Sitter's Trip Report from Dec. '06....part 2
Sitter's Trip Report from Dec. '06....part 2
Sunday Dec. 3rd...Off to Sapphire Marina for a BVI day sail with New Horizon's II. Guess they were all filled up so they put us on a different one. Same trip, just different boat. Excellent day!! Couldn't have been more perfect....'cept for the guy that went out the night B4....he started ~yawning in many colors~ even B4 he got on the boat! 
Felt bad for him...but still kept my distance!
Met some real nice people & best part was the Baths! (& that I was able to get to the shore without looking like a baby....I really never learned how to swim!)
Tuesday we take the car ferry over to St. John & HAD to stop in to meet Ruth at St. John Spice. Very nice hubby too! We checked into Cinnamon Beach Campground & made sure I sprayed the place good with some Raid so when the girls come the next day it may be pretty close to bug free! Walked around the grounds & happen to run into Susanna, the lady who was to take Lindsay's pictures. Also met some people on the beach that live within 10 miles of our house back at home!! Small world!
First night sleeping in the cabin ....I have never heard soo many tree frogs that loud in all my life!! Then the nuts started falling from the trees on top of the roof....I'm not sure how much sleep I really got! And then the cold shower I had to endure....I'm not real sure if the girls are gonna dig this~
Wednesday Dec. 6th. Parked the car in town at “Slimmins” for $15 for the day & take the passenger ferry to Charlotte Amalie. Walked around a bit trying to find that dollar bus to get to the airport, but the locals didn't seem to want to share that information with us, so we hailed a cab. Was real excited to see the girls & they were soo happy to be greeted by some refreshing punch....or two! We took a cab downtown to Paradise Point & was real upset to find out that we couldn't take the tram up for the $5 fee because we only had a campground key & not a resort key. So we decided to just go back to St. John with the girls instead & go to a nice place to eat with them. So...another cab fee, then on the ferry over to St. John. We stop in to have the girls meet Ruth & she was nice enough to let them use her bathroom store their luggage so we could take them to Woody's. We had a blast at Woody's!! (Look on their website for our pictures) The girls made plans with 2 guys to go snorkeling the next day at Cinnamon, ....yea...right!! Back to pick up the car & head to the campground. All was well, & with enough Rum Punch, the girls had their first night in Paradise!! (Oh....Stephanie is 22 & Lindsay is 17)

Airport greeting
Isn't there just something so great about meeting loved ones at the airport/ferry dock on vacation?
We flew into two days behind my parents one trip and even though we had just seen them, they were partically jumping up and down waiting for us.
Thanks for stirring up good memories!
Did you have your daughter's senior pictures taken on St. John?
