can't wait to see you guys cover Mauritius.
The wife and I were married on Lindquist Beach aka Smith Bay Beach many years ago. It was a calm and beautiful day.
St. Thomas is nice, I hope Carol hit you up for a piece of jewelry in the main strip there ha ha!
Should visit bonaire and go diving. Stay at bellafonte. It’s gorgeous! More affordable there than aruba and a very different vibe.
Hey Chris and Carol happy new year, when you are coming to Trinidad and Tobago I live here , I can Carey you for some good roti and show you around
You both look good
I hope you guys went to Honeymoon beach St john I look forward to the vlog
St. Croix is nice too..Come on over!
Didn't have time to visit there on this trip since it is a bit far. Heard great things about it though, apparently it's more of a local vibe and more affordable?
Carol and Chris, I visited St. Thomas about 35 years ago! I would never go back due to the traffic and “Americanization”. The BVI seemed much more charming. By the way, I am a long time viewer and would love for you to visit my town, Palm Springs, California 🌴🌵I would love to show you around, this is a charming, vibrant desert paradise! Take care. Tchau👋🏻
Well that's why it called the US Virgin islands. What do you have against Americans
@@bandit4truelove126 nothing. I am an American 👍
@@fosterapp so you don't want us in the USVI to enjoy modern amenities as you have in the states or you would rather seeing us here in St thomss to be living in grass huts and riding donkeys. Everywhere people are looking for a better standard of living and the USVI is no different. That's why so many people from the other Caribbean migrate to st thomas for a better standard of living as you see what's happening at the US southern border.
@@bandit4truelove126 fair enough. Thanks for the feedback
Please do come to Trinidad and Tobago. I've recently started watching some of your vids (Tortola and Nepal) and I love your content. I'm the owner of a 3rd generation roti shop (started by my grandparents back in 1954) and would love to have you at my roti shop to try real, authentic Trinidad-Indian food.
Very nice and happy to get a good view of it, as I probably will not get here personally. Did I notice that they drive on the left side here? Strange.
13:23 "danger,do not enter" "whoa!" (enter) 😂😂
That six pack is starting to pop. The gym is paying off. Pretty soon we'll be calling you the British William Taudien!
That room/flat was like a Friends colour scheme
It sure is nice to visit these places but also very expensive 😢
So nice to see your video. We were there in November from the cruise ship and yes it is part of the “tour trap” to go to Megan’s beach but we love going to beaches regardless . Not as busy when we went. Everything was more expensive compared to the other islands we stopped at. Strongly US influenced of course.
Nice, which other islands did you visit?
St Maarten, Antigua, St Lucia, Dominica, and St Kitts
Which did you like the most? hoping to check those out some day too :D
We didn’t see enough to make an accurate comparison but from our short visit it would be st Kitts, st Lucia, st Maarten Antigua and st Thomas and last Dominica
St Thomas is not my favorite but full of shops and businsses.I like Tortola.U will like St John.Mostly National Park and great snorkeling as it's a marine preserve.
Hey Guys,
Hello from Canada ….Long time viewers ( just back from Portugal and Spain based on your videos)… watching your adventures in us Virgin Islands and my wife loves Carols sun glasses, what make are they ???…
Bom dia tudo bem ❤❤❤
Hi I am from Mumbai India, Your all videos are excellent. please make plant to visit India too.. India is a huge country with huge diversity having varied language,culture and more of all excellent Food !
Crystal Clear Waters
Do you have a link to the St Thomas accommodation? Thank you!
Chris and Carol, you visited the US Virgin Islands?
Ah St Thomas is so beautiful ❤ can you please tell us what your sunglasses are?
It sure is :D They are no specific brand i don't think
In downtown, the best to eat is The green house 😊
thanks for the tip :D
Do you guys have a video of St. John U.S. Virgin Islands ?
If you would have walked further down brewers beach. You would be on little john brewers beach. There is a complete plane, submerged in 50ft of water. Its very rare to have plane wrecks in the sea.
I did one of my diving certificate dives there in 1989.
Brewers is good to sea sting rays and 3ft barracuda on the right day
Thanks for the info :D
Magen’s Bay is beautiful but gets too crowded. I go early to get a picnic table as chairs are expensive and you have to drag them yourself. One and done.
Thanks for the tips!
It’s definitely more commercialized there in the USVI. You can tell. Not my thing.
St. Croix is also USVI but not as commercialized as St. Thomas. It is more laid back, you should visit St. Croix
Hi, I was wondering if Waze or any kind of GPS is available on the island? I’m planning on renting a vehicle and don’t want to get lost lol.
Hey which rental car company you guys used while on St Thomas? We are going there next week and are thinking to rent one both for driving in st Thomas and St. John’s. Thanks!
The best thing about this video was Carol walking out of the water (shes so beautiful) and the Charlotte Amalie Lookout. It's too expensive and run down for my taste.
St. Thomas is high density and every one from the other islands go there to shop.
Lived on St Thomas for 30 yrs. Where did you stay for $130 ? Thanks 🌴🤗 when I first moved there in 1974, the local jail and police station was at the fort 🤭, until they built there new location on the other side of the parking lot.
I really hope you 'll go back to India! ❤ 🙏
can you share the link of video which was your first video , mean you both first time video
What drone do you have ??
U should go to st croix
reason for diving left hand drive car on left lane?
Do you know prices of Taxes in st thomas?
Seems like Cala Bono
What hotlel is that in St. Thomas?
❤❤❤
Nice! 😊
Trinidad and Tobago makes the absolute BEST roti and indian delicassies. Its the food mecca of the caribbean. The land of steel pan, calypso, soca and the infamous carnival which is the greatest show on earth!
Why do they drive on the left?
👍👍👍
St. John is whoa expensive
Really enjoyed seeing st Thomas’ island (😅my idea of st Thomas’ is the hospital here in central London where I spend far too much time!) very beautiful capital but all these gigantic 🚢 😔 and paying beach 😳🙄 … I can see the appeal but I’d agree BVI would be much more to my personal liking! Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹!? I’d love that I hope you will go! They have this protected area for these very rare birds called scarlet Ibis They are incredibly beautiful when they come down flocking at sunset (check it out) y😉 Also mentioned India ? I was thinking how about Sri Lanka 🇱🇰? … just saying …😊
Anyway looking forward to see what you make of Saint Johns’
Take care
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
We have visited sri lanka before also but would like to go back again :D india is mainly because we want to see the indian himalayas and see how the experience compares to the himalayas in nepal which we loved so much
@@JumpingPlaces I can’t blame you! India is something. One of my favourite serie of yours, actually both of your series from Nepal 🇳🇵 are some of my favourites ❤️ Himalayan trip would be a dream for me … Looking forward to see where you go after the USVI Have Fun
Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Love the VI Thanks for the content. We have been following you guys for a long time. We hope to see you in Isla Mujeres again soon! If you would like to go sailing, our friend Bobby from Sailing Doodles on TH-cam is looking for a collaboration. I hope you guys connect. See you in the next episode
Cheers, USVI is the last stop in the Caribbean for now. The next videos will be from the other side of the world
👍🙂
The US Virgin Islands is the only place in the USA you drive on the left. .I was surprise
