(Day 5) Monday: Started our day with a two tank dive from Low Key. Ellen was again our partner. We saw 2 sharks, a turtle, eel and many other things. After the dive we went back to the condo for lunch. After lunch we took the centerline road to Coral Bay and beyond. The scenery is sure different than the Cruz Bay side. It is also very beautiful. On our way back we stopped at Chateau Bordeaux to make reservations for dinner on Thursday (our last night). (Day 6) Tuesday. Got up early and took the Limnos to the B.V.I. The last time we were on the Limnos they were at the Westin. Now they are at the Park Dock across from Mongoose Junction. This is always a nice day. Last time we took the New Horizons 2. We opted for the Limnos because we didn't want to swim in to the baths from the boat. The Limnos docks in Spanish Town and shuttles you over there. We had about an hour to swim and then it was back to the boat for lunch and then snorkeling at Norman Island. We got back to St. John around 4:15.While in town we walked around Mongoose Junction. (Day 7) Wednesday: Another two tank dive. After lunch we went to Trunk Bay where we spent the rest of the afternoon.There were so many people. Many from cruise ships. I had a 24 hour old shirt stolen while walking from our blankets to the concession stand to get some food. That really made me mad especially since the shirt was purchased the day before! (Day 8) Thursday We took a tour of the Westin Vacation Ownership Villas. They certainly are beautiful. We wound up purchasing a one bedroom unit. The rest of the day was spent at the Westin pool. It was especially nice since the Serendip does not have a pool.That evening we had dinner at Chateau Bordeaux. I had the rack of Lamb and Patty Ann has the filet. Both meals were excellent, but the beef was soo tender. You could cut it with your fork. (Day 9) Friday Checked out of our condo around 10:30. Spent an hour at the Westin pool before getting the ferry back to St. Thomas. We headed for Sapphire Beach and had lunch at the pool bar.A lot of food! We got to the airport at 3:00 for our 4:10 flight and we easily sailed through customs. By the time we got home, it was 12:30 in the morning.As I sit at the kitchen table writing this report, I can't help but start planning for our next trip back.

Just curious if the Westin Vacation Ownership Villas are a timeshare or more like a villa unit you now own year round? Our Daytona timeshare exchanges to the Westin but apparently no one can ever get the exchange.
