Associated Press — Don't just sit there. Pick a destination and plan a vacation, maybe to someplace a little exotic, where national parks come with tropical beaches, and boats rather than big RVs are a common mode of transportation. You can enjoy all that without fretting over currency exchange rates or making sure your passport is up to date if you head to a little paradise called the U.S. Virgin Islands.

U.S. national parks are a little different here from what you might be used to. Visit the National Park Service ? http://www.nps.gov/state/vi/ ? to see what you can do at Virgin Islands National Park, including snorkeling and sailing. Drill down through "Plan Your Visit" into "Places to Go" to check out Trunk Bay with its outstanding beach and underwater snorkeling trail. And while accommodations can be a little pricey in the islands, it's possible to spend your nights camping, almost like mainland parks. Snorkelers especially like the Park Service's Buck Island Reef National Monument, Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument and the Salt River National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve.
