We spent 6 days in the Virgin Islands visiting AJ and Becca. We had a blast!!!
(Thank you AJ & Becca!!!)
Tuesday, February 11, 2020 & Wednesday, February 12, 2020
We took the red eye. We left St. George a little after 7 p.m. (MST) on the St. George Shuttle. Our plane left Las Vegas around 11 p.m. to New York. We met a connecting flight and landed in St. Thomas at 1 p.m. (AST) With the time changes we think it was about 15 hours of travel.
AJ was right there to get us and took us up to his cute place and then immediately off to Brewer's Bay while we waited for Becca to finish her shift at work. She works downtown selling items at a Turkish store. AJ had prepared pulled pork, beans, and rolls for dinner. We enjoyed a delicious meal at AJ's.
We went and found our place that was across the island about 15 minutes. The roads on the island are very narrow. Cars park on both sides of the streets. And everybody drives on the wrong side of the street!!! It was kind of terrifying. I was so glad we didn't have to drive and he chauffeured us the whole trip! Our place was up the mountain and a very steep driveway. Luckily AJ has skills and was able to maneuver us in and out of the place.
