No plans Trip report- Final Installment
Travel Day
After a full nights sleep…imagine that , we got up early, ready to enjoy a few hours on the beach before a 3:52 flight…but it was cloudy. We decided, after much grumbling and whining, that we would pack up and take the 11am boat, have lunch at Gladys’ and do a little shopping in STT.
We cleaned up, packed up, gassed up the jeep and dropped it off. We were sad. This was such a quick trip, but we really were able to relax and neither of us wanted to leave.
A quick stop to STJ Spice to buy and ship my ornament exchange ornament, a quick hello to Pia and we were off.
I will not bore you with the remainder of the day. Lunch at Gladys’ was wonderful, Charlotte Amalie was mobbed and the airport has a new carry on only security that was super fast.
Here is a link to all my pics, less than 100, the camera took a break this trip.
Random Musings:
Helping a forumite will come back to you in surprising ways. Thanks Pip!
Meeting new forum folks is equally as good as hanging out with old forum friends.
Seeing Ruth makes me smile.
Capt John and Rachel are 2 things that make my trip.
Fresh air at night is over rated. Shut the window, turn on the AC, and enjoy the quiet.
When your over-worked, highly stressed husband says his soul feels good on day 3, you start looking for ways to get back to the island sooner than you had planned.
5 days is not enough, but for me, either is 25, so I take what I can get.
I don’t need a luxury villa with all the bells and whistles. I need a bedroom, a bathroom, a place to make coffee, and a kick a$$ view; everything else is just fluff.
After 5 installments, 100s of views, and only half a dozen comments, I am beginning to think that no one cares about my trip reports.
A less structured trip was just what we needed…and now the next chapter…when do we return?

Wrong. Trip reports are one of the best parts about this forum!Xislandgirl wrote:After 5 installments, 100s of views, and only half a dozen comments, I am beginning to think that no one cares about my trip reports.

Oops! Here you goliamsaunt wrote:Where is the link to your full set of pictures that you mention? You got some great sunset shots and I would like to see the others.
I am glad you had such a relaxing trip. It sounded like a really fun time.
