St. Thomas

I was blessed with the most amazing trip for 5 days to US Virgin Islands with my hubs of 17 yrs! I'm sad I didn't take my camera, but it is still gorgeous in iPhone photos;)



We stayed at Marriott Frenchman's Reef, it had the most amazing infinity pool overlooking the ocean with lots of iguanas and hermit crabs.


The island is only 32 square miles so we pretty much beach hopped every day the water is clearly amazing.


We took the ferry to Charlotte Amalie one morning and did a little shopping at the market, I found the perfect suit;)

Pirates of the Caribbean:)




Room with a view


This reminded me of our breakfast I make at home and view of course


We saw several cruise ships go by our resort, I was not jealous, I would much rather be on an island than a boat.



We met some nice couples that we had dinner with a couple nights. The older couple had a place they have rented out on the island for 20+ years, how fabulous would that be?!!

Our day consisted of running on the beach, eating, drinking, beaching, eating and being in bed at 8pm, my kind of vacate.

Our taxi rides were adventurous, thankfully never too long, but driving on the wrong side of the street with no shoulder made me want to close my eyes a lot.
took a trip to the local's favorite beach Lindquist, it was very private with fun shady trees and no potties.

My personal fav Trunk Bay at St. John island which was a 15min ferry ride from St. Thomas.  We rented 5.00 snorkel equipment and saw some beautiful sea life along the reef. I would love to bring my kids to this beach and stay for a long time, but nobody could get sick because I am afraid the hospitals aren't this pretty.




Overlooking Magen's Bay, gorgeous!!
