Resort Newsletter Dated March 15, 2010
Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Are you thinking about a sunny, tropical escape this spring? If so, you
probably already know that anyone traveling from (or through) the U.S.
by air to an international destination -- including the Bahamas,
Bermuda, Mexico and the Caribbean -- is now required to present a valid
passport for re-entry to the United States.
But if you're a U.S. citizen and don't yet have a passport, you can
still travel to a tropical paradise in the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Puerto Rico or Hawaii. For these destinations, you will
need only a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver's license.
Here's a brief overview of these beach destinations in the U.S. and its
territories. Click any destination for a list of resorts there, and a
fast online quote, with or without airfare.
The U.S. Virgin Islands
are in the eastern Caribbean about 1,100 miles southeast of Miami, FL.
Its three beautiful islands -- St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix --
offer something for everyone, from secluded beaches and lush rain
forests to world-class, duty-free shopping.
On St. Thomas,
you can explore Charlotte Amalie, the bustling capital, or head to
heart-shaped Magens Bay, which is frequently labeled one of the world's
most beautiful beaches, perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
St. John
is a short ferry ride from St. Thomas, and two-thirds of it is dedicated
to Virgin Islands National Park, with white-sand beaches, scenic hiking
trails, swaying palm trees and sheltered bays. The park service has
established an underwater snorkeling trail at the beach at Trunk Bay.
St. Croix,
the largest of the three islands, offers 18th- and 19th-century
plantation homes, sugar mills and the Cruzan Rum Distillery.
Puerto Rico,
an island territory of the United States, boasts centuries-old
cathedrals and seaside forts, as well as natural attractions like the El
Yunque rain forest.
San Juan,
the Puerto Rican capital, is a popular tourist hub with fine dining,
shopping, colonial architecture and casinos. Its historic quarter, Old
San Juan, is a picturesque neighborhood of cobblestone streets, plazas
and narrow walkways. At the eastern tip of the island,
Fajardo
boasts a large boating community, which means excellent sailing for
visiting mariners.
Snorkeling and scuba diving are popular in
Isabela
on the northwest coast. On the southern coast, charming
Ponce
features well-preserved neoclassical architecture, streets lit by gas
lamps and a beautiful main plaza.
Rio Grande
is the gateway to the 28,000-acre El Yunque, a paradise for nature
lovers and wildlife watchers. Seven miles east of Puerto Rico's eastern
shore is
Vieques Island,
home to a national wildlife refuge.
Añasco,
Dorado,
Humacao
and Rincon
round out Puerto Rico's beach resorts.
Hawaii
is America's own tropical paradise, where a warm, welcoming
"aloha" awaits visitors to the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Kauai,
Oahu and Lanai.
On the island of Hawaii, also known as the
Big Island,
steam vents hiss and currents of lava flow at Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park. On
Maui,
visitors can browse the shops and art galleries of Lahaina, a former
whaling town, or follow the narrow, twisting road to Hana, a spectacular
scenic route.
Lush green mountains and exotic flora give
Kauai
its nickname, the "Garden Isle." You can take a boat tour up
the Wailua River, soar over the jagged green cliffs of the Na Pali Coast
in a helicopter or watch humpback whales return to the Pacific for
calving season.
Oahu
is home to Honolulu, the cosmopolitan Hawaiian capital, while Waikiki
Beach is lined with resorts that draw sun-worshippers from around the
world. Tiny, low-key
Lanai
offers a variety of outdoor activities, crystal-clear waters and quiet
beaches.
