We saw Cypress and daughter, BAsUr and daughter and friend and VaGirl at Maho. No pictures of them though, sorry.
We had a beautiful day there!

That evening we had dinner with Jmg20 (Jim) and Diana at LaPlancha.

Last day- June 20th.

I took some villa pictures and then we went and ate at JJ's and went to STJ Spice where Ruth took our WOW picture. Sad to go but we had a great time!
I wrote 3 GEN in the sand.

BYE! I will be back and I hope my mom and daughter will too!

Short video clips from the trip- snorkeling, diving and beach. We got the big tarpon on video but it really doesn't show you the mammoth size of it. It WAS longer than me.

Set of ALL the pictures if you have a lot of time on your hands- (I need to delete some... :oops: ):

I can't wait until our next trip. You'll have to snorkel with me and show me how you find all that great stuff (without diving, of course). :D

*what* is that beautiful red star shape??

okay, so I have to admit, I've been going to STJ since 1990 I think, and the only beach I've not been to is Maho.... after reading all these recent trip reports, I think I definitely must go there, next trip..

(only reason we don't is because we always thought since it's right on the road, there must be traffic noise...) apparently not..

Thanks for taking us along your trip. Looks like you had a great time (how could you not?).

Agree with Jayseadee - November soon come!

Great pictures as always. You are a tarpon magnet, they always seems to come to you.
