If I Could Be Anywhere Else Right Now...

...it would definately not be here in the heat and humidity of the mid-west!

I'd be lying on a beach with a cold drink in hand, along with a good book. My favorite destination: the island of St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

We visited St. John and St. Thomas two years ago, and I'd love to plan a return trip!!

Does life get much better than this?

You know what I LOVE about a vacation?? Not knowing the time of day or even what day of the week it is, and especially not hearing a phone ring off the hook. That's what I call a STRESS FREE LIFE!!

We spent our week sailing and snorkeling, visiting a deserted sugar cane plantation, shopping, drinking lots of rum, laying in the sun and eating waaaaaaay too much food.

We had a fun evening with friends enjoying the food and hospitality of the staff at Cuzzin's - a wonderful restaurant on Back Street in Charlotte Amalie.

Shopping in Charlotte Amalie is unbelievable!!! We were warned by our front desk staff to not plan to shop if there were more than two cruise ships in port. This was easy to determine, since our balcony looked right down into the harbor and the cruise ship docks.

Oh.....I want to go back!!!
