St. Thomas

She said: Today we leave St John and move over to the Ritz Carlton on St. Thomas. I was sad. So after breakfast and turning in the Jeep, we went to the gift shop and got some post cards and a Christmas tree decoration. Then we walked down the road to Honeymoon Beach.


Back to the resort. We decided that we had the best beach, so into the water we went and swan and sunned. We saw a coconut floating in the bay and some small children were watching it. They told us it had a message that they were sending. Dale and I swam out and looked at it. On one side was the message "We are stranded on a deserted island. Follow the map and send Help!!". On the other side was a map that had a rough outline of the US with Atlantic and Pacific on it and the words "You are here" Then somewhere out where the Atlantic would be, there were these words "We are here". The last time we saw it was floating around the end of the bay into the channel. It is something David and Laura would do. If you happen to find it, you will know where they are stranded (I am trying to figure out how I can get stranded at Caneel Bay!!).

We caught the Ferry to St. Thomas and took a cab over the mountain to the Ritz Carlton - what a ride!! Checked in and I was happy.

Had lunch...

and went to the beach and pool. I got a little too much sun. This evening, we had dinner at the Bleuwater Restaurant here at the Ritz Carlton. We had to dress up for dinner (it is the primo restaurant on the property) - Dale did that without too much protesting. I had the Redfish and Dale had a steak (naturally). Again, fabulous cuisine.

He said: When Terri is happy, everyone's happy.
