USVI-On-Line

Look who's name came up in News Of St. John:

"We all know the Webcam in Cruz Bay, keeping watch, 24/7, over the ferry dock. It's not unheard of for people to write their names on the beach and then call friends by cell phone and say, "Look, Ma. We're here." That's what "mbw1024" did."

(Well, actually it was Xislandgirl who did the writing, but close enough.) Ali~

HA! Ok, who's got the web cam pointed to my sand box!

MBW and X have now joined the ranks of famous forumites! Congrats!

yes, so please respect my privacy while on the island! it's rude to approach a celebrity and you know, ask them to carry a box for you or something!

Mary Beth, it's ok as long as you offer them $5.00 for their trouble.

MBW - with fame comes the obligation to "give back" so I'll be counting on you for my next set of plane tickets and/or villa rental !

I am already treated like the celebrity when I travel to STJ:

I get off the plane and there get handed rum punch.
I get into my private taxi and head across the island to a waiting boat
Getting off the boat there is someone waiting for me to whisk me away to my private villa.


Of course:
Everyone gets the free rum punch
I pay for the taxi
Sometimes I have to wait 55 minutes for the boat
The villa rep is paid to take me to the house that I can only afford to rent.


Just don't tell my fans about the little details.

You know X, I was really looking forward to that free rum punch at the airport...and never got any! Do the servers go to lunch or something?
