Hey, Vicki, just wondering if you've ever received a ticket or summons for a moving violation. I'm guessing that you haven't.

What a great report! We had a blast with Clark too. He really is the best.

Your pictures are awesome too.

That was a fun read. I love the part about getting chased by the donkey...ending with, "jackass." Good stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to put it together.
Wisconsin, smell the dairy air

Vicki...Great report! Loved your sardonic sense of humor. "Nekkid cat." "Jackass." Very good stuff. And wonderful photos, too. Thanks for taking the time to share with us!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! I agree with Jorge, but I will go one step further, one of the best trip reports EVER!!! I had a horrible, sad day and I am feeling very homesick for St John and this is just what I needed!

Great photos, what kind of camera did you use and did you use the same camera for your underwater shots?

I am so glad you and obsessed had great alone time, s/o and I do not travel together, so I always arrive a day early and I really enjoy my time alone!

Thank you again Vicki, maybe in the future you will join our womens trips!

Loved your photos!! Loved your report!! But yet another trip report that includes a shark. :shock:
I'm so afraid of sharks, I'll be the one eaten by one.

A couple of comments:
1) Don't think your old at 37. You're at the best stage of your life!! I think Kelly Ripa is about your age and she's doing pretty well.

2) You don't need Betty Ford if you drink alone on STJ. I'm not sure about other places, but def. not STJ.

3) You have convinced me that I need one more trip this year. Alone!! (Although that 25 year old sounded kind of interesting!)

Cameras: Most pics were taken with a Canon Digital Rebel Xti, most that have me in them were taken with a Canon Powershot Pro (it has a remote feature I like), and the underwater pics were taken with a Casio Exilim. Yes, I am a geek that takes 3 cameras on vacation…I used the autocorrect feature on Picasa on most of the photos. No additional editing, because I’m just not that smart.

Obsessed: I’m glad you had a good time! I’ll email you copies of all the pics I have of you. I feel your pain with the downloading and uploading. It was agony.

Pia: I am now wondering if that poor guy on the ferry really hung out in Cruz Bay and tried to catch the “midnight” ferry back....his wife was already peeved!

Jorge: He does (no comment)...And I just got back on the forum and hated to see that you’ve had some trouble lately. But, I am guessing it takes a lot more than that to get a guy like you down! You hang in there!

Everyone else: thanks so much for the nice comments. You’re all great!
