I'm back! Report on Stx (1)
Sorry everyone I have to do this in a couple segments because I'm still gathering my thougts. WOOOOOW!!!
I love it: from my all out dash through PR airport to make my connection flights..... both ways! to the islander serving hospitallity drinks while i waited for my luggage claim ticket to be checked. (Later delivered directly to the pink fancy) to the tour guide taxi driver who delivered me to the PF. to walking (during the day) down Prince st and King St to the boardwalk and observing a different arcitecture, lifestyle.... etc. I WILL BE IN STX.... Hopefully closing on the place I looked at. Sweeny and his Stx Island Tour.... what a wonderful man. Beer drinking pigs, the botanical gardens, Dominoe Club. I lived through the MammaWanna. I Saw a beautiful sunset on the west shore and a storm (sunday pm 02/24) What a storm..... watching that roll in off the ocean was magnificant. My husband is looking into National Guard transfer as i type. i'm looking into health ins., hurricane ins., liability, GOOD LORD where to start and what to do to be there instead of here.
Good Morning Dominic, A compliment to your island and the people I met... Yes, when you first look into the eye of an islander you may feel a sense of hostility. But a good morning and a smile will bring out a warm and welcome good morning how are you today and a nod (from most). In the states, that is rare. In the islands, well you have to experience this. Amazing.
I met Captain Simpson from the Renegade (Buck Island Tours out of Csted). I listened to him over my B&B hosts and NEVER walked at night through Csted. Felt very safe that way and the taxi service and bartenders where great. Simpson even carted me back to the PF a couple times.
All I have time for now, But i did see the east side south shore west shore rainforest mid island with the refinary No never smelled bad oders either myself. Wen to F'sted as well for lunch.
