PART ONE: A Close Call



Remember how my mom said "If I never hear the words uh-oh again it would be to soon"? Well, it should have been "uh-oh" but some of us heard it come out as a swear.

Smooth. That"s how it was until we we're at the ferry dock in Charlotte Amalie.

The cab driver dropped us off with our bags about a half-hour before the ferry came. My brother (AKA #1) desperately needed new flip flops, so #1, 99, and I went to see if we could find a store while dad (AKA 86) stayed with the bags. No luck with shopping so we went back to the dock to wait, and that's when I heard the words, "Where is the beach bag?" That may not seem like much but first of all it was the new "Haven't I Seen You on the Forum" bag. Second, the two cameras were in there.

Yeah...those two cameras.

Um... about the guitar my brother has a new girlfriend so he cant play because he needs both of his thumbs to text her every 30 seconds. I'm not sure if he forgot it or not.

We flew Jet Blue to San Juan then Cape Air to STT. Some of you wanted to know how we got those shots. Cape Air is a very small plane and the back row really is the cock pit. So my mom got some pics with the wide angle lens.

Back to the bags. Dad was on the phone with Frenchman's Reef to see if we left the bag in the lobby and if not was there a way for them to radio the cab. One thing that we also noticed is that the snorkeling bag was gone too. Our luck. There is only one thing to do in a time like this, Saint Anthony help!

As always, he came to the rescue, the bags were in the lobby. Obviously we missed the 1:00 ferry and the next one wasn't until 5:30 so we went back to get the bags and went to Red Hook. They new ferry station is very nice. We caught the 2:00 with ALL of out bags.
