Hallelujah! St. Anthony really is the man! So glad you didn't have to wait long for him to do his stuff.

Relax and enjoy! You certainly deserve it (from another 40-something Virgo with control issues who can totally empathize)!

Seriously though, I am so glad things are working out and wish nothing but the best of vacation for you - with a few harmless surprizes thrown in along the way to keep me entertained - oh OK, maybe not - unless you want to of course, OK no more :wink:

Have fun guy's and welcome

That picture is priceless. I dragged my husband into the den to read all about your travel perils. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. Looking forward to your pictures now that you have your camera.

This so reminds me of my brother when I was growing up. The only words I remember him saying were "I forgot".

How can you forget a guitar?

Hilarious. Glad you have it now. Poor kid, that would be hard to live that one down. We had a few little lost items on our last trip. Thanks to Rachel (taxi-St. Thomas) she retrieved them for us-twice).

Hopefully it is smooth sailing from now on!

Wow. The lows just make the highs sweeter. Truely a miracle to get camera gear like that back.

There is a shoulder season between deep sleep and consciousness. For me often it is my childhood home in northeast Pennsylvania. The storm windows have just been raised and I can hear birds singing. Or it's at home on Cape Ann when we can finally throw the windows open. The gulls make a hell of a racket chasing the lobster boats and it makes me smile before I even wake up.. Or it's here, on St. John in the morning. A Pearly Eyed Thrasher woke me up at 4:15am, with a song sounding very much like our cockatiel, Jumbie.

All three realities blend in shoulder season

Although I did notice a conspicuous absence of rooster morning greetings.. Not pointing fingers...AchoooRuth :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Beautiful photos, Agent 99! And clever writing too. I am always incredibly impressed by anyone who does a "real time" report. We love Gallows Point so keep those beautiful shots coming!
