Perhaps today’s cover story on the coolest little island down off The Yucatan got you thinking about flying south. If not, how about this: It’s cold.

Don’t ask us why, but there’s this weirdness going on over at American, where fares to Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas are going for $248 RT next week, most of them via San Juan, but with non-stops for about $100 more. You can’t get a $350 RT fare to freaking Cancun in that timeslot.

Who knows how long it’ll last, so if you’re interested, look in to it here, right quick.

By the way, nobody says you have to stay put on St. Thomas if that bores you – in fact, if it were up to us, we’d say hop the ferry either to Tortola (pictured above) in the British Virgin Islands (not long, just an hour or so away) or St. John (closer).

Have a pleasant day.
