We just returned from a trip to St. Thomas and we had a wonderful time. We stayed at the Frenchman's Reef Marriott resort and we loved it! Food and drink were expensive at the hotel (flip flops in hotel lobby - $80.00!!! - whatever) But we rented a jeep which I would highly recommend and ran down to K-mart. Pick up booze for the room and some snack real cheep. Only draw back with a car is if you go into town you might have to park on the out skirts and walk in. Not a biggie.
We went on a trip to the Baths. I loved this. Check out the Stormy Petrel and Pirates Penny for this trip. I love you Captain Rick.
We went with Aqua Adventures on the B.O.S.S. trip and this was amazing. Check out my pictures for more explanation. This is something we will talk about until the rum kills all brain activity and we can not remember any more.
We ate at Victors Hideout, and we loved it. We ate at Iggie's Beach Bar and that was really good (Karaoke was great!). But my favorite was Duffy's Love Shack. I got this sampler plater that comes with a Sterno grill and you can heat up your own food if it starts to cool down (very fun - just be careful if you go off and start talking to people you can start a fire...sorry). I also recommend the Shark Tank drink. Very good.
We had a day trip to St. John on the car ferry, very worth while. I wish we would have had time to do this two days. I guess we will have to go back!
Can not wait to go back and do it all again!!! Oh, I love Cruzan Rum.
Here are some pictures, sorry there is so many but I got a new camera at the Havensight mall (with underwater case) so I went a little crazy.
I hope this works:
Awesome pics! What camera did you buy. Thanks...
Thanks! Obviously the Bath pics were with the disposable. But we purchased the Canon Powershot SD900 new titanium camera on the second day of our trip. I love it. We bought the case that canon makes for it to take underwater photos. The camera has an underwater setting so the colors come out right. We picked them up at the Havensight mall and they gave us a 2 mg card with the package. I just took pictures at a party yesterday. I'm getting a better feel for the settings.
Wow, that BOSS looks like fun. If you do not mind, how much did you pay per person? Their web site does not have prices. Thanks, Billy
It is $99.00 a person and worth every penny. They pick you up at the docks and take you out for the morning or afternoon. The morning sets out around 8:30 am and gets you back around 12:00 and then they leave again at 1:00 and get you back to the docks around 4:30. You get to spend around 30 mins on the BOSS and the rest of the time you can snorkel. The snorkeling is great there as well.
Those pics are great! Especially the captions. My husband and I laughed our way through them. Yes, we saw the cans! 🙂
Thanks! I'm kind of a goof ball. And I was thinking my 3 boys at home would appreciate the 2nd can more than the first. Always thinking of the family! LOL
Oh, and if he is out there I wanted to say Thank You very much to Marty for giving me the info on the B.O.S.S. adventure. If it were not for you we would have never even known about this.
Thanks again for the memories Marty.
Glad you had a good time! I think it's one of those 'once in a lifetime'-type of things to do...what a hoot, huh? And Captain Jim does a great job, doesn't he? Very fun trip. Their contact info is at www.bossusvi.com....
