Holger Danske Hotel Christiansted

... I have toured St. Thomas and St. John and their painfully decadent beaches, so this time I wanted to check out St. Croix. The Virgin Islands are not only a special place, they are a "special" place (sing it, Church Lady!). It is probably the only place in the world where people drive on the left side of the road, but with North American cars (left side driver's seat/controls). You should try making a left turn here - holy blindspots! Fun stuff! This ...

... What a ripoff! You would be better off walking around the property yourself, than spending 10 dollars to just look at 3 rooms! We then concluded our tour at Fredericksted, where we were booked on one more first-time adventure- the ATV tours by Gecko's Island Adventures! (You can read our testimonial and other details on their webpage http://www.geckosislandadventures.com/t estimonial.htm) A definite ...

... m just a west coast girl. I'll get back to you with pictures and narrative, we're having fun hanging with our new friends but it gets dark so early that we have to make effort to not drink until a decent hour. It's 7:30 now and it's been pitch black dark for 2 hours, the bars are always open and people drink well before noon on a regular basis--Never-land for sure. Love you and miss you all, I'll get back to you soon!

Why is it that we always try to kill ourselves the few days before departure???? Always the case. But at 4:35 pm the house is clean except for a final floor sweeping in the morning and we're basically packed except for last minute toiletries. You'd think we were cruising around the world!!! WAY too much luggage. Hope we can afford the overage charge on the seaplane. Maybe we'll throw it all ...

... ago, sugar and rum have shaped the island's life and land. Fifty-four sugar mills, each with imposing windmill towers and factory chimneys, still rest in the shadows of stately eighteenth-century and nineteenth- century homes. Located on the west end of the island, Estate Whim Plantation is just one ...

... 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 ...

... it was really disgusting and there was one night when we were driving back after dinner and a movie (the movie theatre is one of the only air-conditioned places on island) and we passed the refinery on our way home. The flame was burning off some excess products, but it was such a haunting sight. The orange flame was enormous and really bright against the otherwise dark night sky; the first description that pops into my head of it is apocalyptic.  But I can't wait to go back.

... so etwas schon behaupten???? Wir haben uns dann zu 7 ein taxi genommen und sind gen osten gefahren. Dort waren wir dann an einem traumhaften fast weissen strand mit tuerkisblauem klaren wasser. Es war wie in der werbung! Dort haben wir uns dann erstmal ausgebreitet und die sonne genossen. Aber was waere die karibik ohne Reggae, schwarze Maenner mit Rastalocken und Cocktails, cocktails, cocktails..... wir haben es uns richtig gut ...

... is known for a particular bracelet called a cruzan hook , which fastens via a horseshoe hook. A lady called Sonya first started doing them in the 1960s. Every Cruzan who travels off island has one, it's a kind of identity tag. Bob and ev met someone with one in Alaska once! Also Sonya has created bracelets which represent the hurricanes that have hit the island. So people have multiple bracelets on thier wrists depending how many hurricanes they have been thru on the island. B & ...

... Bob to his credit made an excellent recovery very quickly, which might have sunk a lesser man. He'd been working all day in 90 degrees and loads of humidity. Again we whiled away much of the afternoon chatting ( as we had done in the car as well ) I think it's really nice for Evlyn to have me to talk to because she is just a professor in psychology who teaches while I am a frelance practitioner in the ...
