Blog Shots: Remembering St. Thomas

Poor Sally woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.  Her alarm didn't go off, meaning she scrambled out the door in a whirl of frustrated anxiety.  No coffee, but thankfully, she also wasn't overly late, either.

My new project is to give all the little on this blog one of these little header images. 
The one I used yesterday helped drive traffic from Twitter quite effectively. 

I sent her this little photo series by way of cheering her up.  These pics are culled from our trip to St. Thomas two years ago.  Alas, the pandemic has kept us from going back, and now we're stuck in dreary Connecticut in the middle of March.  Not only was Sally late, but it's ugly and raining outside.

Let's remember St. Thomas, yeah?

More Pics from Water Island, USVI

Finally got a chance to pull the pictures from our trip to St. Thomas and Water Island, USVI, off of Sally's digital camera.  There were nearly 360 photos on there.  These are just some of my favorites.

Reliving Water Island

We’re back from the Virgin Islands, and it’s a Monday.  I’m dealing with it, but man, this time yesterday I was waking up in an entirely different world.

Sally and I flew out of JFK.  With that we got a cheaper flight that went direct, but I have to be honest and say that the airport itself was a pain in the ass.  Considering the number of people and planes they process on a day-to-day basis, they do a decent job, but there’s still no getting around the fact that 8.5M people live in New York City and maybe 25M live in the greater NYC metropolitan area, and that’s a lot of folks.  Add in tourist traffic, and yeah y’know, it was a whole deal.  We must’ve walked a mile and a half from security to our gate and from the gate back out to the street when we got back.

That airport is amazing.
