US Virgin Islands

BVI only allows us to hang around for 30 days without paying extension fees, so we decided to hop over to the US Virgin Islands.  At the closest point, Tortola, BVI is less than a mile away from St. John, USVI.  The airports are more like 30 miles away from each other.  We left the Pimentel family off at Trellis Bay and started our downwind adventure stopping at the grocery store, customs and immigration for BVI as well as USVI, and finally ended up in Lindbergh Bay.

I wasted Friday morning away snoozing and laying around.  I only knew I had been asleep because I woke up.  It was a great day, the house was a mess and no one cared.  Today Roy and Genny cleaned up their spotless, cozy  rooms, I wish I could say the same for the room I share with Eric and Marie, it’s in really bad shape.  Our guests have only been gone one day and Roy has already made a paper chain to count down the days until the Aanonson family arrives.

Other chores include making water, defrosting the freezer, gathering laundry, thinking about doing laundry, and thinking about cleaning the room I share with Marie and Eric.  I got so tired out with all that thinking, we went off to a surprise location Eric found yesterday.  It’s our very own hot springs.  On the other side of the hill we can see the desalinization plant that has returned this water after compressing it through filters and collecting the fresh water. Eric estimates this water to be about 100 degrees, we had to float in and out of the hot stream to cool off in the 77 degree bay water.

If I thought I was sleepy before, floating around in the hot water really made me drowsy, so we went back to the boat.  Almost immediately we saw two tourist ladies floating in the water next to their kayak, they looked like they needed rescuing, so we gave them a hand.  Right after that the jet skis started zipping around. Topaz is totally tormented, running around the boat barking at them as they race by. We watched Water World recently so the kids identified them as ‘smokers’. One of the jet skis was tending to this guy with some kind of cool water jet shoes.

He could plow through the water submerged to his waist, or hover in the air.  He also did this cool dolphin maneuver.
The name stuck and McLaughlin eventually named the hockey team after cialis tadalafil generico that. There are other alternate invasive treatments, but they do not present a generic cialis india cure on their own. After that, proper medical buy uk viagra supervision can be provided. But though we bear asthma due to any reason but the impacts of this dysfunction upon our tadalafil uk buy daily life are quite painful.

But the real reason I had the camera out was to get a picture of the airplanes taking off behind Makai.

We are really here is because Eric is flying home to do some work next week.  Tomorrow around noon we’ll drop him off at the beach, it’s a very short walk to the terminal from here.

Lindbergh Bay is rather large and quite empty.  Between the jetskis, airplane noise, and rolling waves, most of the boats are across the channel in the lee of Water Island.  We’re such a noisy family we don’t notice the planes or jet skis, and Makai handles the rolling waves nicely, so this is our new home for the week.  We have great Sprint cell phone service, so go ahead and give us a call or send an email so we won’t be lonely.
