I've long since forgotten the specific names and such though.<br /><br />Never made it to St. Croix for whatever reason. I suppose I had no reason to go there.<br /><br />I could nevertheless see the shadow of St. Thomas jutting above the horizon from my house in Las Croabas some forty miles away.<br /><br />Kinda like seeing Russia from Alaska... :)S/V Blondie-Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268709289021314706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892977232770998356.post-26865257238145168702012-02-29T21:36:01.071-05:002012-02-29T21:36:01.071-05:00I agree, hated St Thomas every time I had to go th...I agree, hated St Thomas every time I had to go there. St John's is a wonderful place. I lived and worked on ST. Croix for a few years and still go back for a couple months during the summers. I should prefer the BVIs? Makes me wonder what you know. I'm sure my escapades in the BVI are long forgotten, I hope. The nurse I was seeing on Tortola is long gone, but for months I was a regular on the ferries between St Croix, St Thomas and Soper's Hole Tortola. Great adventures, great memories, great rum. Makes me miss the Caribbean.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002514163310901551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892977232770998356.post-14565660457851573752012-02-29T09:37:09.631-05:002012-02-29T09:37:09.631-05:00Thanks Don.

Its been awhile since I last did the tourist thing in St. Thomas and I disliked every moment while there.<br /><br />St. John's on the other hand was a delight.<br /><br />And from what I've heard, the BVI should be your preferred destination... not that I know first hand.S/V Blondie-Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268709289021314706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892977232770998356.post-79969953356832222732012-02-28T22:44:53.933-05:002012-02-28T22:44:53.933-05:00Nice post.

What people have told me it's what the USVI was like many years ago.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002514163310901551noreply@blogger.com
