Yep, that's me. I'm more an emotional arrive-er that an emotional depart-er. Sometimes I have to hide behind sunglasses too!

For me it's not really crying, but that lump in the throat, fighting the eyes welling up. Hubby knows not to say anything to me during this time, or I might start. I do this at the end of any wonderful vacation. It's worse when the kids are with me on the trip. When they are at home, I have seeing them to look forward to.

Hi. My name is Gromit and I am a crier!

I cry when:

1) I book my tickets for STJ
2) When I read a fantastic post about someone discovering STJ and who "get's it" for the first time
3)When I land, and
4)when I get back on the plane to go back home.

So there!

We got married there in May 03 (see screen name ) I did not cry when we left, yet I was sad. We went back for our 1 year anniversary in May 04, when we were on the ferry leaving on the way to St Thomas I did cry, a tear or 2. I thought it would be a very long time before we returned and it really made me said.
Lucky for us we were invited to a wedding on Tortola 2 years later (June 06) so we spent 3 days/2 nights on St John before heading over to Tortola.

Ah hell Gromit - you cried when we met each other in Miami Aiport. OK - not really, but there was one big A$$ smile.

No man that was your cologne bringing tears to my eyes Always happy to make new friends!!!

I DID cry when I met up with FF on our last trip. They were there ahead of us and just seeing the peaceful look on her face and her arms outstretched to give me a big hug was enough to make me sob!!

Don't know why that memory sticks with me, but it's one of my fondest. Hugs to you FF!

Gromit - I feel you statement about FF.

When we went to Provo, T & C in 2004 for my mom's 50th B-day trip, my parents flew down ahead of us. Two days later we arrived and you would have thought based on the hugging, hopping around, and happy crying that we hadn't seen each other in years. (In the real world we live close to each other and talk all the time.)[/quote]

I cried when I saw the credit card statement after we booked the trip. I'll cry again when we get the credit card statement after returning from the trip.

On that note, one of the things I like about going to STJ and renting a villa-- all the big stuff is paid for before going. Makes the trip MUCh mroe enjoyable knowing I only have to cover the car, food and incidentals!

I almost cried during the non expected weather related long layover in Atlanta on the way home from STJ. I guess my Xanax had worn off.

I'm a cryer too. I cry tears of joy apon arrival and tears of sadness when leaving. But then again, I cry all the time too!

XOXO

I would only cry if I had no plans to come back.
SOTB (or however many) 2008 will be on my mind so maybe I won't have to cry.

I'm a cryier too! When I make the reservations, the day of the flight and the ferry ride over. Then the day we leave the villa, the ferry ride back to STT and then the flight home.

I cry on the ferry to St John! It's just so overwhelming to be going HOME!
