Vicki!
There is nothing like a delicious trip report to start a cold and busy Christmas Eve!
You are a fab photographer & writer! You should quit your day job and work for the USVI Tourism Dept!

Thanks for taking us with you! Merry Christmas~

What an amazing trip report and pictures!!!! I always get a chuckle when reading your reports :lol: . I agree with Augie, your friends antics made for some good humor. Who in the heck would sit in the car instead of walking to The Bubbly Pool? I can't even imagine what they thought of Ivan's.

Thanks for taking the time to post such a detailed and humerous report. Bravo!

Thanks for the trip report. It was a fun read. Oh, and thanks for naming a dying plant after me...I'm touched, really, I am.

Vicki, very nice trip report. I'm honored that you named your pretty plant after me and Butkus thinks it's pretty cool too! Glad that you were able to make the best of a bad situation with your travel companions. I know I would not have fared as well. We NEVER travel with friends. Even our good friends. You have the patience of a saint.

Incredibly well written trip report and gorgeous photos, as always. Who knew you could make such an artistic photo from from jello shots?


I'm curious if your friends liked anything in St. John----the house maybe? Did they enjoy Soggy Dollar? I won't ask about Ivan's.

One other thing I'd like to mention. It is my personal preference to read a trip report that is complete. I have a hard time with the ones that are in parts. With the set up of the forum, it can be a pain digging around trying to find them in order. Just my opinion...

Thanks again, Vicki.

Catchy, humorous, endearing...perfect TR as always. Glad you had fun. Very glad you didn't let the "they don't get it" peeps get you down. Reading about Taboo made me smile. I hate that he has all those "friends." My kid and he are soul mates. Very nice Vicki girl; oh yeah, and beautiful pics. Shocker. Damn if those Gromit jello shots aren't calling to me right now. Thanks for sharing!!!

Awesome report and gorgeous photos as always.

I was wondering the same thing as Jim is. What's their take on St. John overall? Just kinda curious. Did you guys have conversations about St. John on the way home? Like "Hope we can come back soon" (I guess you didn't, at least with them, huh? :wink: )
