CAUTION: There appear to be some negatives

Just trying to pass on some observations from a first time st. john traveler.
Now that the trip is very imminent, it seems that the st. john traveler can experience disruptions in the normal sleep patterrns, causing diminished problem solving skills the last few days of work. These diminished problem solving skills seemed to be heightened by what i've come to identify as STR (selective thought reciprication). It's when you've got your mind on your trip and your trip on your mind. Question: Have you been spending an unusal amount of time on the virgin-islands-online website at work? It may be necessary in some cases to just take the last two days off from work. But be warned, this will help at the workplace no doubt, but will only worsen the sporadic sleep pattern. You may find yourself up making coffee at 3:30 instead of 6am the last two mornings. This is the time to relax and remain calm. all the planning is done. all the deposits have been paid. you thought all the clothes shopping was done, but you found out different about that, huh? they ought to have a "flip flop co-op" at the st. john dock where my wife can leave all the extra styles of flip flops she bought just for this trip!!
Well, what i'm trying to say i guess, is i'm glad this board was here, because this is where we come to pass the time and learn about st. john. that way we don't have to become the office "i'm going to st. john and you're not" bore at work.
thanks so much for all your help and i'll write the proverbial report when we get back. i just noticed it's 6:23 am and our flight leaves at 6:10 out of new orleans tommorrow morning. we leave for the airport at 4:30. some of you we'll see on st. john, to others, bye for now and thanks for the kindness you've shown here.

Then we have to get the house ready for the house sitter, pay bills and so on. I always have this mild anxiety about things I have to get done. Paradise soon come!
