Time is running out

Our stay on St. Thomas is winding down.  In the time we have been here it has rained a total of 2 hours. We love it but the Island needs much more rain.  We'll be back in Panama next Friday (Aug. 1st) night and in Boquete on the 3rd.  Annie and I hope to have one more night out for dinner and a few more days at the pool and the beach.  Look for the rainbow and the beach at the end of it.  

Food & Fun

After a great meal at our favorite restaurant on St. Thomas, The Stone Cottage, and a great day of sailing the next day, it's almost time to say goodbye to Erin & Kevin.  I think they enjoyed there time here.

I've always wondered

Remember when you could stop a gas pump right on the penny. Nowadays, it's like a slot machine.  The numbers go by so fast there is no way to stop it on the dollar.  Which brings me to another question.  What's with the 9/10 of a cent.  I don't ever remember having a 9/10 of a cent piece in my pocket.  When you ask for 1 gal. of gas, how do you pay $4.559/10 per gal? Please explain.  

Internet & snail's pace

Earlier, I had mentioned how the internet at this house is slower than a snail.  How about a crab?  This guy ( or gal) was lumbering across our patio this morning.  His shell was the size of a baseball. For those who were here for our wedding, the homes that we stayed in our still the same.  A developer has bought the property some 7 years ago and has changed the entrance and added some concrete roads.  But the beach is still as beautiful as ever.  

St. Thomas

Well, we're here in the USVI.  The house is incredible.  More room than we need.  The private beach is only a 5 minute walk away.  One major problem.  NO INTERNET.  Only dial up at a snail's pace.  Have you ever had to go to one of only a handful of internet cafes in a port that services cruise ships?  Yikes!! So, my posts might be a little staggered.  Enjoy some of the photos.
