USVI-On-Line

Just thought I'd put it out there that Nov. 15 is Rachel's 70th birthdayand she's as spry as ever slinging those suitcases into her vehicle. When we were there 2 weeks ago she said she's finally starting to smile again after the death of her brother last year. Me and "my peeps" brought another smile to her face when we handed her a birthday card and a gift -- got her the new Scotty McCreery CD because she likes country music. She couldn't BELIEVE that anyone would remember her birthday! (It's the same day as one of our travelling companions so it was pretty easy.) By the time we made our return trip to the airport a week later she had many of the songs memorized so I know she liked it. Her smiling face is one of my favorite things to see when I get off the plane so I'm very happy that she's smiling again!!!

Thanks for telling us. She knows I am in the midst of some family health problems right now and she called me the other day to say she is paying for us. So sweet! I hope to see her on 11/26!

So awesome! Can one of you tell me her number- I need to call her for February if we can get her. Have never used her before but she sounds amazing! A fellow country music fan- I like her already

Really wish I had her address as I'd like to do something special for her on the 15th. I guess putting an address on the forum might be too personal if anyone has it. I have her phone number in my phone for the four years that she has picked us up in STT.

She did the nicest thing for me last summer, totally unexpected. I mentioned when she picked us up that I wanted a Virgin Islands flag to fly at home. When she picked us up at Charlotte Amalie on the way back, she went with us to a few places downtown to look for one, we couldn't find one. She dropped us off for lunch and shopping. When she picked us back up to go to the airport, she had my flag and wouldn't let me pay her for it. If anyone thinks there aren't good souls out there, Rachel is the perfect example. Beautiful lady...her sweetness makes me so happy to be around her.

thanks X! Greyhound mom- really sweet story!

Using her for the 1st time in Feb..can't wait!!!!

She's picking us up for a return to the airport on the 15th. Now I feel guilty that she's working on her birthday.

Thanks for letting us know. I just love her!

I LOVE her!!!!! I couldn't say enough great things about her!

Jayseadee - Rachel says that she doesn't celebrate her birthday, but that doesn't mean that you can't, right? I'm sure that just wishing her a happy birthday or giving her a card will be another surprise for her.

Greyhoundmom - If you're quick maybe Jayseadee would be willing to add a greeting from you too!

Use Rachel every time we go to STJ. LOVE her!! She loves my husband's deep voice!! Can't wait for him to call her today & wish her Happy Birthday!!
She is so precious!!!!

I called her and sang Happy Birthday in my best Barry White impression. made her laugh. She told me that she's wearing her bright red dress, makeup and jewelry today. She's strutting her stuff and enjoying herself today. Sounded like she has a Suburban full of STJ visitors. Soonthebeach, she's that great of a person. Your kids will love her and so will you.

Just had a nice conversation with Rachel and wished her a happy birthday. She wanted to know how I knew it was her birthday. I told her it's all over the forum! She said she wished she had the time to learn how to use a computer so she could see the forum site. It was really good to hear her voice.

Birthday Girl!
