TR and pics

Post by sandollar »

Thanks so much for taking the time to share each day's events and all the pics with us! Really think you have an exceptional "eye" to capture something simplistic and "wow"! The underwater shots are great with perfect sunlight on the subjects as well. Go Girl - "Pro" !

Great report and pics and live reporting! You must really have patience to go with both Mom and MIL on vacation :) My mother has to be drugged to fly now. No one wants to fly with her she has such panic. She got an entire plane upset on our way back form Florida once. Then, I would have to drug her so she could ride in the Jeep because she would be screaming her head off about the "cliffs" and turns. She even commented that our villa pool looks like it is on cliff and don't be playing around the pool edge :lol: What am I 5 years old? Moms...

Oh and drinking by 10am is part of the reason to go isn't it?
When will I see St John again?

Vicki, great trip report and pics and kudos for taking Mom and MIL. So, you've got me thinking....how about rum & (?) popsicles? Hmmm, you may be onto something. Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend! Ali~

Vicki,

Thank you SOOO MUCH for the wonderful trip report. I was smiling all the way through. You are wonderful to have treated your "moms" to a memory that they will always have.

So happy that you got to Jost. Isn't it amazing there?? Truly spectacular.

Looks like you need to book another trip just to meet Vie. We have been lucky enough to not only enjoy her wonderful food - but, to enjoy her wonderful company, as well. She is truly a pleasure. We haven't made it to her beach yet, either.

Nice to hear that you were able to fit in a little bit of "away time" from the moms. Again, I applaud you for your selflessness & generosity. What a wonderful daughter & daughter-in-law you are.

As always, awesome photos!! And SO MUCH FUN to read of your latest adventure to the ilons.

Thanks!
Sue

Vicki!

As usual it's a pleasure to read your TR and see your photos. If you should want to change career you could be photographer.

Hey Vikki,

Did you use a ND filter for your sunset pics? They are great. Is that a 70-210 L Series you are sporting there are just glad to seem me?

Thanks for that! Gromit's mantra is "16 days....16 days...." I think mine is "No Mother-in-Law.....no Mother-in-Law...."
