Club Comanche Hotel Christiansted

... for an all-you-can-eat rum punch BBQ, and then finally sailed back to Christiansted. The day was incredible and the people, including the crew, were great. Afterward, we walked around Christiansted a little, then followed an amazing loop to Point Udall - the most easterly point in the United States - and then along the south shore back to Frederiksted. Awesome! The next day was sadly our last day, and since we still had the car, we made it up to ...

... I grabbed it! Although it was going to be a short trip (one way 20 mins.) to St. Croix, which is 35 miles away from St. Thomas and St. John, I knew it was going to be an exciting adventure! And it was ! We got the seats in the first row, and imagine our surprise when we saw that there was so "door" between the cockpit and us..just a small opening for the co-pilot to make the regulatory announcements to ...

... from "downtown" Cruz Bay with a laundry mat and a grocery store on each side of us.  People here are nice if you start out that way, and it seems they try to slow down their speech when they're talking to us mainlanders who seem to use too many fill words or something. Their sentence structure basically contains vowels and verbs and that's about it. I wish I could even imitate it cuz it's pretty cool sounding but ...

... before we come back. We can finally get excited about leaving tomorrow. Greg, our trusted house and dog sitter, will be here at 8am to help pacify the "kids" as we haul the luggage out to the taxi, which arrives at 8:30. First day will be spent checking in and walking/drinking/shopping/eating/drinki ng our way around Old San Juan. Ready for MOJITOS!!!!!! More tomorrow evening after we get settled in.

Things to do: St. Croix's rich culture and history, along with its beautiful beaches, unique tropical gardens and world-class recreational activities, create an experience unlike any other in the Caribbean. Since the day Christopher Columbus first arrived at Salt River on St. Croix more than 500 ...

... It may have already made your bulk/spam mail and you are not even getting the news? We have no idea about accessing computers during our adventure, but will give it our best try. We are going to be in Madrid (thanks to a lengthy layover a la American Airlines) for only 1 day. As most of you know, Bob and I will make the most of the ...

... had a beautiful house on a hill overlooking a beach - absolute paradise. It was one of the best weeks of my life (except for the bad sunburn which was entirely my fault) and I constantly wish I was back there. The diving was great and I spotted a bunch of stingrays, sea turtles, and reef fish (just don't snorkel at buck island if you're serious about diving - loads of tourists and all the coral was bleached).  A great place for sandwiches between dives is Turtles deli - I ...

... of the webcam. B and E are past masters at this and so we struck poses that made it look like we were dancing to hartley ! Then I went to board the katamaran, before you get on they make you take your shoes off, no explanation , no nothing. So being the sheep that I am I did it without question, stepped on the Kat and seered my feet ! Sit anywhere they said so I did. ' Ma'am you might not want to sit there as the sail might be swinging that way ' Marvellous, scorched feet and the ...

... completed our chores Bob drove us back to thier house. I may have mentioned it before, if I have bear with me, but B & E have retired here from the rat race of LA. And they really shouldn't be retired at thier age. They are both in their mid forties ! They decided, after scouring the carribean, to build a house on St. Croix. The plot they have is really a fabulous location. It's perched on top of a hill and from their terrace patio you see wonderful hills in front of you ...

... few days that we were there without her. We did go to St. John when there were 10 Cruise ships in the harbor. When those ships unload, it's like an entire city amasses in the streets. I was glad that we skipped over to St John where many of the cruiseship people weren't going due to lack of time in port. Kevin and I went snorkling again, as I had now turned him on to it, at Trunk Bay. Trunk Bay is supposed to have some of the best ...
