Ha!

So you know I'm a tad bit upset that Jimmy Buffett's Jones Beach concerts coincide with our trip. 


Pirate King isn't happy right now.  He just found out Adam Ant is doing a concert.  He'd love to go, but it's while we're on the cruise.

packing

No, not for the cruise.  We've got a trip coming up this week.  Not a vacation.  Just some errands we need to take care of, flying down to Florida and driving home again.

36 days to go

Everything is booked and paid for -- cruise, air travel, excursions.  Steakhouse and Cucina de Capitano reservations have been made.

Can't start packing yet because: 

(1)  It;s summer and I'm wearing the clothes I plan to take on the cruise; and

(2) We have a road trip of sorts starting July 29, I have to pack for that first.

So all that's left to do for now is the countdown.

St. Thomas Excursion

Your journey begins with a 45-minute boat ride to the island of St. John.


Upon arriving in the charming town of Cruz Bay, you'll board open-air safari transportation for a scenic Island drive. Along the way, your guide will provide insight into St. John's rich history, lush, tropical foliage and its indigenous wildlife. You'll witness white-sand beaches and panoramic views of the British Virgin Islands.
On your itinerary are the ruins of the Annaberg sugar mill, an 18th-century sugar plantation with an abundance of greenery and flowers bursting among the stone ruins, and Whistling Cay. You'll also visit such scenic overlooks as Trunk Bay ( one of the most photographed beaches in the world) Hawksnest Bay, and Caneel Bay, overlooking the famous Rockefeller plantation. Next, you'll drive to Bordeaux Mountain. At a 1,277 feet elevation, it's the highest summit in the Virgin Islands, providing one of the most extraordinary vista points. You'll cap off your tour with a return to Cruz Bay before your boat ride back to St. Thomas.
