I'm looking for a Caribbean location to travel to from SF next month but here's the problem....?

I just applied for my passport (first time) and will be getting it in a week. I can't go to aruba since they want us citizens to atleast have their passport for 3 months before travelling.

I need to know first: Any island which will not require a US citizen to apply for visa.

2nd Question:The island travelling to should not have any sort of rules regarding how long I had the passport in my possesion.

Please help...really appreciate it.

Try Puerto Rico and the US virgin Islands

Why not go the the US Virgin Islands ot Puerto Rico? Both are territories of the US and wouldn't have the same restrictions for passports as independant countries with their own governmental agencies.

You read that wrong, you must have at least 3 months LEFT on your passport. (Travel Document) You fill out a form on the plane. You don't have to apply for a visa.

United States Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico. Great places. IF you are a US citizen you don't need a passport to travel to these places in the Caribbean.

Try the Bay Islands of Honduras for a nice vacation. No hassles
