What island is going to change my life and make me never want to take another mainland USA beach trip again?

| Name one. Doesn’t matter the country or territory, just send me down a rabbit hole. |

| Galapagos. But don’t stay on the islands; instead, take one of the boats that has about 25 passengers. It’s small enough to have a ton of personal interactions with the guides but big enough to avoid sea sickness. Seeing the Galapagos totally changed me—I fell in love with earth and the ocean in a way I hadn’t expected. Truly beautiful! Worth the $$. |

| Once I visited Hawaii 25 years ago, any mainland beach vacation was just ok. We were lucky enough to be able to move to Maui 7 years ago. |

+1. I haven't been to St. John but it's on my list to try. I went to Turks & Caicos 15 years ago and felt this way, but it doesn't seem as safe any more. |

Tanna in Vanuatu. The Marquesas - all of them. Vava'u in Tonga. For an atoll, probably Fakarava - for the sharks.
All very good places. |

| Anguilla or Eleuthera. The former has better restaurants, fwiw. |

| By the end of my trip to the Exumas, I was looking at property listings there. Seriously, it is truly paradise. |
