It was good to get back to the Islands…

Post by jmq »

Greetings all

Just back from 5 nights on Virgin Gorda and 5 nights on St. John and boy is my liver tired. It’s been 4 years for us and you almost forget how nice it is, especially STJ.

VG was nearly too quiet, and STJ was a much different experience with our now 20 year old and the initiation of the Cruz Bay “No Shower Happy Hour”...

You know you’ve been away a long time when you get back to work and struggle to remember your passwords :D

Just started going through some of the photos. Here is a teaser as a prelude to a trip report I hope to write up...

Welcome back to the island(s), jmq. 4 years is a looong time.

We just returned from St. John last night. We might have crossed paths somewhere on the island. :)

Great photos as always!

I always love reading your trip reports and seeing your excellent photos. Please post your report soon and help get me through the next few weeks before my trip.
