Today we must depart St. Thomas. Our friends stay 2 more days, but I was last minute able to use the last of my frequent flyer miles (thanks for Delta Skymiles American Express) for one ticket and had to depart on today.

What a fantastic week we’ve had. Here’s a photo from the backside of the stairs to our rooms at the Elysian with Kathy and Al showing the way..

Dave as usual took care of us with “to go” cups of painkillers or whatever blender concoction. The plan for the day was to relax and snorkel at Coki Beach until it was time for us to pack up and be taken to the airport for our 4:40PM flight.

Coki Beach had great snorkeling and a great sandy beach. Coral World is here, but we wanted our time to be focused on the beach and snorkeling. Dave has the underwater camera so hopefully when they return I can share some odds and ends of photos from his camera. Cheers to a wonderful week in a tropical paradise with awesome friends!

On the way to the airport, we had to stop for a couple of more scenic pictures.

Sure glad we “pulled the trigger” on this unexpected vacation.

This trip is what makes for great memories. We promise to return!!!!!!
