The U.S. Virgin Islands began welcoming tourists back on June 1, among the first of the Caribbean islands to do so.

Picture this: You’re perched under a beach umbrella watching gentle waves lap the shore, a sea of crystal-clear water stretching before you toward an orange-gold setting sun. Your skin is bronzed from a day’s worth of Vitamin D; your hair is happily crusted in salt; you’re taking lazy sips of rum punch with a smile, lost in a tropical-island reverie.
