Thanks! Olga

Olga, Does your email end with yahoo.co.uk? Confirm and I'll send you another link to pictures from St. Thomas.

We took the car ferry to St.John for the day. Totally worth while. Trunk Bay is the touristy beach, but the next one, Cinammon is nicer in my book. Francis is also excellent. Go on a light ship day. You can see who's in port at www.cruisecal.com.

As Jim said, Pueblo and Kmart are the two best places. I know of three Pueblo's and I think 2 Kmarts. There is a Pueblo between town and the Cove. Prices are what you'd expect for "shipped in" goods. Beats eating out every night ($$$).

By the way, the pool has happy hour everyday from 4:30 to 6. $8 drinks change to 2 for 1. Very dangerous!! Someone told me the two things the cops there look for are seat belt enforcement and talking on cell phones while driving. Hence, a lot of people have the little device in their ear that hooks to the cellphone. They all look like they are from Star Trek!!

I plan on posting in the thread Jim started about eating on the Island. I'd like to post all the places we went to and the experiences. It might help future travelers hit the good places and avoid the not-so-good. When I get time.....

Let me know about that email address.
