The National Association for Amateur Radio (AARL) has a web site with all the regulations pertaining to USA hams using their radios abroad. Basically you can use your radio legally (following the correct procedures) in the French Islands under CEPT agreement and in Trinidad and Tobago or Venezuela under IARP agreement. For most of the the rest you should have  a local license, though you can operate in international waters if your vessel is the same registry as your license. Clearly International waters does not mean at anchor in an island!

The general AARL website is: www.arrl.org

The site pertaining to overseas operation is: www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/io/#IARP
