Finally pictures from our July 2007 trip

I know these pictures are old, but better late than never. These are pics from our July 2007 trip. I can't remember the daily details to do a good trip report, so I'm not even going to try, but here are some highlights.
We went down with three couples. We stayed at Dream Come True and rented a Montero Sport with Conrad's. We had water problems at the villa the first two days. By water problems I mean we had no water 90% of the time. Caribbean Villas were great they were at our villa 10:00 or 11:00 at night trying to fix the problem. They did eventually fix the problem and reimbursed us over a $1,000 and gave us a huge cheese and fruit tray.
Dream Come True is a great waterfront villa with very good snorkeling in Devers Bay. Further out in the bay it has depths of 35 to 40 feet with good coral formations and caverns. My wife and I are certified divers, so we rented some gear and did a shore dive of Devers Bay.
Our group did the usual beaches, Cinnamon, Trunk, Waterlemon, and Maho. We took a sail to snorkel Great St. James and Little St. James which had excellent snorkeling. One day we decided to just hang at the villa. The drinks flowed that day from 10:00am - midnight. Let's just say that the pictures from that day will not be shown to the public.
We ate out at the usual places, Woody's, Fish Trap, Beach Bar, Zo Zo's, and Skinny Legs.
A few things to happen to us: Our friends Mark and Angie had a few visitors in there room, namely a scorpion and a big old cockroach. The scorpion was hiding under Mark's swim trunks and the cockroach decided to climb on Angie's arm while she slept. At Maho, we locked the keys in the car. We met Kenny Chesney's manager's mom (at least that's what she told us) at Zo Zo's. As we were driving to return the rental to Conrads the power steering belt broke. Let me tell you this, it's not fun driving on St. John without power steering.
The weather couldn't have been better. We had rain for maybe 30 minutes while on St. John, but it was a monsoon when we got off the ferry at St. Thomas to leave.
