Thanks Scott and everyone else for the nice welcomes. We did the same thing and by the time we arrived it made getting around so much easier. From getting the ferry in St. Thomas to St. John, and places like The Soggy Dollar & Foxy's. Would of been lost without this forum.

Thanks Dan, I was wondering where Edwardsburg was. Did you guys get any of that snow today?

Funny how many of us reformed Michigan lurkers have turned up in the last few weeks. I was lurking up until a few weeks ago and have started posting. I work in Plymouth and live in Woodhaven. Small word Tom. My brother lives in Livonia as well. My next trip in Feb 14 - 24 with the wife and kids.

Rob & Sherri,
Wow, Little did I know my post would get so much attention. Good the hear from another Mich. person, I think we should have a Michigan get together one of these years, all meet up at Woodys or the Beach Bar and take over the joint. Glad to hear you came out (this coming out thing is giving me a bad visual),feels better dosen't it. Are all you Lurkers paying attention, just kidding...has been a fun couple of days though, really going to miss Jorge's reports, I can picture in my mind almost every place they have been. We need more Jorge's in this world.
Rob, your brother is in Livonia, it truly is a small world, wouldn't it just be crazy if he was a neighbor. I work in Dearborn, dead give-away as to who I work for.
Take care and I'm sure we'll talk again.
Tom

Rob, just realized you heading north on the 24th (that had a bad ring to it, sorry), we'll probably pass each other on the dock. If you see a mid forty's guy with a mustache, wearing a Foxy's hat, drinking a beer with a big smile, that would be me.
I just described 75% of the guys walking around the island, oh well...have a good time, like that will be hard to do!!

Laura T,
Thanks for the welcome and Yes, Happy Hour is a great time to arrive, I guess we'll have to make our own that day, and the next and the next..... We will probably be at the Beach Bar as your arriving so look over and wave.

Welcome! I cant' wait to hear your report! We are a little farther south than the rest of you guys all year long but still can't wait to hit the beach in St John! There is definitly nothing like it! Enjoy your trip and don't forget the report!

Cat, Thanks for the welcome. It's an awesome place for sure. I'll do my best with the trip report, I'm not a real good story teller but I'll give it a shot. We'll be back home the second week in March so stay tuned.
